I want to make a system where when a specific event happens a player cant chat, but they can still read what everyone else is saying, until another event undoes it. Is this possible without creating a custom chat system?
edit: im sorry im posted this a little to late im tired I though the music would keep me up. ill be checking in like 9 hours ish

local StarterGui = game:GetService('StarterGui');

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, false);

This will just disable the whole chat system meaning you won’t be able to see the chat history.
