events.Mute.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,PlayerToMute)
	if game.TextChatService.ChatVersion == Enum.ChatVersion.LegacyChatService then
		local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner"):WaitForChild ("ChatService"))
		local channel = ChatService:GetChannel("ALL")

		channel:MuteSpeaker()

	elseif game.TextChatService.ChatVersion == Enum.ChatVersion.TextChatService then
		local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

		local function muteUserId(mutedUserId)
			TextChatService.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(child)
				if child:IsA("TextSource") then
					if child.UserId == mutedUserId then
						child.CanSend = false
					end
				end
			end)

			for _, child in TextChatService:GetDescendants() do
				if child:IsA("TextSource") then
					if child.UserId == mutedUserId then
						child.CanSend = false
					end
				end
			end
		end
		muteUserId(PlayerToMute.UserId)
	end	
end)
Summary

The mute system doesnt mute the player and doesnt give any sort of error not even a warning, the code was found on the devforum.

Alright i have to go now so i will reply to the post left.

How to fling a player?

I haven’t used ChatService before, but I think the problem might lie within line 8.

I’m not sure why the channel is muted and immediately unmuted, so try removing the line which unmutes.

#4

that isnt an issue but i am using TextChatService in the video.

#5

the reason why it isnt a issue is because it was for testing.

@ThatOneNoobOnTheTeam When i switch the chat version i get this error from the roblox chat service

  16:33:09.285  ServerScriptService.ChatServiceRunner.ChatService:171: attempt to index nil with 'lower'  -  Server - ChatService:171

- :warning: Important Notes :

• LegacyChatVersion mutes speakers by displaying text that their muted everytime they attempt to chat. Using ChatService you can mute someone using

ChatService:GetChannel(“ALL”):MuteSpeaker(“PLAYER NAME”)

‎
• TextChatService mutes speakers by allowing the speaker to talk but not display on any other client without warning.

TextChatService.TextChannels.RBXGeneral[“PLAYER NAME”].CanSend = false
