Muting someone in a game

I’m making a mute command for an admin panel that I’m working on, though I don’t remember how to mute someone from the game

Try doing something like this:

local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner"):WaitForChild ("ChatService"))
local Channel = ChatService:GetChannel("All") -- We get the the All channel that is equal to every channel
speakerName = "ExcessEnergy"
Channel:MuteSpeaker(speakerName) -- Mute the speaker by their name

This uses MuteSpeaker to disable a certain player from chatting my name, in all channels.

“GetChannel is not a valid member of Chat”

Is your Chat variable equal to game.ChatService?

#6

Chat is equal to

game:GetService("Chat")

Since ChatService gave an error saying that it wasn’t a valid service name

That’s not a thing. I would recommend reading on the wiki about how the chat system is organized:

I have read through the documentation many a time, but somehow got it in my head that you could reference the ChatService module directly with GetService().

I made an oopsie. I believe you need to reference the ChatService ModuleScript from inside the ChatServiceRunner, that is cloned into ServerScriptService when the server starts.

local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner"):WaitForChild ("ChatService"))
