My 'broadcast' script isn't working!

[Pish85 (rip_Zephyr)]

Alright so I’m trying to make a chat notification when someone in my game earns a badge, and the way I’m testing it is firing a remote event on all clients when the game starts. However, when I playtest it, it doesn’t work.

broadcast.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message : string)
	if not game:IsLoaded() then
		print("not loaded")
		game.Loaded:Wait()
	end
	print("Game has been loaded")
	textChatService.TextChannels.RBXGeneral:DisplaySystemMessage("<font color=\"rgb(50,255,0)\">"..message.."</font>")
	displayer:DisplaySystemMessage("WASSUp")
end)

Even the last line of code that displays “WASSUp” doesn’t work, which is really confusing. The print statements work, though.

why dont you just make it fire on the server, so once he earns it on the client side, fire a remote event on the server side that announces it in the chat

Did you just understood what you said?

Are you using LegacyChatService or the new one?

You perhaps forgot to write TextChatService.CreateDefaultTextChannels?

game.TextChatService.CreateDefaultTextChannels = true
repeat task.wait() until game:IsLoaded()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
   task.wait(3)
   game.ReplicatedStorage.Broadcast:FireAllClients(plr.Name..' joined!')
end)

local tcs = game:GetService('TextChatService')
game.ReplicatedStorage.Broadcast.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(msg)
   tcs.TextChannels.RBXGeneral:DisplaySystemMessage("<font color='rgb(255,0,0)'>"..msg.."</font>"
end)

@MysteryX2076

game.TextChatService.CreateDefaultTextChannels = true

Doesn’t work, causes error

[Pish85 (rip_Zephyr)]

I’m using TextChatService, so I’m pretty sure it’s the new one

Thank you! It worked! Me so happy

Well actually, we don’t have to worry about that, this was merely for testing. However, thanks for the effort!

No worries, basically went off your description. I did just delete a solution, so …
