new chat type

[AHSS]

is there a way to make a new chat type like this:

bindKey(player, 'l', 'chatbox', 'Localchat') 

and then script what happens when the player types in the chat and press enter is this possible?

thanks in advance

If I recall correctly, you have to use addCommandHandler to bind "Localchat" to a function. From that function, you can create a new 'chat type'.

[AHSS]

Can you explain more please?

Perhaps give me an example?

thanks.

Hey, I have wrote you a code, Not tested but works hopefully....

You said new chat type, So ive created a local one... I think thats what u mean...

chat_range=100 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
function () 
bindKey(source,"U","down","chatbox","Local") 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function () 
for index, player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
bindKey(player,"U","down","chatbox","Local") 
  end 
end) 
  
function isPlayerInRangeOfPoint(player,x,y,z,range) 
   local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(player) 
   return ((x-px)^2+(y-py)^2+(z-pz)^2)^0.5<=range 
end 
  
function onChat(player,i,...) 
  local px,py,pz=getElementPosition(player) 
  local nick=getPlayerName(player) 
  local msg = table.concat({...}, " ") 
  for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
    if isPlayerInRangeOfPoint(v,px,py,pz,chat_range) then 
      outputChatBox("(local)"..nick..": #ffffff"..msg,v,255,255,255,true) 
    end 
  end 
end 
addCommandHandler("Local",onChat)

will brigga, is it chat which show msg for nearly players, is it not?

[Castillo]

What will briggs posted is an script from another topic, and yes, it should be to chat with nearly players only.

[will briggs]

Ok, Yeah i presumed from the title you wanted a local chat and your code example... Sorry im only trying to help

EDIT : Castillo you left SANL?

[Castillo]

I'm not saying that's wrong, you helped him doing that (in my opinion).

And, no, I didn't left SANL.

and I have one question about scripting chat: is it possible to make upper script like this it can be detected as normal chat? I think about it's detected by eg. onPlayerChat handler.

[will briggs]

What? What is this?

[Chlorek]

will, I mean is it possible to make new chat which is same as standardly chat (abilty to write cmds by using slash etc).

[will briggs]
