Having bubble chat can be ruined in horror games, so I am asking:
-Is there a way to change the max distance of it?

Here’s a reply I made to a post regarding disabling chat options:
It looks like Roblox removed the option to enable/disable classic and bubble chat in the game options. I found this post a few months ago when I had the same issue:
This part was most useful to me:
Let’s change our game’s chat type to Bubble Chat for our example. In a LocalScript preferably under ReplicatedFirst, set this up:
local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")
Chat:RegisterChatCallback(Enum.ChatCallbackType.OnCreatingChatWindow, function()
return {
ClassicChatEnabled = false,…

Fork the BubbleChat LocalScript and set the properties you want accordingly. The BillboardGui for BubbleChat is created at line 324, so you can integrate the LightInfluence and MaxDistance configuration in its creator function.
function this:SanitizeChatLine(msg)
if getMessageLength(msg) > MaxChatMessageLengthExclusive then
local byteOffset = utf8.offset(msg, MaxChatMessageLengthExclusive + getMessageLength(ELIPSES) + 1) - 1
return string.sub(msg, 1, byteOffset)
else
return msg
end
end
local function createBillboardInstance(adornee)
local billboardGui = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
billboardGui.Adornee = adornee
billboardGui.Size = UDim2.new(0, BILLBOARD_MAX_WIDTH, 0, BILLBOARD_MAX_HEIGHT)
billboardGui.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0, 1.5, 2)
billboardGui.Parent = BubbleChatScreenGui
local billboardFrame = Instance.new("Frame")
billboardFrame.Name = "BillboardFrame"
billboardFrame.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
billboardFrame.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, -0.5, 0)
Behaviours modification also requires a fork.

Thank you, is it also possible to do the same with name tags?

For that you could connect a function to the CharacterAdded event to change the DisplayDistanceType

I’m aware how to do that, It’s just I need it for light influence.

No, character nameplates are baked into CoreScripts. You can try and replicate nameplates to be able to do this but I don’t have the code for that on me right now.
I know it’s possible because a game I know called “The Final Stand 2” does this. It has a fork of the nameplate and has two health bars. The second one is a blue version of the health bar that represents armour integrity.
