onChatMessage bugged?

[kaos057]

the server side function onChatMessage does not seem to be sending the right parameter for player/resource. When a regular message is received, the player parameter is nil. When a message is received from team, the player parameter is the team element. Is this supposed to be like this or is it a bug?

theElement: Player element if chatbox output was done via say, teamsay or me. Resource if it was done via outputChatBox.

What version are you using?

I don't think it's bugged, never worked with it either. Not sure about it.

[kaos057]

I'm using 1.3

I don't think its bugged either. I think the Wiki is wrong.

Well, let's wait for someone more experienced.

try this:

    function onConsoleSay ( text ) 
        if isElement(console) then           ---Or if source == console then 
            cancelEvent() 
            outputChatBox("The best console: "..text, root, 0, 255, 0) 
         end 
    end 
      
    addEventHandler("onChatMessage", root, onConsoleSay) 

I got it from this topic: viewtopic.php?f=91&t=42598&p=430495&hilit=onChatMessage#p430495
