There's already a typing emitter that shows ABC's around someone who starts to talk.

not that kind of chat one that is where like whenever they start typing something it shows up a white thing and a black outline and it shows them typing something

Yeah, I get what you're saying, I might try to work on this and see what I can do.

You can't do that because the server doesn't know what clients are typing until they send the message.

There is not.
Well there is a way, you could make a client add-on to send what the client is chatting to the server.

Fine. Reword: there is no sane way.

Good luck convincing clients to download a client sided add-on to show a useless speech bubble on some server that shows all their typos to everyone.

I was just planning on making a bubble appear over people who are typing, not put what they are typing in it.

it shows Up what they are typing


but making it without the typing thing and only the sent message would work, right?
