Roblox Chat Not Showing?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Where is the chat?!??!?

I haven’t disabled chat myself. When I search all the scripts in the game for :SetCoreGuiEnabled, you can see that I only disable the PlayerList. image
Chat actually works fine up until the point when I load the characters. Once I load the characters, it disappears. I checked the PlayerScripts to see if the chat script got deleted, but it’s still there. Maybe it’s the way I’m loading the characters? I load one character by using LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription and I load the other one by setting the player’s character.

I thought that only SetCoreGuiEnabled and TopbarEnabled controls whether the chat shows, but there seems to be a third thing.

Note: CharacterAutoLoads = false

Go to chat properties and go to “LoadDefaultChat” set it to true. if it’s true search on all scripts that, else you will have to make a new place, join it, copy the chat script or every children of chat, and move it to your game workspace.

Is any of the screen GUIs that you use have a display order bigger or equal to 6? If so, it will overlap the chat.

LoadDefaultChat is true

@VegetationBush Nothing is overlapping it.

Is it possible you have a potential virus/backdoor? Try checking for getfenv instead. Also @VegetationBush it is impossible for regular GUIs to overlap CoreGuis.

edit: ok, chat, but not other elements i dont think then

I’ve tested it out, it’s actually possible to cover the chat but not the topbar.

Is LoadDefaultChat set to true? If its false, make it true.

Find this in Roblox Studio(Dont click play) under the Chat properties.

More information here: Chat | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Nothing showed for getfenv. The only free models I’ve inserted are skyboxes and I’ve disabled all my plugins with no change.

just use a custom chat if your having too many issues easy fix!

#10 
local function toggleUI(class)
	for _, gui in pairs(PLR_GUI:GetChildren()) do
		if gui:IsA("ScreenGui") then
			if string.find(gui.Name, class) then
				gui.Enabled = true
			else
				gui.Enabled = false
			end
		end
	end
end

This is the cause of the problem. I am a smol brain noob. I think most of my scripting support posts are me trying to fix problems that I’ve created xd

This script disabled Roblox’s screen guis, not just mine.
