1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
   I want to get all chat messages from players in a certain radius from another player, locally
2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
   I don’t know how to do it sob sob
3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
   None, and i haven’t found any topics on this

Help would be really useful!

You could store all chat messages in a server script like this

local messages = {
{
Text = "Hello",
Owner = 1234,
},
{
Text = "Yes",
Owner = 843,
}
}

And you could create a remote function that the client can invoke to get messages around a certain position, then the server would check all of the messages, check their owners position, and return them if they are close enough

I was thinking of somehow using plr.Chatted paired with calculating the magnitude, but i wanna do this locally, would a for loop work for something like that?

I don’t think that player.Chatted works locally, you can use that event and fire a remote event from the server to the client whenever someone chats, and after that you can display the chat message locally

Make localscript in StarterPlayerScripts and put this script

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")

local RADIUS = 50 -- Set the radius you want to check

local function onPlayerChatted(player, message)
    if player ~= LocalPlayer then
        local distance = (LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.Position - player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position).Magnitude
        
        if distance <= RADIUS then
            print(player.Name .. ": " .. message) -- Replace this with your desired action
        end
    end
end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
        onPlayerChatted(player, message)
    end)
end

-- Connect existing players
for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    onPlayerAdded(player)
end

-- Listen for new players joining
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
