VIP Chat Color (Help)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello!

Hi! I am VeloctiyDeveloper. I can build/model, but I have no clue how to script in Roblox lua. I was wondering if anyone knew how to make it so that if you buy a certain gamepass, it gives you a certain chat color. An example of what I’d think it would look like is the VIP gamepass in jailbreak, when if you buy it, you automatically get a yellow chat color.

Heres a picture of what I mean:

Very very very simple!

Like many suggested, we’re going to be using ChatService, capturing the message, and seeing if they own the gamepass.

Put this in ServerScriptService;


--//Services

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local ChatService = require(ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("ChatServiceRunner"):WaitForChild("ChatService"))

--//Variables

local GamePassIDs = {
	VIP = 0, -- your gamepassid
}

--//Events

ChatService.SpeakerAdded:Connect(function(PlayerName)
local Speaker = ChatService:GetSpeaker(PlayerName)
local ActualPlayer = Players:FindFirstChild(PlayerName)
	if MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(ActualPlayer.UserId , GamePassIDs.VIP) then
		Speaker:SetExtraData("ChatColor", Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 0)) --changes textcolor, if you need this.
		Speaker:SetExtraData("Tags", {{
			TagText = "VIP", --As it says, the tagtext
			TagColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 0) --the tagcolor
		}})
	end
end)

You can do a lot more creative things with ChatTags, but this is the basics of it without going too in-depth and changing corescripts ( something you want to avoid doing as a whole )

Best of luck, hopefully you found this useful!

For me the ServerScriptService is coming up as an error:

Not sure why.

Change ServerScriptService to game.ServerScriptService
In addition I created a module if anyone in this feed wants to look at it

Made it go a bit farther to allow badges, chat tags, name color and more!

Or you could of just added another local at the top:

local ServerScriptService = game:getService("ServerScriptService")

That also works :slight_smile:

(I have very little scripting experience)
I know that this was so long ago, but whenever I try to use this, I get this error:
