How to hide the chat?

Yes, because of the new chat system

It don’t work because of the new chat system, (Is the first thing at my code)

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local LPlayer = players.LocalPlayer
local UserInputS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Gui = script.Parent
local MainF = Gui:WaitForChild("MainFrame")
local Typer = MainF:WaitForChild("Typer")
local SendB = Typer:WaitForChild("Send")
local MessageS = MainF:WaitForChild("MessagesScrolling")
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local MessagesNum = 0

local TextChatS = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local Channel:TextChannel = TextChatS:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):WaitForChild("RBXGeneral")
local TextS = game:GetService("TextService")

local ToCloneF = script:WaitForChild("TextFrame")
local ToCloneMessage = script:WaitForChild("Message1")
local SizeOfSrolling = 0

local MessagesT = {}
for i = 1, 50, 1 do
	table.insert(MessagesT, 0)
end


repeat wait() until LPlayer.Character
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, false)

Rooilo0:

local UserInputS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

In the new chat system, chat cannot be completely disabled using traditional methods. However, you can still customize the chat behavior and hide the default chat visuals.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

-- Oculta o chat padrão do Roblox
local function HideDefaultChat()
    PlayerGui:SetTopbarTransparency(1) -- Torna a barra superior transparente
    PlayerGui:SetChatWindowActive(false) -- Desativa a janela de chat
end

HideDefaultChat()

This code will make the top bar transparent and disable the default Roblox chat window. However, it’s still important to point out that the new TextChatService chat system can accommodate additional reservations for chat customization and handling.

Ok, thanks! I will use it rn. (Addind the code)

Quwanterz · June 28, 2023, 3:42pm

SetCoreGuiEnabled still works with the new chat system. I tested it out now.

Are you sure it didn’t error? The SetCoreGuiEnabled can error. That’s why it is wrapped in a pcall to handle the error.

Rooilo0 · June 28, 2023, 3:43pm

Yes, im pretty sure. Anyways, let me add it at the end of the code

Quwanterz · June 28, 2023, 3:43pm

Please try the method again. No matter how much I run the code I created, the chat is disabled.

We can also take a look at your code that disables the chat.

Look: What I see:

	MessageS.CanvasSize = UDim2.fromOffset(0,SizeOfSrolling)

	Typer.Text = ""
end)

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, false)

First of all, SetChatWindowActive and SetTopbarTransparency is not a valid method of PlayerGui. As a matter of fact, there is no official documentation regarding the method.

You are being suspicious here. Your code contains comments in another language, and you used a method that doesn’t exist. Are you using ChatGPT?

Quwanterz · June 28, 2023, 3:47pm

Are there any errors in the output regarding CoreGui?

You could also take a screenshot of your output so we can analyze it.

Rooilo0 · June 28, 2023, 3:48pm

Sure, let me show you:

The warn of No item id submited is other thing

Quwanterz · June 28, 2023, 3:50pm

Did you enable Error messages to be displayed? You can check if it is enabled by going to the Output window and look for a dropdown like this:

Rooilo0 · June 28, 2023, 3:51pm

Yes, tes, Is enabled (I have never disabled any type of logs)

PpatoProgrammer · June 28, 2023, 3:53pm

Here.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
local TextChannels = TextChatService.TextChannels
local Channel = TextChannels:GetChannel("DefaultChannel")

local ChatGui = script.Parent -- Referência ao GUI do chat
local Typer = ChatGui.MainFrame.Typer -- Referência ao objeto de digitação de mensagem
local SendButton = Typer.Send -- Botão de envio de mensagem
local MessagesScrolling = ChatGui.MainFrame.MessagesScrolling -- Área de rolagem das mensagens

-- Função para enviar uma mensagem
local function SendMessage(message)
    if message ~= "" then
        TextChatService:SendMessageToChannel(Channel, message)
    end
end

-- Função para exibir uma mensagem no chat
local function DisplayMessage(playerName, message)
    local messageFrame = ChatGui.MessageTemplate:Clone()
    messageFrame.Visible = true
    messageFrame.NameLabel.Text = playerName
    messageFrame.MessageLabel.Text = message
    messageFrame.Parent = MessagesScrolling
end

-- Evento de mensagem recebida
Channel:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Messages"):Connect(function()
    local messages = Channel.Messages
    local lastMessage = messages[#messages]
    if lastMessage then
        DisplayMessage(lastMessage.FromSpeaker, lastMessage.Message)
    end
end)

-- Evento de clique no botão de envio
SendButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local message = Typer.Text
    SendMessage(message)
    Typer.Text = "" -- Limpa o campo de digitação após o envio da mensagem
end)

-- Evento para rolar a área de mensagens
MessagesScrolling:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CanvasPosition"):Connect(function()
    -- Atualize a posição das mensagens conforme a área de rolagem é movida
    MessagesScrolling.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, -MessagesScrolling.CanvasPosition.Y)
end)

I made an example code here, the dialogue lines are in Portuguese (yes, I’m Brazilian) but it won’t make it difficult to understand it.

Make sure you have a user interface (GUI) called “ChatGui” that contains the necessary objects, such as “MainFrame” for the main structure of the chat, “Typer” for the message typing field, “Send” for the button for sending and “MessagesScrolling” for the message scrolling area.

It is also necessary to have a template object called “MessageTemplate” inside the “MessagesScrolling” to display incoming messages.

Yes, but how to disable the deatful Chat system box?

Quwanterz · June 28, 2023, 3:55pm

He is probably just sending code from ChatGPT. Don’t trust it.

PpatoProgrammer · June 28, 2023, 3:56pm

→ Seriosly bro? Ok, ok. I’ll let it go, better not stress.

FloofyNezzled · June 28, 2023, 3:57pm

I mean, there’s really not anything to “not trust” here, but the code is fairly irrelevant to OP’s problem since it’s just a half-written rewrite

PpatoProgrammer · June 28, 2023, 3:58pm

To recap. You have SetCore and StarterGui, right? Attempts to set the ChatWindowPosition property to an off-screen position, making the box invisible.

Quwanterz · June 28, 2023, 3:58pm

What we could try is to add a “retry” when SetCoreGuiEnabled is called.

I wrote a function for it:

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local maxRetries = 5

local function DisableChat()
	local retries = 0
	local success,message
	repeat
		success,message = pcall(function()
			StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, false)
		end)
		if not success then
			retries += 1
			task.wait(1)
		end
	until success == true or retries == maxRetries
	if not success then
		error(message)
	end
end

Call the function when you want to disable the Chat.
