Are you kidding me? You start off at the first line, unless you want to start at the second line.

Dude, not funny -.-. I don't know where to start the chat script off. Do I start with a function or something? If so, how.

Dude, I don't know how you start, I'm guessing you start with a "something", I don't know how you do that.

You would start by creating a table to store everything anyone says.

game.Workspace.ChatHistory.Chat1.Changed, change the G.U.I text

LocalPlayer.Chatted, set to chat 1 is chat 5 isn't

If you want us to make you the whole script, just tell us. Basically the thing is is that this forum is called scripting helpers, not script makers. So they did just help you, it would help me to start off. But if you have no idea about scripting, well, we won't make you complicated scripts from scratch. We can give you an example of a function and a table and such, but we won't write a few hundred lines of code for you.

Sorry.

player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)

end)

Where "msg" is the Message the player chatted, and "player" is the player who is talking.

Yes, and example would be nice. Plus I didn't want them to make the entire script I just needed help starting it off.

@1waffle1

GUI is an acronym, unlike lua.

GUI stands for graphical user interface.

Nobody says "B.R.B." or "L.O.L." or "R.O.F.L." Don't say "G.U.I."
