How to detect messages

I’m trying to make a script where either a text field shows up or gets a message from chat as soon as they join. Anyone got any ideas on how to help me?

Do you mean as in, when they spawn it sends a message?

If so:

AddEventHandler('playerSpawned', function()
    TriggerEvent('chatMessage', 'Freeroam', {255, 255, 255}, 'Welcome to Freeroam')
end)

Or if you want them to type something when they join:

AddEventHandler('playerSpawned', function()
    example = KeyboardInput("Enter your name", "e.g John Smith", 5)
    TriggerEvent('chatMessage', 'Freeroam', {255, 255, 255}, 'Welcome to Freeroam ' .. example)
end)

function KeyboardInput(TextEntry, ExampleText, MaxStringLenght)

	-- TextEntry		-->	The Text above the typing field in the black square
	-- ExampleText		-->	An Example Text, what it should say in the typing field
	-- MaxStringLenght	-->	Maximum String Lenght

	AddTextEntry('FMMC_KEY_TIP1', TextEntry) --Sets the Text above the typing field in the black square
	DisplayOnscreenKeyboard(1, "FMMC_KEY_TIP1", "", ExampleText, "", "", "", MaxStringLenght) --Actually calls the Keyboard Input
	blockinput = true --Blocks new input while typing if **blockinput** is used

	while UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() ~= 1 and UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() ~= 2 do --While typing is not aborted and not finished, this loop waits
		Citizen.Wait(0)
	end
		
	if UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() ~= 2 then
		local result = GetOnscreenKeyboardResult() --Gets the result of the typing
		Citizen.Wait(500) --Little Time Delay, so the Keyboard won't open again if you press enter to finish the typing
		blockinput = false --This unblocks new Input when typing is done
		return result --Returns the result
	else
		Citizen.Wait(500) --Little Time Delay, so the Keyboard won't open again if you press enter to finish the typing
		blockinput = false --This unblocks new Input when typing is done
		return nil --Returns nil if the typing got aborted
	end
end

Thanks, this will help majorly…

How would you be able to get the result afterwards?

EDIT : ^^ For Example a server password and I want to see the password they have typed. I can’t get what they typed.
