How to make an equip feature

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

in my game, I have a shop where you can buy things - one thing I’m selling is custom chat tags.


After finally getting that to work and save - I don’t know how to make the equip work.

I already have a function which adds a chat tag to a player

Summary 
function core:EditSpeaker(speaker, nameColor, chatColor, tags) --// object SPEAKER, col3 NAMECOLOR, col3 CHATCOLOR, table TAGS
	if not speaker then
		warn('CORE MODULE ERROR (EDITSPEAKER) | No speaker defined')
		return
	end

	if nameColor ~= "DEFAULT" then
		speaker:SetExtraData('NameColor', nameColor)
	else 
		print('Default name color')
	end

	if chatColor ~= "DEFAULT" then
		speaker:SetExtraData('ChatColor', chatColor)
	else 
		print('Default chat color')
	end

	if tags ~= "DEFAULT" then
		speaker:SetExtraData('Tags', tags)
	else 
		print("No tags specified")
	end
end

However that’s not my issue - the issue is actually enabling the chat tag which is equiped. Can anyone help?

Other info if needed
Tag format 
		local tagData = {
			Content = content.Text,
			Color = {
				R = color.R,
				G = color.G,
				B = color.B
			},
			Price = (string.len(content.Text)) * 500
		}

So Your Trying To Add Custom Chat Tags in Your Game Right?

#4

yeah - i’ve got everything else its just seeing what is equip then enabling them on the server

Sorry I Don’t Understand This Can You Clearify A Bit?

Alright

so you can buy chat tags, then they are stored in a profileservice profile with the format

	{
			Content = content.Text,
			Color = {
				R = color.R,
				G = color.G,
				B = color.B
			},
			Price = (string.len(content.Text)) * 500
		}

then on the UI seen in the video, it lists all the tags the player owns and has an equip button which applys the chat tag so you can actually see it in chat

however i dont know how to make the equip button work

Ok Done :sweat_smile:

Server Script

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService('ServerScriptService')

ChatService = require(ServerScriptService:WaitForChild('ChatServiceRunner'):WaitForChild('ChatService'))

game.ReplicatedStorage.OnEquipped.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Plr,Color,Content)
	ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(PlayerName)
		local Speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(PlayerName)
		Speaker:SetExtraData('Tags', {{TagText = Content, TagColor = Color}})
	end) 
end)

Local Script

-- Function From Which The Tag Would Be Equipped

local Color = Color3.new(color.R,color.G, color.B)
local Content = content.Text

game.ReplicatedStorage.OnEquipped:FireServer(color,Content)

-- end)

Be Sure To Have A Remote Event In Replicated Storage Name “OnEquipped”
