\n Not working on kick message?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello. I have a kick script, it uses \n to create new lines, I’ve done this before on other scripts/games and it worked fine. I tested in multiple studios trying to figure out why it won’t work at all

Code:

player:Kick("You have been banned for " .. BanTimee .. "days. \n Reason: Cheating.")

(no its not due to the BanTimee variable, I’ve tested other ones that are just words.)

Didn’t work

I had changed it to this (removed a [[]] thinking that was the problem)

but it still didnt add a new line and cut off the rest

#6

Huh, use … instead of ,

What is the BanTimee variable defined as?

#8

Try using string.format

player:Kick(string.format([[
You are banned for cheating!,
Time Left: %s
If you believe this is a false ban appeal at: DISCORD_LINK_HERE
]], Time_Left))
#9

Just a number value, in this case 7.

Sorta works in the output

doesnt work in kick message

#11 
player:Kick(string.format("You have been banned for %c days.\nReason: Cheating.", BanTimee))
#12

Are you sure that it might just ignore single newlines? Try using two.

#13

Tried that too, nothing seems to be working.

#14

Not sure if they changed the API, but I’ve noticed some people have it working just fine, not too sure

#15

I think a devforum regular is going to have to make a bug report on this, it’s happening to me as well.

#16

Ive tried everything to get this working, even:

me:Kick('Line one\10Line Two')

it appears that \n is registering as the kick message, it is just not displaying correctly

Code:

delay(4, function()
	game.Players:GetChildren()[1]:Kick('Line One\10Line Two')
end)
#17

Roblox recently took this functionality out due to an exploit;

#18

Ohhhh okay, thank you. Do you know if this is temporary or permanent?

#19

I assume it’s temporary till they find a proper solution.

#20

Don’t know what I was expecting from Roblox but they still haven’t come up with a proper solution.
Surely it’s not too hard to limit \n to 5 right?

#21

Even easier:

Put the kick message inside a scrollingframe
