New Player Joined Script Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I asked the assistant in Roblox Studio this: “Write me a script so when you join the Roblox game, the server says in-game chat that the user has joined the server.”
It then gave me this script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Function to announce when a player joins
local function announceJoin(player)
    -- Use the Chat service to send a message to all players in the game
    game:GetService("Chat"):BroadcastMessage(player.Name .. " has joined the game!", Enum.ChatColor.Blue)
end

-- Connect the announceJoin function to the PlayerAdded event
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(announceJoin)

-- Iterate through all existing players and announce them (in case the script is reloaded)
for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    announceJoin(player)
end

It put it in ServerScriptService as AnnouncePlayerJoin, I then joined the game but nothing happened. Nothing showed up in game chat, so I checked the dev console and it said:

If you know what is wrong with the script please let me know!

I’ve changed your announceJoin function because Chat:BroadcastMessage() is not a function that exists.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Function to announce when a player joins
local function announceJoin(player)
    -- Use the Chat service to send a message to all players in the game
    game.TextChatService.TextChannels.RBXGeneral:DisplaySystemMessage(player.Name .. " has joined the game!")
end

-- Connect the announceJoin function to the PlayerAdded event
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(announceJoin)

-- Iterate through all existing players and announce them (in case the script is reloaded)
for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    announceJoin(player)
end

I put this into the script, but still does not seem to work. Just to make sure, does this have to be a script or a localscript? Right now its just a script in serverscriptservice

Localscript, put it in StarterPlayerScripts

#5

I have put it into a localscript and in StarterPlayerScripts. I have checked in the dev console for any errors and there are none, but noting still shows up in chat

#6

That’s probably because the script is initialized after your player joins, try to test using team test or the multiple player sessions.

I also joined the game from Roblox and nothing still shows up. (I also have the game private as its a test place but I don’t know if that would make it so this would not work.)
