[Help] onPlayerChat

[Bilal135]

This is the code taken from 'onPlayerChat' event's wiki page (1st example). It is supposed to convert main chat to local chat, so it disables whatever we write by pressing T and instead makes it appear for nearby players in a new message. But it is making both appear. Any help regarding this?

-- define our chat radius
local chatRadius = 20 --units

-- define a handler that will distribute the message to all nearby players
function sendMessageToNearbyPlayers( message, messageType )
    -- we will only send normal chat messages, action and team types will be ignored
    if messageType == 0 then
        -- get the chatting player's position
        local posX, posY, posZ = getElementPosition( source )
        
        -- create a sphere of the specified radius in that position
        local chatSphere = createColSphere( posX, posY, posZ, chatRadius )
        -- get a table all player elements inside it
        local nearbyPlayers = getElementsWithinColShape( chatSphere, "player" )
        -- and destroy the sphere, since we're done with it
        destroyElement( chatSphere )
        
        -- deliver the message to each player in that table
        for index, nearbyPlayer in ipairs( nearbyPlayers ) do
            outputChatBox( message, nearbyPlayer )
        end
    end
end
-- attach our new chat handler to onPlayerChat
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), sendMessageToNearbyPlayers )

-- define another handler function that cancels the event so that the message won't be delivered through the 
function blockChatMessage()
    cancelEvent()
end
-- attach it as a handler to onPlayerChat
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), blockChatMessage )

cancelEvent() won't cancel any other event handles of onPlayerChat. Check if another resource is cancelling and giving own output onPlayerChat is running -- of the default resources, freeroam and playercolors are the most common offenders of this.
