You can't send the % symbol in the in-game chat

If you try to send a message that solely contains “%”, you get this error in your chat window:
“You cannot team chat if you are not on a team!”

I wouldn’t say this is really a bug, I typed ‘%’ in chat and my guess is that it’s a shortcut for [Team], because when you click space after it it is replaced with team. Makes sense why that would be returned if you weren’t on one.

i think roblox has /t as well for a shortcut, and since that seems more reasonable (and is easier to type since two lowercase vs one uppercase), I think that they should just remove % since it is misleading & confusing imo.

Yea, don’t understand why % would be used.

Roblox has always had % for team chat, even before Lua chat. Some players might still use % for team chat.


Even with % being for team chat, a message containing only ‘%’ could be sent as a normal chat.

elseif string.sub(message, 1, 2):lower() == "% " or message:lower() == "%" then

could become

elseif string.sub(message, 1, 2):lower() == "% " then
