Chat
PluginSecurity
This member cannot be used in scripts, but is usable in the command bar and plugins.
Unsafe
For thread safety, this property is not safe to read in an unsynchronized thread.
This function makes the local player chat the given message. Since this item is protected, attempting to use it in a Script or LocalScript will cause an error.
Instead, when creating a custom chat system, or a system that needs access to the chat, you can use the Chat service’s Chat/Chat function instead.

Code Samples
Players:Chat
This example demonstrates that the Players/Chat function executes without error if using the Command Bar or a Plugin (assuming the local player can chat freely) and errors if executed in a Script.
