How do I make a gamepass chat tag?

[Ghostinee (Ghost)]

So, I have a script I’m using that gives a player if they own a VIP gamepass a unique chat tag, and if they own a Mega VIP gamepass they also have another unique chat tag, now if the person has bought both of these gamepasses, I want to make a script so that I have a unique chat tag if you own both of the gamepasses, any ideas how I can make it?

if megavip then
	--Give mega VIP tag.
elseif vip then
	--Give VIP tag.
else
	--Default.
end

Can you explain more please? (I’m sorry I’m a beginner at scripting).

I want to make it so that for example if you have the VIP gamepass the chat tag is (VIP) and if you have the Mega VIP gamepass the chat tag is (Mega VIP) and if you own both gamepasses, it will give a new unique chat tag like (Ultra VIP) or something.

You can use ChatService and the SetExtraData() function for it. Now, retrieving ChatService and reaching the SetExtraData() function is a bit of a pain, so I’ll save you the hustle and give you an example code.

-- Variables --

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local ChatService = require(ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner"):WaitForChild("ChatService"))

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Variables --

local VIPGamepassId = 1234567890
local MegaVIPGamepassId = 1234567890

-- Scripting --

ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(PlayerName)
	local PlayerId = Players[PlayerName].UserId
	local Speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(PlayerName)
	
	local OwnsVIPGamepass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(PlayerId, VIPGamepassId)
	local OwnsMegaVIPGamepass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(PlayerId, MegaVIPGamepassId)
	
	if OwnsVIPGamepass and OwnsMegaVIPGamepass then
		Speaker:SetExtraData("Tags", {{TagText = "Ultra VIP", TagColor = Color3.fromRGB(26, 129, 255)}})
	elseif OwnsMegaVIPGamepass then
		Speaker:SetExtraData("Tags", {{TagText = "Mega VIP", TagColor = Color3.fromRGB(97, 255, 49)}})
	elseif OwnsVIPGamepass then
		Speaker:SetExtraData("Tags", {{TagText = "VIP", TagColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 37, 153)}})
	end
end)

And here is said example code in use:

When owning both Mega VIP and VIP gamepass

When owning Mega VIP gamepass

When owning VIP gamepass

When owning neither gamepasses (so the default user)

You can of course expand this however you’d like. This should work for your case, but you should also look at the code and try to understand it. If you care about taking a look at the ChatService documentation (which isn’t very user friendly), here is the link to it:

Lua Chat System — Server API — ChatService

Hopefully this helped.

FYI: ChatSpeakers have a GetPlayer method, so no need to reinvent the wheel by searching the Players service for the player. This code can also throw in the instance that a non-player speaker is added because they don’t have an associated player instance.

How to create a chat tag based on if the user has bought a gamepass

Hey there, snazzy tutorial! Another user posted a tutorial regarding the Lua Chat System earlier which is just how to configure tags in general. Like that post, I have feedback to give so that you can properly use the Lua Chat System’s API to your advantage. I would encourage you to take a look at some of the docs, since they do have some very useful information. GetService Please use GetService to remain consistent in how you get services. As some services can be renamed, do not have proper …
