Chat System For Multiplayer

kittyOwU

I wanted to ask how I would make a chat box where you could type anything so everyone near you can see it. how would I encode this into numbers to send on cloud? Also how would I make a sensoring system similar to the one on roblox. (it sensors gibberish, hurtful speech, and swears)

If anyone can find out how then I think it would be fun to have an rp game with actual chat.

I'll represent this with a “1” and “2” corresponding to the first and 2nd one. Note that this is only allowable if it is restricted to specific pre-chosen phrases and sentences and must follow Terms of Use.
1. See here.
2. There are many methods to this, but I personally use this one:
Temp (list) - List of forbidden words/phrases.
Temp (variable) - String of text to test.
Temp3 - Inappropriateness detected?

Is not allowed, even with a chat filter, because it would be impractical to find every phrase that is bad. There are things that the filter can not pick up like “You should never be able to play this game because you’re Asian!” or something like that. scratch team please do not ban me it was just an random example

Exactly, see this for more on why it is not allowed. Everybody says, but it's safe… there's no way for the ST to know

ok ty for telling me that its against tos but also… would it be allowed to have preset words and then u can tap buttons to combine them into sentence to send? (btw I do know how I would do this)

Well, if it was regulated(each word has it's own small set of other words to use) that would be okay.

Phrase based, white listed words are not ok, you could have something like this. You click on hi and then you can choose ti say hi or friend… see griffpatchs MMOs for example phrases. For encoding, see this tutorial or this project.

In the rules sadly I don't think we are allowed to make an online chat although I am making a project capable of being an online chat.

while you're right that its against the rules, it's surprisingly simple to filter for bad words:

Glad you found an answer! Since this is resolved, I'll close it to help highlight the answer and prevent future responses. If you need it re-opened, though, you can report this and ask.
