you are doing OnClientEvent inside a server script, also

FireAllClients() in a local script? so what you want to do instead is when the player makes an input, send it to the server and have the server do FireAllClients() then in a local script, it will receive this

(also if i’m wrong and this is a local script already, still would not work since it’s in ServerScriptService, add it anywhere in the client side, maybe startergui?)

How do i do this?

#8

You put remote:FireAllClients() in a local script. You need to put it in a regular script instead.`

#9

If I do, it won’t work right?

Because I have the LocalScript in a textbutton which if you click on, it fires.

#10

You don’t use FireAllClients() in a local script. Use FireServer() instead.

#11

So I still use the local script with FireServer in it?

#12

That is correct.

It would be formatted like this:
remote:FireServer()

(Replace “remote” with your RemoteEvent’s name or local variable’s name.

#13

Alright, I’ll try this. I’ll send another message if it doesn’t work.

The remote did fire, which I tested using the print function. It’s just not saying the message in chat.

local PlayerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
local text = PlayerGui.AdminMenu.Fakechat.Message.Text

local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("FakeMessageRE")


remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
		Text = "[System]: " .. text;
		Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255);
		Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansBold;
	})
end)

Is the local script in StarterPlayerScripts?

#16

Nope, it’s still not saying the message in the chat.

#18

Just to clarify, you want to send messages into the system chat as a prank right?

#20

Not really as a prank, I don’t really know what to use it for yet. It might be for like some event that’s only for that server.

#21

I don’t think its possible for you to send messages in system chat, but I know its possible to send automated messages into system chat. Take a look at this video.

#22

I do think that it’s possible. I got it working a few days ago, but it only sent [System] and not the text. and now it doesnt do anything

#23

I think the problem might have something to do with … text after “[System]”

#24

Use RemoteEvent to fire all clients
