How to filter text correctly?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello! I was recently making a character customization system and there you can change your character name and have it above your head in a Billboard Gui, so I was trying to filter every string the player types in a specific TextBox, but the problem is that the text is not getting filtered, I tried searching all over the DevForum and DeveloperHub and I found nothing that can fix that.

Local Script:

NameBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
	NameValue.Value = NameBox.Text
	NameChangedRE:FireServer(NameValue.Value,NameValue)
end)

Server Script:

NameChangedRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,text,nameVal)

	local headGui = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.NameGui
	local notification = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("CustomizationGui").Notification
	
	if string.match(text,"%d+") or string.match(text,"%p+") or string.match(text,"%d+%p+") then
		notification.Text = "You can't have special characters or numbers in your name!"
		notification.Visible = true
		wait(3)
		if notification.Visible == true then
			notification.Visible = false	
		end
	else
		if text ~= "" then
			local newText
			local filteredString
			
			local success, errorMsg = pcall(function()
				newText = TextService:FilterStringAsync(text,player.UserId)
			end)
			
			local filtered, unFiltered = pcall(function()
				filteredString = newText:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync(player.UserId)
			end)
			
			if success and filteredString then
				nameVal.Value = filteredString
				headGui.TextLabel.Text = filteredString
			else
				notification.Text = "You can't use an inappropriate name!"
				notification.Visible = true
				wait(3)
				if notification.Visible == true then
					notification.Visible = false	
				end
			end
		else
			nameVal.Value = ""
			headGui.TextLabel.Text = ""
		end
	end
end)
