How do I make it so that when someone says something, something happens to JUST them?

I am currently trying to make a “Commands Playground” Type game. I am going to need this a lot but do not understand how to do it.
(sorry for poor explanation in advance) to explain further, I want to make it so when said player says, Example message, it happens to said player.
I have the whole “when player says thing, event happens” thing down,

I just don’t know how to detect that the player said something and the event only happens to that player.
(for reference I am trying to make it so that when a player says, I am speed, their speed increases.)

Do you want the effect to be on the player’s client or every other player’s client?

#3

I want everyone to be able to see the difference, I just want the event to only affect them person. (sorry for being so vague)

#4

Also, the effect is only for the player that chatted that so you are good to go with that portion of script.
You just have to make it a server script and not a local script.

#5

So all I have to do is make it so their walkspeed is higher?

#6

Yea, you gotta get their Humanoid and change its WalkSpeed property

#7

so something like this?

 local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
       humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25
#8

Yea, that’s the way to do it. You can also customize JumpPower

#9 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
		if string.lower(message) == "I am speed" then
			local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = 50
		end
	end)
end)

final script being this then?
(edit: can’t be right, not working. I can’t tell what I am missing.)

You are missing the variable ‘char’
Here’s the complete script…

#11

You can also use the New TextChatService for this as it has commands for this reason

ServerScript:

local IAmSpeed = Instance.new("TextChatCommand")
IAmSpeed.Parent = game:GetService("TextChatService")
IAmSpeed.PrimaryAlias = "I am speed"

IAmSpeed.Triggered:Connect(function(Source,Text)
	
	local Player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Source.Name)
	
	local Char = Player.Character
	
	Char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 50;
	
	
end)

Btw, would I basically do the same for JUmpPower?

#16

Yes, you would do the same thing.

#17

I replaced the Speed with jumpower and renamed stuff and it isn’ working

#18

It’s JumpPower. It’s the exact spelling ‘JumpPower’

#19

Yeah, thats what I did I think.
