How would I send a message to a certain user via the chat system? In my admin command system, I would like to send a red warning message if a player does not have the right amount of arguments in their command or the player does not exist.
function throwError(player, reason)
if reason == 1 then
reason = "User does not exist/multiple users exist"
elseif reason == 2 then
reason = "Not enough arguments"
end
end
-- commands
commands.to = function(mod, args)
if args[1] then
local subject = getPlayer(args[1])
if subject then
-- teleport them to the subject
else
throwError(mod, 1)
end
else
throwError(mod, 2)
end
end
In throwError(), I would like it to send reason to the player in red text.
Use this to check if the player exists:
for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if plr = subject then
--The command you want
else
throwError(mod, 1)
do
end
btw im assuming the subject is the requested player
This is not my full code. I am getting the args before running the command function, and getting the player in the getPlayer function. My question is as follows: how do I send a message to a specific player from the server.
Fire a remote event to the client with the error message and use StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", configTable)
You can see the format options for configTable here StarterGui:SetCore under ChatMakeSystemMessage.
If you’re using the new TextChatService, you can send a remote event to the client with the error message and call :DisplaySystemMessage(systemMessage) on a text channel. You can use rich text tags in the error message to display the color.

Do you want it some certain GUI to appear on the targeted player’s screen?
I was pretty clear of what I wanted, I now have the solution though, thank you for your help.
