Trying to delete a message

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My current script is

local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(speaker, recipient, message)
		if string.sub(message, 1, 1) == ":" then
			Chat:RegisterChatCallback("OnServerReceivingMessage", function(message)
				message.ShouldDeliver = false 
				return message
			end)
		end
	end)
end)
#2

Any errors that appear? An error would help to solve this.

#3

invalid argument #1 to ‘sub’ (string expected, got nil)

#4

RegisterChatCallback needs to be made before the Chatted event as the chatted event is called:

local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")
Chat:RegisterChatCallback("OnServerReceivingMessage", function(message)
	if string.sub(message.Message, 1, 1) == ":" then
		message.ShouldDeliver = false 
		return message
	end
end)
How do I delete any chat message containing a "/"
#5

Thanks, also do u know how to make it so I can send a message to the layer client sided. (so other people won’t see it. only the person who sent the message)

#6

You can mess around with the In-Experience Text Chat | Roblox Creator Documentation, there are a lot of functions for doing different things.

#7

How do I use this? :confused: :confused:

#8

There are many tutorials however it seems to use ChatService (the same that you’ve been using)

#9

But do they send message client sided?

#10

You can send them to their own channel so they only see their own messages.

#11

Like system?

Yes, or you can create their own via :AddChannel()

This is all very confusing. I will just stick to the original code. Lol.
