How could I make commands not show in chat?

My biggest problem with textchatcommands are that they appear in chat for everyone to see, and I don’t want that to happen. Can someone tell me how to hide them? (I am using textchatservice)

Is switching to using TextChatCommands feasible in your case? Using those should hide the message by default.

If not, you could assign a callback to TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage, if the text matches a command, make a TextChatProperties, set the text to a whitespace character, then return it to hide this message

local textChatService = game:GetService('TextChatService')

local commandList = { -- placeholder example command list
	'gameversion'
}

function textChatService.OnIncomingMessage(message)
	local text = message.Text:lower()
	
	for _, command in commandList do
		if text:match(`^/{ command }`) then -- we hide the message
			local properties = Instance.new('TextChatMessageProperties')
			properties.Text = ' ' -- has to be a whitespace character
			
			return properties
		end
	end
end

I am already using TextChatCommands and they still show in chat.

Ok, that’s odd, you’re making these commands on the server or in studio right?

I am making the commands on the client, welp I will probably have to change that. Thanks now I understand the problem.
