How would I send a chat message from the server?

For example every 30 seconds it would say ‘{System}: Hi’ in the default roblox chat
How can I do this? I tried to read about the chat service on the wiki but couldn’t find anything

There are two ways to accomplish this, however I prefer the second method:

  1. StarterGui:SetCore() → client-sided
  2. SendSystemMessage(string message , string channelName) → server-sided

For send system message is it like a function of the game object? For example: game:Sendsystemmessage()

The correct way would be ChatChannel:SendSystemMessage(string) → if you want everyone to see it.

Otherwise, this will only be visible to the speaker you specify
Speaker:SendSystemMessage(string message , string channelName )
