Is it possible to add a chat bubble using real-time typing?
Basically, Im wondering if it is possible to script a chat bubble above a user’s head that shows real-time typing. Instead of “. . .” appearing Im wanting the words being typed. Is this possible on Roblox?
Not sure if it possible with the default chat system, but with a custom one it’s pretty simple. Although with custom chat systems, reporting doesn’t work at all.
Would it be against Roblox TOS to have a custom chat? If there is no working report feature I can’t imagine it is.
I don’t think it’s against ToS. Unless it does change in the future. Some games do have a completely custom chatting system.
I’ve seen it in a game before that has a sign that lets you type your words on the sign in real-time.
However, I highly wouldn’t recommend it because I’ve seen some people use it to say swear words. Yes, the full swear words did get censored but half of it wasn’t.
I really think you should not implement real-time typing in bubble chats.
Would it be better if it was implemented for an 18+ vers only?
Not entirely sure but yes probably since game developers have the option allow strong language in their game.
Awesome, that’ll work perfectly.
You would have to filter the text constantly, which is not very practical…
It is allowed to make a custom chat, and other stuff like signs you write on etc, but you must filter every user generated text that others can see
Even if you implement this in a 17+ game, I highly doubt you can get away with not filtering text. I’m not too sure how strong language is implemented, it could be voice chat, or maybe the filter gets less strict in games with strong language
