cancelEvent in onPlayerChat

[hemen]

Function cancelevent doesn't works in onplayerchat. this functions sends two messages in chat. what should i do?

function vipMessage( message, messageType ) 
    if PlayerVIP[source] == 1 then 
        if messageType == 0 then 
            local r,g,b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source ) 
            outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( source ) .. ": (VIP) #FFFFFF" .. message, source, r,g,b,true ) 
            cancelEvent() 
            outputServerLog( "CHAT: " .. getPlayerName ( source ).. ": " .. message ) 
            return 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), vipMessage )

You are canceling the event after the outputChatBox function, it won't cancel anything, so use cancelEvent before.

So it will look like

  
function vipMessage( message, messageType ) 
    if PlayerVIP[source] == 1 then 
        if messageType == 0 then 
            cancelEvent() 
            local r,g,b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source ) 
            outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( source ) .. ": (VIP) #FFFFFF" .. message, source,r,g,b,true ) 
            outputServerLog( "CHAT: " .. getPlayerName ( source ).. ": " .. message ) 
            return 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), vipMessage )

freeroam resource is coloring the chat (canceling original one and creating outputChatBox) - disable freeroam or remove these parts about chat coloring. some other resource can do it too - check them all if you are not using freeroam.

Oh, yes that can be a reason too, if you are using freeroam, then have a look in fr_server.lua file.

<!-- play is the default freeroam gamemode. Remove the following line to prevent it from starting. -->        
<resource src="hemengm" startup="1" protected="0"/> 

As you look, there is not freeroam in my server. What about resource "gang" - it's my resource and he doesn't have function onPlayerChat.

i tryed to put function in other places, but it doesn't change the situation.

hemen, moving function through resource won't help you. stop all resources, then start them one by one, searching for this one that is causing troubles. easy.
