So I am making a game for entertainment purposes only. In this game, whenever you chat, the server will spam the message over and over again.
I have two “problems” in the chat:
So if these two problems can be solved, the result would basically mimic the player.
(Note: This is me talking, not the server)
If I cannot do this, please let me know!
This is not what I want. 
I do not want to set extra data, and if I did, I would not have come here (already have like a lot of experience).
Let me explain it more clearly.
In the white, the player (me). I want to get the name color FOR THAT, not using :SetExtraData().
In the red, the message. I want to get the chat color FOR THAT, not using :SetExtraData().

You can then use GetExtraData for the name color, which is the first thing you wanted.
Eventually, you could check out a post that gets the color based on the length of the player’s username.

This didn’t work. The output shows:
yay
nil
when I did this:
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local server = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
repeat wait() until server.ChatServiceRunner
local chatService = require(server.ChatServiceRunner.ChatService)
chatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(User)
local speaker = chatService:GetSpeaker(User)
local plr = players[User]
local data
local success, err = pcall(function()
data = speaker:GetExtraData("NameColor")
end)
if not success and not data then
warn(err)
--print(tostring(data))
else
print('yay')
print(tostring(data))
end
end)
You have to use SetExtraData in order to use GetExtraData.
And please get rid of that repeat loop, it’s not needed.
You don’t need pcall either.
You can do this instead, and then GetExtraData after you’ve set it.
local ScriptService = game:GetService('ServerScriptService')
local ChatService = require(ScriptService.ChatServiceRunner.ChatService)
ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(SpeakerName)
local Speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(SpeakerName)
Speaker:SetExtraData('NameColor', BrickColor.new('Lime green').Color)
Speaker:SetExtraData('ChatColor', BrickColor.new('Really red').Color)
end)
I don’t want to use :SetExtraData() though -_-
I plan on not using :SetExtraData() unless it is the only option.
I thought you wanted to?
As you said earlier: I also want to make the name color and the chat color different
And, I also sent you this earlier if you wanted to get the color based on the username length:
