Well, I'm still trying to find out how to script chat, but as a beginning, I'll ask for help.

Does anyone know if an Alias can be scripted? Example, I go in game, and when I chat, it goes up as "Joe", instead of "Virtualdarks".

Is it possible? If it is, can anyone provide me with the scripts for it?

Also, does anyone know if you can change the name color while chatting?

The ROBLOX Chat system is uneditable, you'd have to make your own.

The only way is to completely remake the chat system and set bubble chat, sorry dude. Roblox doesn't like it when we mess with things like the chat system. ._.

Well. That's rather disappointing.

I wish free models would just have a editible chat system. I seem to never have a good starting place.

Anyone with a link for me to start learning about chat/GUIs?

You'll need 'em.

There is a free model that I know of that is a user-created chat system, however... It's a free model. ._.

Do you remember it's name?

I searched up Custom Chatbox, Chat, Chatbox, Chat box, Talk, et cetera. No avail.

Make the game bubble chat only, and use this.

So, guys. I wrote a script. Ended in failure. Help, please? :D

You're pretty patient. Besides the other guys who helped my script my laptops. THAT project nearly made me quit. :3

Sorry, can't help right now, I'm on my iPod. I'll be back in an hour or so, so I'll help you then. Oh, and, no, I'll help you make it appear on everyone's screen then.

Oh, cool. But I have to go to sleep. Can you PM me? And plus, I solved it!:

Game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
player.PlayerGui.ChatBoxGui.Frame.Text1.Text = player.Name.. ": " ..msg
end)
end)

I just need it for ALL players now.
