Greetings devforum.
I am making a game like De pride isle, although when it comes to the staffing stuff, I am experiencing some issues, that include making a message system for it, basically when you click the send button, it will send it to a scrolling frame, if there is already messages above, they will move down & eventually delete hope that makes sense if you need more of a showcase please let me know and I’ll provide you a video on what I need!
Best regards,
sam

But how would I make it move down, then once a certain amount of messages reach they start to disappear?
You can do something like this when the player sends a message:
local ScrollingFrame = script.Parent
local MaxMessages = 5
local MessagesCount = 0
for _, object in pairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("GuiObject") then
MessagesCount += 1
end
end
if MessagesCount >= MaxMessages then
local LastMessage
for _, object in ipairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("GuiObject") then
LastMessage = object
break
end
end
if LastMessage then
LastMessage:Destroy()
end
end
And to make the messages move down, set the VerticalAlignment to Bottom in the UIListLayout
I made a quick script, but nothings appearing.
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
MessageEvent.Event:Connect(function(plr)
if script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == "" or script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == " " then
warn("You need a message to send")
else
local Template = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller.Template:Clone()
Template.TextMain.Text = script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text
Template.IconBorder.TitleBorder.Title.TextLabel.Text = p.Name
Template.IconBorder.Icon.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/headshot-thumbnail/image?userId=".. p.UserId .."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
Template.Visible = true
end
end)
Alrighty, let me test that script thank you!
Remember to change the parent of the template to the scrollingframe when you clone it.
If you want the message to appear on the screen of all players, use a RemoteEvent | Roblox Creator Documentation and you can use TextService | Roblox Creator Documentation to filter the text
Still having issues, here’s the script:
Local script:
-- VARIABLES --
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SS = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local MessageEvent = script.Parent.MessageEvent
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local MaxMessages = 8
local NotificationSound = script.Parent.Notif
local ScrollingFrame = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller
-- SCRIPT --
local MessagesCount = 0
MessageEvent.Event:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == "" or script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == " " then
warn("You need a message to send")
else
local Template = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller.Template
Template:Clone()
Template.Parent = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller
Template.TextMain.Text = script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text
Template.IconBorder.TitleBorder.Title.TextLabel.Text = p.Name
Template.IconBorder.Icon.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/headshot-thumbnail/image?userId=".. p.UserId .."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
Template.Visible = true
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging:FireServer(script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text)
end
end)
for _, object in pairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("GuiObject") then
MessagesCount += 1
end
end
if MessagesCount >= MaxMessages then
local LastMessage = ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()[#ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()]
if LastMessage:IsA("GuiObject") then
LastMessage:Destroy()
end
end
script.Parent.SCMain.ImageButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
MessageEvent:Fire()
end)
Server-script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, context)
if context == nil then
print("No message")
else
print(context .. plr.Name .. plr.UserId .. " - Found")
end
end)
It prints the following,
Meaning that it’s firing but not appearing for other players, I’m not sure where I went wrong my head’s really confused today and probably did something wrong, so yeah, lol i apologize.
Use RemoteEvent | Roblox Creator Documentation
I think this should work.
LocalScript:
-- VARIABLES --
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SS = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local MessageEvent = script.Parent.MessageEvent
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local MaxMessages = 8
local NotificationSound = script.Parent.Notif
local ScrollingFrame = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller
-- SCRIPT --
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playerFrom, message)
local MessagesCount = 0
for _, object in pairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("GuiObject") then
MessagesCount += 1
end
end
if MessagesCount >= MaxMessages then
local LastMessage
for _, object in ipairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("GuiObject") then
LastMessage = object
break
end
end
if LastMessage then
LastMessage:Destroy()
end
end
local Template = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller.Template:Clone()
Template.Parent = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller
Template.TextMain.Text = message
Template.IconBorder.TitleBorder.Title.TextLabel.Text = playerFrom.Name
Template.IconBorder.Icon.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/headshot-thumbnail/image?userId=".. playerFrom.UserId .."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
Template.Visible = true
end)
script.Parent.SCMain.ImageButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == "" or script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == " " then
warn("You need a message to send")
else
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging:FireServer(script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text)
end
end)
Server script:
local TextService = game:GetService("TextService")
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, context)
if context == nil then
print("No message")
else
local success, result = pcall(function()
return TextService:FilterStringAsync(context, plr.UserId)
end)
if success then
local filteredMessage = result:GetNonChatStringForBroadcastAsync()
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging:FireAllClients(plr, filteredMessage)
end
end
end)
Hey it works, but the message aka the template frame isn’t cloning itself and is just sticking to 1 version of its-self.
I corrected it, does it work now?
Testing, thank you for all the help!
It now works but now the messages aint deleting once it reaches the max limit, lol.
Can you take a screenshot of the explorer and send it here?
Where, in-game or out of the game, like whern it’s running or?
When it’s running and I’m pressing.
Does it work if you put the code like this?
-- VARIABLES --
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SS = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local MessageEvent = script.Parent.MessageEvent
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local MaxMessages = 8
local NotificationSound = script.Parent.Notif
local ScrollingFrame = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller
-- SCRIPT --
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playerFrom, message)
local Template = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller.Template:Clone()
Template.Parent = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller
Template.TextMain.Text = message
Template.IconBorder.TitleBorder.Title.TextLabel.Text = playerFrom.Name
Template.IconBorder.Icon.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/headshot-thumbnail/image?userId=".. playerFrom.UserId .."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
Template.Visible = true
local MessagesCount = 0
for _, object in pairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("Frame") then
MessagesCount += 1
end
end
if MessagesCount >= MaxMessages then
local LastMessage
for _, object in ipairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("Frame") then
LastMessage = object
break
end
end
if LastMessage then
LastMessage:Destroy()
end
end
end)
script.Parent.SCMain.ImageButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == "" or script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == " " then
warn("You need a message to send")
else
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging:FireServer(script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text)
end
end)
Nope, still the same issue 
This should fix the problem:
-- VARIABLES --
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SS = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local MessageEvent = script.Parent.MessageEvent
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local MaxMessages = 8
local MessagesTable = {}
local NotificationSound = script.Parent.Notif
local ScrollingFrame = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller
-- SCRIPT --
ScrollingFrame.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Object)
if Object:IsA("Frame") then
table.insert(MessagesTable, Object)
end
end)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playerFrom, message)
local Template = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller.Template:Clone()
Template.Parent = script.Parent.SCMain.ChatScroller
Template.TextMain.Text = message
Template.IconBorder.TitleBorder.Title.TextLabel.Text = playerFrom.Name
Template.IconBorder.Icon.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/headshot-thumbnail/image?userId=".. playerFrom.UserId .."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
Template.Visible = true
local MessagesCount = 0
for _, object in pairs(ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
if object:IsA("Frame") then
MessagesCount += 1
end
end
if MessagesCount >= MaxMessages then
if #MessagesTable > 0 then
local LastMessage = MessagesTable[1]
if LastMessage then
LastMessage:Destroy()
table.remove(MessagesTable, 1)
end
end
end
end)
script.Parent.SCMain.ImageButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == "" or script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text == " " then
warn("You need a message to send")
else
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Messaging:FireServer(script.Parent.SCMain.TextBox.Text)
end
end)
Still nope, doesn’t work.
