Player.Chatted Does Not Fire

[BaconKral (Kara)]

I’ve been trying to split a message which was sent by the script’s local player into args, but the function Chatted doesn’t even fire.

My script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Player = Players.LocalPlayer


function Chatted(Msg)
	
	local Args = string.split(Msg," ")
	
	print(Args)
end

Player.Chatted:Connect(Chatted)

NOTE: I tried adding print() before defining the function, it worked (which means the script is active). But somehow, the function still does not fire.

Are you using a Local script? For chatted events to work properly, you need to use server scripts. Not on the client.

Heres an example of the code.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

function Chatted(Message)
	local Args = string.split(Message, " ")
	
	print(Args)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.Chatted:Connect(Chatted)
end)

NOTE: make sure the server script is parented to ServerScriptService.

Ah yes, I noticed that it works on server scripts only litlte ago aswell, thank you for your reply.
