if i were to do fireallclients on a remote event, what would i do on the local side of the fireallclients? just chat:destroy() or what

#4

Well deleting chat messages is pretty hard to do since all the messages are just named ‘Frame’, but you could try doing

for _,v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Chat.Frame.ChatChannelParentFrame.Frame_MessageLogDisplay.Scroller:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("Frame") and v:FindFirstChild("TextLabel") and string.match(v.TextLabel.TextButton.Text,<DisplayName>)  then
v:Destroy()
end
end
#5 
ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Admin.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message)
	wait()
	print(2)
	for _, v in pairs(player.PlayerGui.Chat.Frame.ChatChannelParentFrame.Frame_MessageLogDisplay.Scroller:GetChildren()) do
		print(3)
		if v:IsA("Frame") and v:FindFirstChild("TextLabel")  then
			print(4)
			if v.TextLabel:FindFirstChild("TextButton") then
				print(5)
				if string.match(v.TextLabel.Text,message) then
					print(6)
					v:Destroy()
				end
			end

		end 
	end
end)

This works, but without the wait it doesnt work. I dont know why

#6

Does this remote fire to all clients? Because if not, then I suppose that only the admin won’t be able to see these chats.

#7

it does fire to all clients(30)

#8

Oh sorry, I didn’t read your previous replies and I was only asking based on the information given by your post.

#9

Is the remote fired as soon as the message is sent?

#10

You can’t without forking the Chat.

#11 
if player.UserId == 411491496 then
			player.Chatted:Connect(function(chat)
				local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
					local str = string.split(chat," ")
					if str[1] == "!givepet" then
						RS.Remotes.Admin:FireAllClients(str[1])
						local playerToGive = game.Players:FindFirstChild(str[2])
						if playerToGive ~= nil then
							local pet = str[3]
							if pet ~= nil and RS.Pets:FindFirstChild(pet,true) then
								local val = Instance.new("StringValue")
								val.Name = pet
								AttachUUID(val)
								val:SetAttribute("Level",1)
								val:SetAttribute("Equipped",false)
								val.Parent = playerToGive.OtherStats.Pets
								
							end
						end
					elseif string.lower(str[1]) == "!givegamepass" then
						RS.Remotes.Admin:FireAllClients(str[1])
						local playerToGive = game.Players:FindFirstChild(str[2])
						if playerToGive ~= nil then
							local gamepass = str[3]
							if gamepassIDs[gamepass] then
								if player.OtherStats.Gamepasses:FindFirstChild(gamepass) then
								else
									local val = Instance.new("StringValue")
									val.Name = gamepass
									val.Parent = playerToGive:FindFirstChild("OtherStats"):FindFirstChild("Gamepasses")
									if val.Name == "+2Pets" then player.OtherStats:FindFirstChild("MaxPetsEquipped").Value += 2 end
									if val.Name == "+5Pets" then player.OtherStats:FindFirstChild("MaxPetsEquipped").Value += 5 end
									if val.Name == "+150PetStorage" then player.OtherStats:FindFirstChild("MaxPetStorage").Value += 150 end
									if val.Name == "+350PetStorage" then player.OtherStats:FindFirstChild("MaxPetStorage").Value += 350 end
									if val.Name == "+750PetStorage" then player.OtherStats:FindFirstChild("MaxPetStorage").Value += 750 end
									if val.Name == "+1200PetStorage" then player.OtherStats:FindFirstChild("MaxPetStorage").Value += 1200 end	
									
									
								end
							end
						end

					end	
				end)
				if errormessage then print(errormessage) end
			end)
		end

this is the updated code

wdym idk what forking the chat is

#13

Basically going into the game and copying the entire contents of the chat folder somewhere.

#14

why would i need to do that? it is working with the wait, im just wondering why it isnt working without the wait

#15

You should probably just keep the wait there, it doesn’t really mess with the code or anything

#16

Maybe it’s because it needs time to load? It may happen too quickly for the game to process or something like that.

#17

You can use the same principles as this:

local chatGUI = plr.PlayerGui.Chat

local children = chatGUI.Frame.ChatChannelParentFrame.Frame_MessageLogDisplay.Scroller:GetChildren()
		
for _, v in pairs(children) do
	if v:IsA("Frame") then
		v:Destroy()
	end
end

But as you said you want this in the server, just make a :FireAllClients() and have a script to handle the code above when it receives such event.

#18

ok, I found a bug. On other player’s chats they still see the message, but on mine i dont see it. Why is that?

ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Admin.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message)
	wait()
	for _, v in pairs(player.PlayerGui.Chat.Frame.ChatChannelParentFrame.Frame_MessageLogDisplay.Scroller:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Frame") and v:FindFirstChild("TextLabel")  then
			if v.TextLabel:FindFirstChild("TextButton") then
				if string.match(v.TextLabel.Text,message) then
					v:Destroy()
				end
			end

		end 
	end
end)
#19

Did you use :FireAllClients() ?

#20

I did.(3030030303030303030303030)

#21

That’s weird, each player should have a copy of this script and when they receive this the chats should be deleted

#22

They all have the script yeah im confused
