Chat coding: Working with tags and name colours?

I’d recommend that you use the SpeakerAdded event of ChatChannel to do this, as it guarantees that the speaker exists. local Players = game:GetService("Players") local ScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService") local ChatService = require(ScriptService.ChatServiceRunner.ChatService) ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(SpeakerName) local UserId = Players:FindFirstChild(SpeakerName).UserId local Speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(SpeakerName) if UserId == 20415935 then -- st…

I know what he’s trying to achieve. It seems like he doesn’t know much about the Lua chat and what it can do so I’m suggesting features he could look into if this tag thing he’s trying to implement is a solution to a symptom resultant of not blocking commands from entering chat.

I’ve also suggested seams for where he can modify the Lua chat to include a new text label to accomodate his new tag - with unique color.

I think I could make a module under “ChatModules” and have it edit the message every time a speaker says something.

This is the right way to go about it. You’ll have to register a filter function to the ChatService to be able to format the message to your liking.
