How to filter text on the server

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m making a module that sends request to my Discord Bot - which sends it to a channel. However, I’m not sure how to filter it.

This module will also be used for direct (roblox → discord webhook) request too.

This tutorial should be what you need.

Thank you so much!!!

Actually - this is receiving a request from the client, I need it solely on the server, not the client. Should I just use my own user id then?

Here you go.

This still asks for a userid of the player it’s receiving information from. Would I put my UserID in that spot, since the information isn’t fetched from anyone?

If I remember correctly, you can just add your own userid. I will have to check, give me a few minutes as I have this implemented somewhere!

Alright. Thanks.

Yes you can use your own userid, here’s an example

local PlayerUserId = Player['UserId']

									local FilterSuccess, FilterResult = pcall(function()
										return TextService:FilterStringAsync(
											Reason, 
											PlayerUserId
										)
									end)
									if (FilterSuccess)

(sorry for the spaces, copied it straight from studio.)

then you can use this to set the text / string:

Reason = FilterResult:GetNonChatStringForUserAsync(PlayerUserId) or ''

Alright, I appreciate you.

I’ll be making good use of this.
Thanks!

You are welcome! :laughing: I’m sure this still works, it’s not an old script
