Chat type

[-Doc-]

Is it possible to add a new chat type?

[AMARANT]

It is possible to make your own. Adding 'new type' of the chat depends on what you mean by that.

A new chat type. Like the 0 is the default and 2 team chat to add a new one.

It is possible, yes but first you have to make a custom chat and then you can implement the multi-channel feature.

Those numbers aren't chat types, but rather the parameters sent by onPlayerChat. And yes, I suppose it is possible if you trigger that event yourself with your own parameters.

There's a simpler way

Make a script with for example a command /radio with a 3rd argument which will be our chat text in a string.

I did this just for youu :

function isPlayerInTeam(player, team) 
    assert(isElement(player) and getElementType(player) == "player", "Bad argument 1 @ isPlayerInTeam [player expected, got " .. tostring(player) .. "]") 
    assert((not team) or type(team) == "string" or (isElement(team) and getElementType(team) == "team"), "Bad argument 2 @ isPlayerInTeam [nil/string/team expected, got " .. tostring(team) .. "]") 
    return getPlayerTeam(player) == (type(team) == "string" and getTeamFromName(team) or (type(team) == "userdata" and team or (getPlayerTeam(player) or true))) 
end --isplayerinteam is from wiki mta 
function radioCommand(thePlayer,cmdname,arg3) 
 local playerName = getPlayerName(thePlayer) 
   if isPlayerInTeam(thePlayer, "Police") then  -- 2nd argument is the string name of the team that is created on server 
   for i, players in ipairs(getPlayersInTeam(getTeamFromName("Police"))) do 
    outputChatBox(""..playerName..":" ..arg3.."",players,0,255,255) 
   end 
   else 
   outputChatBox("You need to be in the Police team to use this command!",thePlayer,255,0,0) 
end 
end 
addCommandHandler("radio",radioCommand) 

Now after you have the radio thing for example in your server use bindKey to (bind key chatbox cmdname example bind u chatbox radio)

You can use my lua example to make new chats if this is what you asked for u weren't very specific.

Instead of using isPlayerInTeam you can use your script but this is good if you want to make specific chats for example the radio for the police team u can do almost anything u want with this example, except draw new chat if u meant that im not sure about that honestly.
