Need help applying filter to custom chat Gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I have a classic ROBLOX chat GUI and it doesn’t filter when I send cuss words. I don’t wanna get my game taken down! I need help filtering it, AND I need help making it so it doesn’t type “/” when I press / to open it. Here’s the code.

I don’t think you’re supposed to customize Roblox’ chat filter.

3

You would use TextService to filter the text. If you want to make it so that when you press / it doesn’t input that, you would clear the text after the focus of your chat is captured.

4

I tried doing that, it still types “/” in.

5

You should add waits. That is most likely why it won’t go away.

6

You could sub the text if it starts with /
ie.

local msg = "/boop"
if string.sub(msg, 1, 1) == "/" then
    msg = string.sub(msg, 2,-1) -- -1 is the end of the string
end
