Try this script:

-- Place this script in StarterPlayer -> StarterPlayerScripts

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.PlayerGui.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
        -- Check if the added child is the Chat
        if child:IsA("Chat") then
            -- Destroy the Chat
            child:Destroy()
        end
    end)
end)

Regular script or LocalScript?

Local script in StarterPlayerScripts.

EDIT: The given script “destroys” the chatbox

okay wait try to make a function, then run it

-- Place this script in StarterPlayer -> StarterPlayerScripts

local function destroyChat()
    local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

    -- Look for the Chat descendant within PlayerGui
    local chat = playerGui:FindFirstChildOfClass("Chat")
    if chat then
        chat:Destroy()
    end
end

-- Run the function when a new player joins or when the script is initially executed
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(destroyChat)
destroyChat()

Oh wait, my bad. Place it in a script

I believe this can be done by going into TextChatService → ChatWindowConfiguration and setting Enabled to false.

Still no.

Tried this a while ago, did nothing whatsoever.

#11

It might be because you’re using the LegacyChatService. This method should work in the new TextChatService version.

I’m using the new TextChatService.

#13

This is the old chat system. Go to TextChatService → ChatVersion property → set to TextChatService.

Tried it myself, it sounds like this is the behavior you’re looking for.
