How to reload Default Text Chat?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Lets say I ClearAllChildren() from all Services that holds Default Chat scripts, GUIs etc.
Is there a way I could bring/reload back the Chat for all players?

I tried by forking scripts/guis related with the chat, store them in a folder, cloning them and place them back to where they belong (server and client). The result looks normal but seems that events are not connected or something cause the text sent by player is not showing in Chat frame.

Is there an easy way? to reload default chat for all players, restore server/client modules/gui, remotes, connections to events, etc

I know I can just create my own chat system so would be easier to destroy and reload a fresh one, my doubt its about the roblox default one, is there an easy way to reload it?

Thank you for reading, any suggestion is appreciated!

Why do you really need it though? Is it for hiding the chat or what ?

#3

Nope, its about an scenario where the Chat scripts got deleted and I want to restore entire system. The reason why its not important, the context still clear, a way to reload the chat system entirely, just a doubt

#4

Just hide the chat using MuteAll() maybe, I don’t have much experience and even Roblox used to have much better info before back in 2018, not now…

Thank you, well its not about a feature to hide the chat for players. I dont know how to explain it… Lets say a player with server script access decides to delete the ChatServiceRunner script from ServerScriptService, now I want to rebuild/reload entire Default Chat Roblox system.

Meanwhile I will opt for building a chat system for easy reloading if theres not an easy way to do this

#6

Hmm… Store the replica of the scripts in a different folder maybe. Then try to load it for that player.

Already done, except for the TextChatService which holds instances not able to be saved inside a module, but I hardly think that could be the issue, probably its the order in which the scripts are cloned and placed, or simply, it cant be done without specific instructions of how Chat service works… reading all modules and scripts from related with chat… would be better build a new chat for my case…
