Rainbow chat tag not working

LuaCoold · December 31, 2021, 12:48am

Hey! I tried a lot of different methods to make a rainbow chat tag, even on YouTube and DevForum, none of them worked. This is the current script I am trying and I’m having trouble with it.

				local tags = {
					{
						TagText = "🔨Owner", -- Tag
						TagColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 4) -- VIP Color
					}
				}

				local ChatService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner").ChatService)
				local speaker = nil
				while speaker == nil do
					speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(player.Name)
					if speaker ~= nil then break end
					wait(0.01)
				end
				speaker:SetExtraData("Tags",tags)
				speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor",Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 4)) -- Text Color
				speaker:SetExtraData("Font",26)
			    speaker:SetExtraData("NameColor",Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 4))
			
			----------------------------------------------------
			local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

			local part = tags.TagColor

			local tweenInfoColor = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0, false, 0)```

			while wait(.001) do
				local randomColor = Color3.fromRGB( math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255), math.random(1, 255) )

				local tween = TweenService:Create(part, tweenInfoColor, {Color = randomColor  })
				tween:Play()

			end

In dev console it prints “TweenService:Create failed because Instance is null”. If anyone knows how to fix this or make something like this, please help me

You cannot tween that directly, nor is it going to update in live-time if you’re expecting that.

You could create a Color3Value and tween it, and change the tag color every time it changes?
You could use my Chat+ module that got unlisted for some reason and do something like this

local chatPlus = require(...) -- path here
local owners = {
	[649136643] = true
}

local ownerTag = chatPlus:newTag({
	["rainbow"] = true,
	["tagText"] = "🔨Owner",
	["tagColor"] = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,0)
})

chatPlus:onPlayer(function(player)
	if owners[player.UserId] then
		ownerTag:assign(player)
	end
end)

Result:
