[Open Sourced] Custom Bubble Chat

Hey everyone! It’s me, Alphexus. I created a Custom Bubble Chat for a club game I am working on and decided to open source it. This Custom Bubble Chat took me about 3 days. Anyways, have fun using this as a learning tool to improve your scripting, and I would greatly appreciate feedback on the programming as I would love to improve my knowledge.

Notice: If you use this for a game, I would appreciate it if you give me credit. Thanks.

Hey, I’ve tried it out, but the “ChatBubble” doesn’t see to appear at all. Only the text. Perhaps helping me? Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to add the script in the ReplicatedFirst section, what an idiot I am.
Edit2: Still, doesn’t show the Bubble, just the text.

Decided to play around with the Chat for another day. Managed to fix all the bugs that I’ve come across so far with a new message sorting method. Supports multi-line messages too. Now it’s smoother than ever.

Can you try out the game one more time? Since I tried solving the issue by re uploading the images.

Still, doesn’t work. I’ll try and re-add them all.

Should be fixed now. I uploaded the images straight to Roblox as decals.

You should make it so that the typing effect disappears after a couple seconds if the person doesn’t continue typing, otherwise you can just open the chat and go afk and it will seem to another player like you’ve been typing forever.

I really love the design of it, and I’m currently trying to work on a dark mode for it. It’s too bad Roblox doesn’t change the color of the black dots to white though. But other than that, this looks amazing.

You can take this transparent image of a dot I made. I changed the color to white, so you can change the image color to anything on studio.

Lovely contribution to the DevForum Community!

Such a unique asset! I actually love the TypingIndicator. It’s an amazing piece of work. Very cool and VERY unique. I feel if you had enough time you could do an Explainer Video on what caused you to create this and the process. I’m sure a lot of people here would be fascinated to know how you created this.

Thanks for the contribution!

Hey everyone. I added an anti-AFK to the Custom Bubble Chat. Basically, if it doesn’t detect input from the player after 5 seconds, they are AFK. If you keep on typing, it will basically reset the timer.

I also made this Bubble Chat a model. So enjoy.
