-- This script will change the color of chat messages based on the player's stage and badges.
- If the player's stage is between 5 and 9, the chat message will be green.
- If the player's stage is between 10 and 14, the chat message will be blue.
- If the player's stage is 15 or higher, the chat message will be purple.

- If the player has between 3 and 5 badges, the chat message will be orange.
- If the player has between 6 and 8 badges, the chat message will be red.
- If the player has 9 or more badges, the chat message will be gold.

To use this script, make sure you have leaderstats set up for your players with 'Stage' and 'Badges' as IntValue objects. Then, place this script in ServerScriptService. The script will automatically handle chat messages and change their color based on the player's stage and badges.
