[help] onChatMessage does not work at all

[Turbe$Z]

hey, i made a custom chat script, and i want to output every message to that, and i found this event, but does not work... 

i tried it this way:

function onChatMessageHandler(theMessage, thePlayer)
	--outputChatBox(theMessage)
	triggerClientEvent(root,"chat->NewMessage",root,false,theMessage)
end
addEventHandler("onChatMessage", root, onChatMessageHandler)

what wrong, or how to use? there is no errors or warnings, simply just does not trigger the client event

umm this is works with all outputs. but if an output is for only local player on the server side, it will not appear to everyone? or the opposite, if a output for everyone, it will not show only for local player?

You have to select the message, then cancel the event.

what do you mean?

Client:

addEventHandler("onClientChatMessage", root, function()
	if getElementData(source, "chat") == "local" then
		if source ~= getLocalPlayer() then
			cancelEvent()
		end	
	end
end)

Server:

setElementData(player, "chat", "local")
setElementData(player, "chat", "everyone")
