disable player chat

There has got to be another way besides enablefeatures() to disable player chat. obviously from my most recent thread, it is messing up many, many things on our server. Is there another way to approach this? Anything at all?

p.s.
player.chat == "" doesn't suffice in a timeout. Its not effecient enough and you can almost always still see the regular chat.

Just noticed using onPlayerChats() and a timeout to set player.chat == "" works unless you have the tab chat bar open, then it stays, so somehow I need a way to make that stop too, w/o enablefeatures().

That stops our chat system from working. xD
Any other ways?

Why would you want to disable the player's own chat? No one else will be able to see it, and it can help with commands or whatever.

It looks really sloppy and annoying to me at least, and i imagine other players as well. We're using bubbles, so its all in the way.

You'll need that in a weapon script, level NPCs don't receive GUI events.

Can't you just hide chat with enablefeatures?

He said in the OP that it's causing problems with other systems on the server.

Maybe you should look into why enablefeatures is screwing things up.

Most likely cause, multiple scripts calling enablefeatures.

Use a weapon script as your central enabler/disabler.

Here's mine: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=87692 but modify it to meet your needs of course.

enablefeatuers is hiding the npc chat, which from what I understand from above posts, is normal. I need that to not happen.

The solution hides everything from the chat tab bar, and that doesn't solve my problem, because it hides everything, so you can't see any chat.

Have a weapon script draw whatever is in the npc's chat then, that's your missing half to your custom chat system.

function onPlayerChats() {
  player.storedchat = player.chat;
  player.chat = "";
}

Use player.storedchat to render the chat bubble for only the player(not other players). The only problem is this might interfere with chat commands... but I dunno. It may process commands before it clears it.

On a similiar note, trying to disable s+a, and oddly, enablefeatures isnt working for it. I dont know whats up with enablefeatures causing so many issues...

Regardless, i was trying to get this to work, and will post this code, that I know will not work.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onKeyPressed(keystring)

{

  if (keystring == "s" && keystring == "a") { 

    setAni("armageddon-idle", NULL);

  }

}

Is there another way to interrupt the s+a besides enable features? Been trying for hours. Didnt see anything about it except enablefeatures on the forums.

p.s, tried to get the keycode for s+a, apparently you cant, at least from using

PHP Code:


		
			
function onKeyPressed( keycode, keystring, scancode ) {

  if (this.keydebug)

  player.chat = params;

  else

  player.chat = "";

}
