How I can make player chat tag system without changing chatservice version

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. **I made a tag system for players but it needs to change chat service version to work

  2. **Roblox going to remove legacyChatService so I need to use it on normal version

You can use the port I made of LegacyChat

You’ll have to change how you get ChatService by instead using

local Chat = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Chat)
local ChatService = Chat:GetChatService() -- Finding the module under Chat also works, but this is something I added that is simpler

If you put the chat inside of replicated storage (which is what is recommended)

Everything else should work as it used to

You can also apply chat tags to the default TextChatSerivce UI by using .OnIncomingMessage event, and returning a TextChatMessageProperties to which you’ve set the PrefixText property. Color is applied through rich text
