So I am making a roblox game, and when i click this button it is supposed to send the text from the textbox through a remote event and into a script that says it in chat, but it just prints a blank space in chat
Well, we need to see your code to help you. A screenshot of the explorer would also be nice, and if you could record what happens when you click the button, that’d be great.
i made some edits to the topic, also the scripts and a screenshot is below
script 1:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local message = script.Parent.Parent.MessageBox.Text
local npc = script.Parent.Parent.NameBox.Text
for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
player.ChatToShow.Value = message
game.ReplicatedStorage.SendMessage:FireClient(player, npc)
end
end)
script 2:
game.ReplicatedStorage.SendMessage.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playername)
local messagetochat = script.Parent.Parent.ChatToShow.Value
if game.Workspace.NPCS:FindFirstChild(playername) then
game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage",{
Text = `[{playername}]: {messagetochat}`;
Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 1);
})
end
end)
(script 2 is a local script inside of the players player scripts folder)
Ok, so where is ChatToShow in your explorer? And do you get any errors in the output?
I do not get any errors in the output and chat to show automatically adds to every player when they join from a script that has the contexts of this:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local newvalue = Instance.new("StringValue")
newvalue.Name = "ChatToShow"
newvalue.Parent = player
end)
So where is script 1?
oh I forgot to tell you, script one is in the chat button script 2 is in starter player scripts, and the one that adds the values is in serverscriptservices
also the name i type in does exist in the npcs folder in workspace
Script 1 has to be a local script then, a server script won’t work with GUIs
it seems like that did not work.
Hi guys i have fixed the problem, the value changer was a localscript, as i used values so i made the button script a localscript firing a server event and it fixed it.
