TextChatService message duplication

[DenNEXTon (Big_Floppa)]

Hello, I’ve been encountering issue with duplication of chat message in text chat (it doesn’t affects bubble chat)

When I’m trying to send a message, it duplicates it when my script should replace it instead

  -- Chat
  
local Users = require(ReplicatedStorage.Modules:WaitForChild("GameManager").Users)

TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message: TextChatMessage)
  local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
  
  if message.TextSource then
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(message.TextSource.UserId)
    
    -- checks if user is in table
    if Users[player.UserId] then
      properties.PrefixText = "<font color='" .. Users[player.UserId].RankColor .. "'>" .. Users[player.UserId].Rank .. "</font> " .. message.PrefixText .. "<font color='" .. Users[player.UserId].RankTextColor .. "'>  " .. message.Text .. "</font>"
    end
    print(message.PrefixText .. message.Text)
  end
  
  return properties
end

How can I fix this?

If I’m not clear enough - I’m trying to change text color of the player, and I achieved it, but it also sends original message too, I can’t understand what should I even do to prevent it

you probably repeat it somewhere, or it does not change property fully

[DenNEXTon (Big_Floppa)]

I didn’t repeat it, probably it doesn’t change property fully, but my question is how do I remove the duplication (after edited message)

[SaleMales]

I’m not sure since I never had that problem (I was making prefix before name only)

[DenNEXTon (Big_Floppa)]

I used to only make prefix (rank) before name too, but I wanted to try making rank text color, I didn’t succeed with that as you see

Let me find it and I will send you

I have a modules inside of script that handles chat prefixes, it returns this
Name of module is group rank

return {
    Color = "#0000ff",
    Name = "Tester"
}

And how I add prefix to player’s name

TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message)
    if not message.TextSource then return end
    local newMessageProperties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")

    local User = message.TextSource.UserId
    local Player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(User)
    
-- I dont think you need vip one
    --[[local OwnsVip = CheckOwnedGamepass(Player, 860504971)
    if OwnsVip then
        newMessageProperties.PrefixText = "<font color = '".. AllTags["VIP"]["Color"] .."'>[".. AllTags["VIP"]["Name"] .."] </font>" .. message.PrefixText
    end]]

    local PlrGroupRank = tostring(Player:GetRankInGroup(34319502))
    if AllTags[PlrGroupRank] then
        newMessageProperties.PrefixText = "<font color = '".. AllTags[PlrGroupRank]["Color"] .."'>[".. AllTags[PlrGroupRank]["Name"] .."] </font>" .. message.PrefixText
    end

    return newMessageProperties
end

AllTags is table containing all modules inside this script (I mentioned how they look above and their name too)

[DenNEXTon (Big_Floppa)]

Your script affects only what is before message (prefix), and doesn’t touch the part of the message itself, I guess my best I can do is just not to color the message

[SaleMales]

I just dont understand what you want, but you can make thing based off this

Roblox’s AI generated the name color change, which was PrefixText
I changed it to Text and it works

local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

TextChatService.OnIncomingMessage = function(message)
	local properties = Instance.new("TextChatMessageProperties")
	properties.Text = "<font color='#00ff00'>["..message.Text.."]</font>"
	return properties
end

You can remove the [ and ] if you want
I’m still not sure if this what you wanted

WAIT, I JUST REALIZED MY MISTAKE
Thank you so much for pointing out on properties.Text feature, I’ve been trying to use properties.PrefixText all time
