bruh why so many youtube tutorials make this complicated?!1

This is the best tutorial ive ever read

Is this correct:

game:GetService(“TextChatService”).OnIncomingMessage = function(msg: TextChatMessage)
local p = Instance.new(“TextChatMessageProperties”)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(msg.TextSource)

if player.UserId == 7719976151 then
	p.PrefixText = "<font color = '#0000ff'>[OWNER]</font>: "..msg.PrefixText
elseif player:IsInGroup(35622691) then
	p.PrefixText = "<font color = '#0000ff'>[FAN]</font>: "..msg.PrefixText
end
return p

end

If the message was sent by the system (e.g., “Your friend has joined you”), the player object will be nil:

In this case, player.UserId will result in an error. Therefore, the system message won’t be shown, as the function execution is halted and nothing is returned. As for the player message, it should work as expected.

To check if the message is from the system, you can simply check if msg.TextSource is nil. If it’s nil, return p without modifying it.

As for player:IsInGroup(35622691), I’m pretty sure this will involve a roundtrip to the Roblox server. So, instead of checking it multiple times for each messages, check it once and store it in a variable.

My bad, I didn’t notice this before. msg.TextSource is an object, so you need to get the UserId property from it: msg.TextSource.UserId.

And I would put that in a server script? because when I did msg.TextSource.UserId I think it either showed me an error or it showed the chat tag but not the desired one when i did it in a local script
