I wanna make some login text and wanna ask how it is possible to show global chat for all the players except the logging player

You can toggle a player's chatbox using showChat, if I understood your question.

[Chopper]

you can do this for serverside. Triggers the client event showChat, when a player logs in. Since you need showChat as a client side function, you have to use triggerClientEvent.

Server

function showChat() 
triggerClientEvent("showChat", getRootElement) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",getRootElement(),showChat) 

Client

function showChat() 
showChat(true) 
end 
addEvent("showChat", true) 
addEventHandler("showChat",getRootElement(), showChat) 

Didnt test, should work fine though.

Don't wanna be that guy, but showChat is client and serverside. Blue highlighting in the [lua] markup indicates both variants.

in this type of script, he needed it as a clientside. i said it kinda wrong, but true, ill edit the post in a sec.

It could be on the server-side by simply using the player the is logging in.

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerLogin", root, function ( ) 
   showChat ( source, true ) 
end ) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, function ( ) 
    showChat ( source, false ) 
end )

I am useing a topbarchat made by xxMADExx any idea maybe with arguments ?

[Citizen]

As far I can see, the topbarchat doesn't let you show or hide it, maybe you will have to create a new exported function to the tobachat resource to let you get control on this (and probably a variable that you will use in an if statement you will have to add too in the render function).

If you don't see what I mean, xXMADEXx will probably add this feature four you.

[Zango]

The way I understand this - you want to disable the chatbox and use the topbarchat resource instead?

According to this page on community,

Serverside:

  
addEventHandler ('onPlayerLogin', root, 
    function () 
        showChat (source, false) 
        exports.topbarchat:sendClientMessage ('Thank you for logging in', source, 255, 255, 255) 
    end 
) 
  

[Citizen]

no he wants to hide the topbarchat and the regular chatbox.
