Are you sure it’s the right script?
The error message says it’s in line 8, which is an end in this script.

Ensure you are using LegacyChatService instead of TextChatService.

And remember that WaitForChild will timeout after just 5 seconds according to the documentation.

An infinite yield warning is essentially the program waiting (yielding) for an object to be found, but is still not found after a period of 5 seconds. As mentioned by @Scottifly, this is caused by the use of :WaitForChild(). In summary, :WaitForChild() will hold (yield) the program until the parameter (the value inside of the brackets) is found. It will continue to yield the program until that object is found, and if it cannot be found then it will essentially hold the program infinitely, hence the name infinite yield.

For example, if you are using :WaitForChild() to find the object carPart1 in Workspace, but provided the parameter with game.ReplicatedStorage.carPart1, the program will continue waiting for that object to be found within ReplicatedStorage, since the object is found inside of Workspace, the program will be yielding indefinitely.

I would suggest that you revisit your :WaitForChild() methods and ensure that the parameter given is found within your game.

#7

True, but keep in mind for anybody reading this you can add the 2nd parameter to specify the wait time in any of them SoSoSo:WaitForChild(Whateverwhatever, 10 -- Or whatever wait time you want here) EDIT: Wrong reply, I meant to reply to the one above
