I was making custom chat system and I faced this "bug". just textbox returns "", not nil. and there is no any error. even without
string.len(script.Parent.Parent.message.Text) > 0
"if" part.
local db = false
local TextService = game:GetService("TextService")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function ()
local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local dn = plr.Character.Humanoid.DisplayName
local muted = script.Parent.muted.Value
local mod = script.Parent.moderator.Value
if db == false and muted == false and string.len(script.Parent.Parent.message.Text) > 0 then
db = true
local ts = 16
local msg = script.Parent.Parent.chat.message0:Clone()
--problem line
msg.messageContent.Text = TextService:FilterStringAsync(script.Parent.Parent.message.Text, plr.UserId, "2")
if string.len(script.Parent.Parent.message.Text) > 130 then
ts = 14
end
msg.messageContent.TextSize = ts
--problem ends
local ps = msg.prefixes
ps.bot.Visible = false
local counter = game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatBlockStorage.counter.Value
msg.Name = "message" .. counter
msg.actualName.Text = "@" .. plr.Name
msg.displayName.Text = dn
msg.icon.Image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(plr.UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
msg.icon.ResampleMode = "Default"
if script.Parent.Parent.message.customIcon.locked.Visible == false then
msg.icon.Image = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. script.Parent.Parent.message.customIcon.Text
end
if msg.Name == "message1" then
mod = true
end
if mod == true then
ps.mod.Visible = true
end
counter += 1
script.Parent.Parent.message.Text = ""
wait(game.ReplicatedStorage.ChatBlockStorage.waitTime.Value)
db = false
end
end)
any ideas how to fix it?
script.Parent.Parent.message.Text = ""
so I cannot make sense of your post. why do you expect something else but""
