Script isn't printing anything in the console

There is a team in my game where they are forced to use TeamChat, and I want to delete the messages they send if they aren’t sent in the teamchat channel.

It hasn’t been working so i tried using print() to find the errors, but nothing appears in the console

Here’s the script:

local Channels = TextChatService:WaitForChild("TextChannels"):GetChildren()

for _, Channel in pairs(Channels) do
	print(Channel.Name)
	Channel.ShouldDeliverCallback = function(message, messageSource)
		-- If message has a source
		if message.TextSource then
			local sender = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(messageSource.UserId)
			-- Get the player that sent the message
			if sender then
				print(sender.Name)
				-- Check if the player is in the forced team
				if sender.Team.Name == forcedTeam.Name then
					print(sender.Name.."'s team has forced teamchat")

					if Channel.Name ~= "RBXTeamReally red" then
						print("message not sent in teamchat. returning false")
						return false
					end
				end
				print("message returning true")
				return true
			end
		end
	end
end

print(Channel.Name) works, but the others don’t

That means that the print statements inside your ShouldDeliverCallback function are not firing. So perhaps the function is not being called at all? Try using a print statement straight after the function is being used print("Call-back activated") to see if that works. If that works, then perhaps messageSource is not being obtained or used properly, messageSource.UserId may be nill or invalid preventing the rest of your code from executing. Go line by line and make sure each line works.

So I pasted the script into a blank baseplate, and it worked.

So it turns out that my localscript that dealt with chat on the localside was affecting the function

Where did you have the local script positioned (what is the highest class that it’s contained in, e.g. workspace, StarterGui, ServerStorage, ReplicatedStorage etc.)?

Local scripts can only run in specific places, so it’s possible that the script is in a place that it can’t be run, hence no print statements and the code doesn’t function.

I put the localscript in StarterPlayerScripts
