Does anybody use the Social Interaction Module?

I’m just doing the basics with it, nothing special. But the chat animations just don’t work.
The module is working as the head and torso turns.

Any idea what could be the issue? Did other manage to get it working?

Thanks in advance!

The Social Interaction Module works for me, and I’m able to set custom trigger words and animations. It works with the old LegacyChatService setting.

BUT it seems the chat animations don’t work with the new TextChatService from what I’ve tried. The body orientation feature works though. Did you find a fix?

Sounds like you have the same issue.

No solution has been found. (Honestly I did not bother experimenting more with it, just removed it from my game for now as I did not really need this functionality anyway.)
I’ll try adding it again, later when I have time to make a hangout place.

This issue still exists. Based on other replies to this thread, it’s likely due to the new chat system. Please fix this.

in the process to switching my games chat from legacy to textchatservice, it would be helpful if roblox could fix this module so it works with the newer chat system

I figured out the problem with the Roblox Social Interactions module and textchatservice.

So, to fix this module in your game,
In the ChatEmotes module…
Replace the commented out line below with the following 3 lines:

		--chattedConnection = Players.LocalPlayer.Chatted:Connect(onChatted)
		chattedConnection = game.TextChatService.SendingMessage:Connect(function(TextChatMessage)
			onChatted(TextChatMessage.Text)
		end)

In my version is it here(line number reference):

The cause of this issue is the fact that player.Chatted does not fire in the localscript context. It only fires in ‘serverscript’.

So, to fix it, I used TextChatService.SendingMessage to grab the message from the localplayer and feed the onChatted function the message.
