Hi!
Recently I started making a ChatSettings script.It s not work obviously as Roblox’s core looks for it in a folder.
How would my script find that script in this location
( 
)
, and replace itself with the already existing one?
Maybe copy the whole folder that Roblox creates, and then replace ChatSettings with your module.
wait (0.1)
script.Parent.ClientChatModules.ChatSettings:Destroy()
That can be done by that code, but that’s only half. How would I get my module in there?
Nono I mean, play-test the game, copy the folder inside the Chat service, then stop the play-test and paste the folder you copied inside the Chat service, and then remove the Roblox’ module and put yours. This is probably one of the best options as it doesn’t require code, however, if Roblox updates their modules you’d have to redo everything. If you want to put your script there then you can simply clone it and parent it to the ClientChatModules.
That won’t even work. It’s still there.
Oh, it doesn’t replace the default one?
Yes. But when it plays, it will insert the default ones again, ignoring mine.
Weird, I tried on a blank baseplate and it works fine for me.
You’ve done this too right? I put a print("Custom module test") inside of the ChatSettings module and it printed correctly. I also checked it in-game and the new line of code was there.
I replaced it, and got this.
I don’t understand, you mean the chat doesn’t work anymore?
Did I make something wrong with the settings?

The only thing wrong is how the chat looks cause everything else works fine, so you might want to mess around with the size and position of it.
