I have to move the GUI’s up so mobile and tablet players can play, but the chat bar is overlapping it. I don’t want to move the GUI’s so I was curious if there was a way to make the box where people type smaller. If you know-how, or can give mee any step in the right direction, that would be highly appreciated!

Note: I don’t think this is a easier or hard way to do it, but it will help.

Ok, so if you want to make the chat bar smaller or put it somewhere else, you could maybe get a folder of all the chat settings to adjust it, here are the steps:

  • First, you would want to test Studio and check the Chat category, open it up.
  • Then, find the folder ClientChatModules and then copy it, then past it into Chat.
  • After that, just go into the script called ChatSettings, and you will see all the code for the chat.
  • If you go from line 30 to line 75, you can see the sizes for the Chat frame, and especially bubble chat and fonts.

Hope that helped out!
