MTA:SA logIn logOut messages

[vinigas]

I use logIn, logOut functions in my script and I see that I getting chat messages then I am testing. Can I turn off those automatic messages ?

login: You successfully logged in.

login: You are already logged in.

This means that the logIn function is being triggered twice. Mostly happens when you double click on a gui button.

Yea I know, but that's is not a problem. The problem is that i do not use outputChatBox, but I'm still getting this chat messages.

You can do something like this

addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root,
  function()
    cancelEvent()
    logIn() -- login the player somehow
  end  
)

Those messages are hardcoded, you cannot turn them off as far as I know.

You can, by cancelling the event.

If you cancel onPlayerLogin then you won't login (According to wiki). What you're doing in your code now is called stack overflow.

Pretty sure you can cancelEvent() on onClientChatMessage if the string.sub(message, 1, 6) is "login:" or "logout:"

You can use sth like this:

•  Server side

addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root,
  function()
    setTimer(triggerClientEvent,1000,1,source,"removeLoginMessage",source)
  end
)

•  Client side

addEvent("removeLoginMessage",true)
addEventHandler("removeLoginMessage",localPlayer,
function()
    for i = 1, 200, 1 do
       outputChatBox("")
    end
end 
)

@Walid No... MrTasty's solution would work just fine.

To put it into an example:

function onChatMessage(text)
	if(string.sub(text,1,6) == "login:" or string.sub(text,1,7) == "logout:") then -- Check if it contains login: or logout: strings
		cancelEvent() -- Cancel it
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientChatMessage",root,onChatMessage)
