The current thread cannot call 'Chat' (lacking capability Plugin)

[targetframed (target)]

hello! im trying to get more familiar w module scripts but it keeps throwing me this error. ty

module:

local distancekillModule = {}

function distancekillModule.playerAdded(plr:Player)
local plrs:Players = game:GetService("Players")
plrs:Chat("heello!")
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(distancekillModule.playerAdded)

return distancekillModule

script:

local module = require(script.distancekillModule)

module.playerAdded()

Your script is fine, its just that Players:Chat() doesn’t work because, Players is the storage of all the player instances and calling Chat doesn’t make sense, since your basically telling the player storage to chat?

that function is corescript only (idk why plugins can call it)
use TCS SendMessage or the remote events if not TCS

sorry im not sure what u mean by TCS. wdym? ty 4 ur response btw!

[targetframed (target)]

hello! ty 4 ur reply. yes thats very valuable information. what im trying to do is when a player joins, i want them to say something if that makes sense. i tried Chat:chat(Character.Head, "hello") something like that but i cant get it to work tbh

TextChatService,
there should be some channel things under, you should study the documentation though

[targetframed (target)]

ah yes ty!

i tried putting in the displaybubble feature but its not displaying tbh. thought i had to put a wait but nope.

function distancekillModule.playerAdded3()
	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
		plr.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(char)
			wait(2)
			if plr.UserId == 64032380 or plr.Name == "targetframed" then
				print("check complete, "..plr.Name.. " has joined the server")
				local tcs:TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")
				tcs:DisplayBubble(char.Head, "hello lol")
			end
		end)
	end)
end

The code needs to run on the client for displaybubble to work
