How do I delete a chat message?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to delete chat messages when a chat command is sent (not the default chat commands, custom ones made by me) so they dont show up to the player or anyone else, I tried following this guide but it didn’t work, I need help.

Guide that didn’t work: Can I Develop my own Chat Filtering System? Is it allowed? - #9 by colbert2677

You can’t, you can only stop it from sending.

#3

How would I do that then, to stop it from sending?

#4

You can use the Lua Chat System API to register a command.

#5

Im using the same thing as this, but its not, not sending it if it makes sense.

Script:

local util = require(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Util"))

function ProcessMessage(message, ChatWindow, ChatSettings)
	if string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!buy space" or string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!buy speed" or string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!help" then
		return true
	end
	return false
end

return {
	[util.KEY_COMMAND_PROCESSOR_TYPE] = util.COMPLETED_MESSAGE_PROCESSOR,
	[util.KEY_PROCESSOR_FUNCTION] = ProcessMessage
}

#7

theirs a 3 dots on the message and if you click on the dots it give you the option to delete the message then you need to click on it

#8

This is basically the same thing too…?

#9

You should look at the example code for RegisterProcessCommandsFunction in ChatService. The code should be in a server script

#10

The person who made the guide made another post on another post which was not the guide post about putting it in a module script, I thought module scripts are server sided too?

By server script I meant a module in ChatModules, not ClientChatModules

You should see the guide to the Lua Chat System before doing anything
In-Experience Text Chat | Roblox Creator Documentation

New Script:

function ProcessMessage(message, ChatWindow, ChatSettings)
	if string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!buy space" or string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!buy speed" or string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!help" then
		return true
	end
	return false
end
#15

What am I supposed to read!?
This would take hours to read if I read the entire thing

#16

Read the Server Modules part. It has the most important information about server chat modules. You should also read the ChatService API

#17

I have this so far

local function processMessage(message)
	if string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!buy space" or string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!buy speed" or string.lower(tostring(message)) == "!help" then
		return true
	end
	return false
end

local function runChatModule(ChatService)
	ChatService:RegisterProcessCommandsFunction(processMessage)
end

return runChatModule

In the API it says I need a function id?

#18

It still doesn’t work yet btw.

#19

Function ID should be the name of the function that you are using. You should first put the name and then the function

#20

so (“processMessage”, processMessage)?
