Text chat service does not replicate in real game

Hello! I hope you are doing well. This is not a scripting issue I just did not know where else to put this. The chat window configurations do not replicate in a real game, I am not sure if this is a bug or I am doing something incorrect but I need some help. Below I will attach a video showing the issue.

– This is how the chat looks inside of studio

– This is how the chat looks inside of regular Roblox

I am most likely doing something wrong but I am just changing ChatWindowConfiguration inside of TextChatService and the only thing that changes is the position. Any help would be great!!

I have also tried hard coding it and its the exact same outcome.

Can you show how you have hard-coded it and what methods you used?

#4

Yeah sure,

--//Services
local textChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

--//Variables
local windowConfig = textChatService.ChatWindowConfiguration


--//Functions
local function updateWindow()
	windowConfig.BackgroundTransparency = 1
	windowConfig.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255, 321)
	windowConfig.VerticalAlignment = Enum.VerticalAlignment.Bottom
end


--//Signals
updateWindow()

And yes this is in a local script

Could the issue be related to Color3.new(255, 255, 321)? First, 321 exceeds the valid range of 0-255, and second, Color3.new expects values between 0 and 1, not 0-255. If you want to use RGB values from 0-255, you should use Color3.fromRGB, ensuring all numbers stay within 0-255.

(still might not be the actual issue though)

Alrighty yeah let me check that real quick

Nope, even when I remove the line it still has the same outcome. And like in the videos, there was no code, just changing properties but it still wouldn’t work.

#8

alright, I’ll try to reproduce this and fix the issue.

#9

Alrighty thank you. I am clueless lol.

Yo! I actually just figured it out. It was a setting, inside of the players setting in game there is a setting called Background Transparency and I had it all the way up.

But this means the script is not overriding the setting, don’t you want it to do that?

#12

I do, were you able to figure it out?

#13

Still working on it lol, hopefully soon but nice job finding a temporary fix

Cool thanks again, I hope there is a way to fix this.

#15

The transparency seems to be locked behind the property PreferredTransparency, controlled by the setting you found. This is a read-only property meaning that it can’t be modified by scripts, so I don’t think there would be a way to change it.

#16

Ah I see, so the only way to have a complete transparent chat system is making my own.

#17

I would assume so, sadly. I’ll post if I find any new info.
