Chat replies are repeated

[Mossy]

Hello. I have a race server and whenever I type something in the chat it repeats itself. Like for example if I say Hi, it will look like I said Hi twice. Scripting error or should I re-download the race resource? Thanks in advance.

You must have more than one resource that is used to chat.

You must have more than one resource that is used to chat.

I thought that too cause when I change my resolution they're all listed twice. I must have duplicated some files. Do you know where the chat file is located?

Have you tried to do something related to onPlayerChat recently?

Mostly, this is caused from resource "Freeroam", but since you're using "race" there are two possibilities:

1- You were test your scripts in your lan server and Freeroam was running.

2- You have other resource has event onPlayerChat and whenever you say anything in the chat it will outputChatBox without cancelEvent and because this you will see it twice.

Figured out what resource caused it. Here's a portion of the script with the onPlayerChat function:

--- Chat & Name Color 
function chatNameColor(message,messageType) 
 local color = getElementData (source, "info.namecolor") 
 local color2 = getElementData(source, "info.chatcolor") 
 local serial = getPlayerSerial(source) 
 local playername = getPlayerName(source) 
 if (color) and (color2) then 
 outputChatBox(color..playername..": "..color2..message,getRootElement(),0,0,0,true) 
 executeSQLUpdate ( "Colors", "Ncolor = '"..color.."'","serial = '" .. serial .. "'") 
 executeSQLUpdate ( "Colors", "Ccolor = '"..color2.."'","serial = '" .. serial .. "'") 
 else 
 outputChatBox(playername..": "..message,getRootElement(),255,255,255,true) 
 end 
 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",getRootElement(),chatNameColor)  
  
 function cancel() 
 cancelEvent() 
 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",getRootElement(),cancel) 
 --- Cash !Command 
 function PubMoney(message,messageType) 
 if message == "!money" or message == "!cash" or message =="!Money" or message == "!Cash" then 
 local serial = getPlayerSerial(source) 
 local Money = executeSQLSelect ( "MoneyB", "Money","serial = '" .. serial .. "'") 
 local name = getPlayerName(source) 
 outputChatBox(name.." has $"..tonumber(Money[1]["Money"]),getRootElement(),255,255,0,true) 
 end 
 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",getRootElement(),PubMoney)

here, try this:

--- Chat & Name Color 
function chatNameColor(message) 
if string.find(message,"!",1,true) then return end 
 local color = getElementData (source, "info.namecolor") 
 local color2 = getElementData(source, "info.chatcolor") 
 local playername = getPlayerName(source) 
 if (color) and (color2) then 
 local serial = getPlayerSerial(source) 
 outputChatBox(color..""..playername..": "..color2..""..message,root,0,0,0,true) 
 executeSQLUpdate ( "Colors", "Ncolor = '"..color.."'","serial = '" .. serial .. "'") 
 executeSQLUpdate ( "Colors", "Ccolor = '"..color2.."'","serial = '" .. serial .. "'") 
 else 
 outputChatBox(playername..": "..message,getRootElement(),255,255,255,true) 
 end 
 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",getRootElement(),chatNameColor) 
  
 function cancel() 
 cancelEvent() 
 end 
 addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",getRootElement(),cancel) 
 --- Cash !Command 
function PubMoney(message) 
    if not string.find(message,"!",1,true) then return end 
    message = string.lower(message) 
    if message == "!money" or message == "!cash" then 
        local serial = getPlayerSerial(source) 
        local Money = executeSQLSelect ( "MoneyB", "Money","serial = '" .. serial .. "'") 
        local name = getPlayerName(source) 
        outputChatBox(name.." has $"..tonumber(Money[1]["Money"]),getRootElement(),255,255,0,true) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",getRootElement(),PubMoney)

Didn't work.

I'll run the debug now. But it just repeated again.

Hey your script worked. Thanks!
