Why I’m doing this:
I’m making this tutorial to help people, I’ve seen people ask how they can do it, and I myself have even asked how I can do it. Most people don’t know how to do it or they think it’s not possible. So once I figured out how to do it, I decided to make this tutorial to help other people.
Notes:
I suggest you have at least average scripting knowledge of Lua before proceeding with this tutorial.
What I’m Doing:
I’m going to quickly run down how you can change the chat hotkey, and I’m going to include clips to help people that don’t like to read a lot.
How to add the chat contents:
To start, what you need to do is click the play button. Once you have done that, scroll over to the “Chat” section and copy all of the contents, after that, click “Stop” to stop the play.
After all the contents are copied, paste them into the “Chat” section out of the game.
Once you have done those steps, widen the LocalScript called “ChatScript” and double click the module called “ChatMain” under it.
Editing the hotkey:
Now that you have done that and you’re inside the script, scroll down to line 39 and edit the part that says FFlagUserHandleChatHotKeyWithContextActionService = value to say FFlagUserHandleChatHotKeyWithContextActionService = true
and then hit CTRL+G on your keyboard and enter 537 for the line number, and click OK.
Find the code that says Enum.KeyCode.Slash, change the Slash to what you wish the hotkey will be. I’m going to choose T.
Once you have done the editing, scroll up to line 533 and find the text that says Enum.UserInputState.Begin and change the Begin to End. While you’re at it, find the text on line 528 that says
if FFlagUserHandleChatHotKeyWithContextActionService then and change it to
if FFlagUserHandleChatHotKeyWithContextActionService == true then just to make things easier to understand if you end up changing something later.
Go back to the explorer and find “ChatScript”, it should be just above the ChatMain module. After you have done that, go to line 10 and change the part that says FFlagUserHandleChatHotKeyWithContextActionService = value to say FFlagUserHandleChatHotKeyWithContextActionService = true
What changing the value to
true does; it forces the value to always go with the hotkey you changed it to.
The end!
Now you should be able to go in game, hit the hotkey you decided to use and it should open the in game chat! Hope this helped!
