No idea to be honest, it supposed to just stop it from sending?
lmao so we’re on the same page

I have debugged this further and still no trace of deletion shown:
local logsChannel = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("Logs")
logsChannel.OnIncomingMessage = function(message)
print("OnIncomingMessage triggered")
local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
if message.TextSource then
print("Message has TextSource")
local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
if player then
print("Message from player: " .. player.Name)
properties.Text = ""
print("Message hidden")
return properties
else
print("Message from non-player or unknown user")
end
else
print("Message has no TextSource")
end
print("Allowing message to pass through")
properties.Text = message.Text
return properties
end
Prints:
16:34:46.424 OnIncomingMessage triggered - Client - ChannelsManager:34
16:34:46.424 Message has TextSource - Client - ChannelsManager:38
16:34:46.424 Message from player: TeamDreams123 - Client - ChannelsManager:41
16:34:46.424 Message hidden - Client - ChannelsManager:43
16:34:46.504 OnIncomingMessage triggered - Client - ChannelsManager:34
16:34:46.504 Message has TextSource - Client - ChannelsManager:38
16:34:46.504 Message from player: TeamDreams123 - Client - ChannelsManager:41
16:34:46.504 Message hidden - Client - ChannelsManager:43
Also I have no idea why the prints happen twice.
Nothing I have tried is working. I need someone else to help me with this (preferably someone who is experienced with TextChatService)
This is becoming a massive error for our game. Needing urgent help now.
Still a critical error. Will continue to bump this until someone notices it.
serverscript:
local chat = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local channel = chat:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("Logs")
channel.ShouldDeliverCallback = function(message, source)
if message.TextSource then
local sentByPlayer = PS:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
if sentByPlayer then
return false
end
end
return true
end
but the localplayer can still send messages there even if no one can see them this is my workaround
localscript:
local chatWindowConfiguration = TextChatService.ChatWindowConfiguration
TextChatService.OnChatWindowAdded = function(message: TextChatMessage)
if message.TextSource then
if message.TextChannel.Name ~= 'Logs' then return end
if message.TextSource.UserId == Players.LocalPlayer.UserId then
local properties = chatWindowConfiguration:DeriveNewMessageProperties()
properties.PrefixText = " "
properties.Text = " "
return properties
end
end
end
What is the ‘ps’ definining?
Nevermind, I found out. It’s the ‘players’ service
Also do you know a way to disable bubble chat?
And, just in case it’s been missed out:
If you want to have channels for system-generated messages, that players can view, how about just adding players to the channel and changing their TextSource.CanSend property to be false?
I’ve done that. Didn’t work. But do you know how to disable bubble chats?
In a little more depth, I enabled it but still on the client that the player sends it on they still recieve the message. Could you give me some code?
That is odd.
Then I’m guessing RBOLOX has made the mistake of having these properties heavily based on the client-side UI responsible for double-checking these properties. As a result of this, I’ll make an addition to WinryChat 1.5 to add support for TextSource.CanSend.
The fact these bugs are appearing (at an alarming rate) for TextChat is disconcerting for the QA and QC of the Core UI development team.
My question still stands, do you know how to disable the bubble chats from that script?
I’ll look into it thoroughly and come back once I have a working solution, as I’m planning to add support for that in WinryChat anyway.

Figured something out yet?
Just an update on what I’ve got so far:
-
You need to set BubbleChatConfiguration.Enabled to false - This will disable the default bubble chat and stop us from having problems.
-
You need to custom-setup each bubble with TextChatService:DisplayBubble() - This is client-sided only, so others won’t see messages if they aren’t supposed to.
ROBLOX has tried hard to make it so you can’t just do custom visibility bubble chats, but they’ve left an endpoint open to still hide them entirely due to NPCs needing to talk. Test images & script:
This does open up some possibilities of Per-Bubble Customization to indicate which chat channel is being spoken in.
But that would completely disable all bubble chats from other players and all channels? Maybe a custom one would be better.
You’ll be using DisplayBubble client-sided in conjunction with a custom chat system if you go that route.
That’s the only way I can find to do it, and it’s a way to use the API to hide bubble chat messages from players without access to a specific channel.
Maybe you could do it so if a player has a rank in something like group id 1 and it is 255 then it will hide bubble chat messages to that specfic channel? I’m not the best with textchatservice
That would effectively be up to 255 text channels automatically created when the server loads.
You would still need to disable the default bubble chat and build DisplayBubble into the chat system instead. The only difference being that you use a server-context script (Default/Server) to get your group’s info and create text channels for each rank. Then you would only add players to:
- A Global/General Chat
- A Staff Chat (if you’re doing a homestore/cafe/hangout area)
- A Chat for the group rank of the player.
You would also add each player manually to any other chats they need to have access to (i.e. Admins and Owners get Moderator Chat access if necessary).
This has already been done, except for the one I highlighted. The logs channel needs to have access to everyone above rank 6, since our server size is 35, we need mods to be able to communicate with eachother privately.
Could you give me some code based off of the one I provided below?
local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local logWelcomeEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("Other"):WaitForChild("LogEvent")
local staffWelcomeEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("Other"):WaitForChild("StaffEvent")
local function createStaffChannel()
local staffChannel = Instance.new("TextChannel")
staffChannel.Name = "Staff"
staffChannel.Parent = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels")
end
local function createLogsChannel()
local logsChannel = Instance.new("TextChannel")
logsChannel.Name = "Logs"
logsChannel.Parent = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels")
end
local function addPlayerToStaffChannel(player)
if player:GetRankInGroup(8423759) >= 6 then
local staffChannel = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("Staff")
if staffChannel then
staffChannel:AddUserAsync(player.UserId)
staffWelcomeEvent:FireClient(player, "Hello %s! Only staff can see and type in this channel.")
end
end
end
local function addPlayerToLogsChannel(player) -- adding them to the logs channel
if player:GetRankInGroup(8423759) >= 6 then
local logsChannel = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("Logs")
if logsChannel then
local textSource = logsChannel:AddUserAsync(player.UserId)
textSource.CanSend = false
logWelcomeEvent:FireClient(player, "Hello %s, in this channel (logs) you are not allowed to send messages. These are for flagging events and other actions to assist in moderation.")
end
end
end
createStaffChannel()
createLogsChannel() -- create logs
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
addPlayerToStaffChannel(player)
addPlayerToLogsChannel(player) -- add player to logs
end)
for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
addPlayerToStaffChannel(player)
addPlayerToLogsChannel(player) -- add player to logs
end
local channel = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("Logs")
channel.ShouldDeliverCallback = function(message, source) -- removes logs messages
if message.TextSource then
local sentByPlayer = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
if sentByPlayer then
return false
end
end
return true
end
