You can't edit user's chatbox settings via scripting, but you can create your own chat system tho.

Easiest would be doing a GUI then adding the text. Nothing I can recommend for a beginner though.

You can make simple chatbox in few minutes. You need a table where you store chat content and loop though it:

chatBox = {} 
table.insert(chatBox,'This is test message #1') 
table.insert(chatBox,'This is test message #2') 
table.insert(chatBox,'This is test message #3') 
  
local yval = 0 
for i,v in ipairs(chatBox)do 
 dxDrawText(v,x,y+yval,w,h,....) 
 yval = yval + (h + 1) 
end 

Well hook up onClientChatMessage for content updating with table.remove and table.insert

oh you got me so wrong. im talking about make a table like chatbox. when im writing ex:

outPutTable( "zaa", source, 255,255,255,true) 
outPutTable( "zaa2", source, 255,255,255,true) 
outPutTable( "zaa3", source, 255,255,255,true) 

outPutTable will be like this:

zaa 
zaa2 
zaa3 

and it will be non-visible for a while later. is that possible?

set a timer to remove the event.

although, I still think a GUI would be better.

local memo = guiCreateMemo() 
local sendEdit = guiCreateEdit() 
  
function write() 
    local text = guiGetText(sendEdit) 
    local content = guiGetText(memo) 
    guiSetText(memo, content.."\n"..text 
end

Well i would still advice to do how i said. Just add some params into table like alpha which can be then changed using timers to fade out lines using dx function.
