StarterGui:SetCore("ChatActive") does nothing

Steven_Scripts · January 28, 2025, 7:53pm

Running StarterGui:SetCore(“ChatActive”, true/false) does not seem to do anything in any place instance. The topbar icon and chat do not update, nor does the value returned from StarterGui:GetCore(“ChatActive”) update.

Expected behavior

The chat window should open or close and the value returned from :GetCore(“ChatActive”) should reflect what was passed through :SetCore(“ChatActive”).

Additional context. I am experiencing this issue too with our game.

ChatActive works fine on Roblox Studio, but does not work in a live game. The expectation is that disabling ChatActive should hide the chat while still allowing the player to reopen the chat if they want to. This happens in Roblox Studio, but never in the live game.

Same problem, not sure when it stopped working but probably when yours did.

This is both Studio and in live games. (for me)

we have the same problem, it doesn’t do anything now

The logic provided for detecting a SetCore is backwards and also doesn’t provide an else statement for setting the chat to be non active.
If your setting the chat to be visible it’ll only show when the local user cannot chat.

Is anybody going to fix this or acknowledge that it is a problem?

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

I am still having this issue and it’s annoying. I thought it was an issue with my mode, but I found it was a bug with Roblox. I am currently using a workaround that disables both the window and textbox. Sadly, this isn’t my desired effect as it doesn’t let the user set the chat active freely, even when disabled by scripts

Sir_Highness · February 17, 2025, 7:23pm

Any update? This is still not working.

Hello, my apologies for the delay. We are currently still working to find the root cause of this issue.

Hey all, just want to let everyone know that the root cause has been found for this bug and we will be rolling a fix out ASAP. We will let you know when the fix has been rolled out to everyone.

It is still not working for me, in studio and in the player. It’s been 7 days, fix the thing already
