How can I get the player chat content in a script

Hey !
I’m trying to make an intercom, so I need to get what the player said in a specific zone.
Scripting itself shouldn’t be a problem, but I just want to know how I can get player chat content in a script
Like if he say “Someone is sus”, the server will say “Someone is sus”

function ListenForChat(Player)
       Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
             local Filtered = game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(Message, Player.UserId)
             -- Do stuff with Player and Filtered, not Message
       end)
end

This is only possible on the server due to filter text, get a remote function if you want to do this on the client

What do you mean by – Do stuff with Player and Filtered, not Message

Message is the unfiltered message with any swear words. Filtered is the filtered version.
You can use the player’s message and manipulate it in any way you want

Ok so here is the script that I created, but server doesn’t say anything :

local zone = game.Workspace.Detection
function ListenForChat(Player)
	Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
		local Filtered = game:GetService("TextService"):FilterStringAsync(Message, Player.UserId)
		local function chat(message)
			game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", { Text = message, Colour = Color3.fromRGB(16, 110, 139), Font = Enum.Font.SourceSans})
		end
		chat(Filtered)
	end)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		if zone.Touched then
			ListenForChat()
		end
	end)
end)

ListemForChat automatically listens for the chat. No need for player.Chatted.
Just call ListenForChat(Player)
Also, for ChatMakeSystemMessage, you have to use a remote event and fire all clients to make the system message on the client
