How to use RegisterChatCallback

[briana_superstar]

hi, i have this code:

game.Chat:RegisterChatCallback(Enum.ChatCallbackType.OnServerReceivingMessage,function(name,obj,ChannelName)
	local message = obj
    local isAdmin,Type
	for t,plr2 in next,developers do
		warn(type(name))
	    if plr2 == name then
		    isAdmin=true
			Type = t
			break
		end
	end
	if isAdmin then
		warn(true,type(message))
	    message.Text = '{'..Type..'} '..message.Text
	end
end)

it always warns ‘table’ but how to get then the transmiter’s name?

Are you trying to add chat tags to certain users? Don’t use RegisterChatCallback for this. Add their tags via the ChatSpeaker object’s extra data methods.

On my tutorial about using RegisterChatCallback (specifically for modifying chat settings), someone posed a question about tags to which I answered. You can salvage the code there to understand how to apply tags to users. View that here:

Changing chat type and other chat settings without forking

RegisterChatCallback itself is used, as its name states, to register callbacks to the chat. The first argument of RegisterChatCallback accepts a ChatCallbackType Enum, so depending on which one you decide to use, that changes the necessities for your code. Specifically for OnCreatingChatWindow, the chat service calls InvokeChatCallback and fires off any functions registered to OnCreatingChatWindow before the chat window is created. We keep our script in ReplicatedFirst so that the function is r…

If this isn’t sufficient enough (especially with respect to the braces), you will need to add a new chat type processor that sanitises the tags to be between braces as opposed to brackets.
