TextChatCommand doesn't run?

[notsad2 (nots7d)]

I’m working on a votekick command (disaster), and uh, the entire code doesn’t run for some reason

local rStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local tChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

-- Folders;
local events = rStorage:WaitForChild("Events")
local toClient = events:WaitForChild("ToClient")
local votekickUI = toClient:WaitForChild("VotekickUI")

-- Events;
local failedVotekickMessage = votekickUI.FailedVotekickMessage


local votekickCommand = tChatService:WaitForChild("Votekick")
local players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Get players;
local function GetPlayers()
	local playerList = {}
	
	for _,plr in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
		if not table.find(playerList, plr.Name) then
			table.insert(playerList, plr.Name)
		end
	end
	
	return playerList
end

-- Once command gets triggered;
local function OnCommandTriggered(origin: Player, unfilteredText: string)
	local playerList = GetPlayers()
	
	local args = string.split(unfilteredText, " ")
	local playerName = args[2]
		
	if playerName and table.find(playerList, playerName) then
		
	else
		print("Failed votekick, the provided player does not exist, or player wasn't provided at all.")
		
		local message = "The player you've provided does not exist or you didn't provide a player at all. Please double check if the player exists and the player's username."		
		failedVotekickMessage:FireClient(origin, message)
	end
end

votekickCommand.Triggered:Connect(OnCommandTriggered)

and this is (dora) the explorer:

What exactly doesn’t work. Is the function not firing? Put some print statements and see what happens when the function is triggered.

no like, legit the entire code doesn’t run

I don’t think you need to put it in the textchatservice. I think you need to put it in server script service. And try something like this.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		if msg == "/votekick" and player then
		print("Voting Started")
		end
	end)
end)

ohhhhh

it DOES have to be in serverscriptservice

OOPS
