seems like you took some yourself, judging by "thePlayer" variable that doesn't even exist in your handler function.

Look, this is my first attempt with getElementType. Omg Please help, i dont understand how to get a data from the scoreboard. do i need to call it?

data shown in the scoreboard is taken from element data. so:

  
function idtag(text, msgtype) 
  local tag = getElementData(source, "ID") -- its source, not thePlayer 
  if tag then 
    cancelEvent() 
    local name = getPlayerName(source) 
    outputChatBox("#FF0000["..tag.."] #FFFFFF"..name..": "..text, root, 255, 255, 255, true) 
    outputServerLog(name .. ": " .. text)     
  end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", root, idtag)
