Why dont you just attach a 3dText to the player?

instead of sending a chat bubble 1000 times each second, aswell you would need to send a message to make it appear, so i dont think it would even work with a timer and update it.

Well if you want a permanent chat bubble on the top of a player's head use a 3dTextLabel as we told you, its the same as the chat bubble but permanent.

That function you wanna use dissappears because its suposed to handle player's chat messages, not permanent text's over player heads, if you use the timer you will call that function million times while a player is online which is inefficient and makes no sense.

I know! I was used a 3dtext and there is a problem! While any player runing, the 3dtext will move, up or down!

And that is the problem on 3dtext, and I want to use chat bubble becouse the chat bubble didn't move!! Chat bubble is stabilized!

Never experienced such problem with 3dText's, but well if you wanna use it with that function go for it and try it yourself, create a callback (public function, forwarded) that Sets the chat bubble to a player, then call that callback on the timer, a tip as it seems you want it permanent; put a large ammount of miliseconds on the expiretime parameter and the same on the timer, so you avoid unnecesary calls of it.

Its like saying you wanna jump of a plane with no parachute because its annoying and doesnt let you move as you wish.

Read some documentation of timers on the wiki, you will understand how to do it, if you actually read it.
