I am trying to achieve trigger to force player chat something, how do I do this?

To make a Bubble over the head of the player, use Chat:Chat() and if you want it with in chat message too, I guess you could send a message with the player username and making it look real using
game.StarterGui:SetCore( "ChatMakeSystemMessage", { Text = "["..plr.Name.."]: Hello World", Color = Color3.fromRGB( 255,255,255 ), Font = Enum.Font.Arial, FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size24 } )
And all of that on a .Touched event, destroying or disabling the trigger to not chat multiple times.

Mind giving me the written part of the script, instead of an image? I can’t read it well.
Oh sorry my bad, here it is.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local plr = Players.LocalPlayers
game.StarterGui:SetCore( "ChatMakeSystemMessage", { Text = "["..plr.Name.."]: Hello friend!", Color = Color3.fromRGB( 255,255,255 ), Font = Enum.Font.Arial, FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size24 } )
end)
No. You need to make it client-side and put it in a place the script can run. This is the correct one:
YOUR_PART.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if not plr then return end
game.StarterGui:SetCore( "ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
Text = "["..plr.Name.."]: Hello friend!",
Color = Color3.fromRGB( 255,255,255 ),
Font = Enum.Font.Arial,
FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size24 } )
end)
SayMessage exists for this use case. It is the same method used when a client sends a message from the chat bar. It also respects a speaker’s data (e.g. any tags, chat colours, so on) and fires a bubble chat. ChatMakeSystemMessage isn’t really the proper way to do this anymore.
Do take care when forcing a user to chat that they aren’t mentioning anything inappropriate. It’s possible for you to be held accountable for that happening. Just wanted to make that known.
Some rough code I wrote up. This will not work as-is, so you preferably shouldn’t just copy and paste it. Use it as a learning resource to see how I got it done.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local ChatService = require(ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)
Part.Touched:Connect(function (hit)
-- We want to assume that the hit part is a limb of a character
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if not player then return end
local speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(player.Name)
if not speaker then return end
-- Assuming your GeneralChannelName == "All"
speaker:SayMessage("foobar", "All")
end)
Potential result:
