Hello,

Is it possible to not have Classic Chat, only bubble chat, and somehow hide the bubbles? I want to create a custom chat GUI for my game, but the bubble chats will completely destroy my game's aesthetic, and of course I need to keep the chat bar.

Thank you,
CodeTheorem

Set the chat to false in the Core gui, then just make your custom one, forget the bubble chat

Then the chat bar, the thing required to chat, is taken away.

No, there is no way to completely get rid of the bubbles. The best you can do, or at least the last thing I heard, was that you could re-weld the head far up so as to be outside the viewing distance of the player - whilst they'd still exist, you shouldn't be able to see them.

@Island,
Although that has two big disadvantages.

1) You have the issue of '/' - it doesn't fire the KeyDown event, forcing you to use KeyUp. This is murderous for fast typers, etc.
2) It doesn't have a filter built in, unlike the normal chat. People are able to swear, and you are still able to view what they've said (to a degree)

Well that is true,it still would be better than having that ugly bubble chat..
And couldn't u have a table for "bad" words and use string.find to block them out?
Or something?

@Island,
It's still a lot of unnecessary hassle, unless the chat is vital in your game.

Okay, I was afraid of this. Well, the chat is NOT vital to my game, and not having the bubble chat is. So, I'll keep it the default. Thank you all for your input.
