- - Chat room issue (https://forums.graalonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134264475)

I am constructing a chat room system to get comfortable with using triggerserver and triggerclient. I am having some issues however. The chat won't appear on other players screens! I think the message is actually being sent to the serverside then back to the clientside because of a 0.5 second delay for the message to appear, but the other players in the chat room aren't actually receiving any messages. Here is the code.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide() {

  if (params[0] == "sendtext") {

    triggerclient("weapon", this.name, "gettext", params[1]);

  }

}



//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  new GuiWindowCtrl("Msg_Window1") {

    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;

    clientrelative = true;

    clientextent = "320,240";



    canmaximize = false;

    canmove = true;

    canresize = false;

    closequery = false;

    destroyonhide = true;

    text = "Staff Chat Channel";

    x = 517;

    y = 203;



    new GuiScrollCtrl("Msg_Chatbox_Scroll") {

      profile = GuiBlueScrollProfile;

      height = 215;

      hscrollbar = "dynamic";

      vscrollbar = "dynamic";

      width = 316;

      x = 2;

      y = 2;



      new GuiMLTextCtrl("Msg_Chatbox") {

        profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile;

        height = 17;

        horizsizing = "width";

        text = "<b><font color = white>System</b>: Input /clear to clear the message box.";

        width = 312;

      }

    }

    new GuiTextEditCtrl("Msg_ChatBar") {

      profile = GuiBlueTextEditProfile;

      height = 20;

      width = 316;

      x = 2;

      y = 219;

    }

  }

}





function Msg_ChatBar.onAction() {

  temp.msg = "";

  if (Msg_ChatBar.text == "/clear") {

    Msg_Chatbox.text = "Cleared!";

  } else {

    if (Msg_ChatBar.text != NULL) {

      temp.msg = Msg_ChatBar.text;

      triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "sendtext", temp.msg);

      Msg_ChatBar.text = "";

    }

  }

  if (temp.msg.starts("/font ")) {

    say2("Works");

  }

}



function onActionClientSide() {

  if (params[0] == "gettext") {

    if (clientr.isStaff) {

      Msg_Chatbox.addtext("<br><b><font color = yellow>" @ player.nick @ "</b>: " @ params[1], false);

      Msg_ChatBox.scrolltobottom();

    } else {

      Msg_Chatbox.addtext("<br><b><font color = cyan>" @ player.nick @ "</b>: " @ params[1], false);

      Msg_ChatBox.scrolltobottom();

    }

  }

}

Thanks for any help I receive.

You are only sending the message to the player that triggered the server. To trigger all players in the chatroom, loop through them, and trigger them like so:
playerobj.triggerclient(stuff);

So would I have to do...

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide() { 
  if (params[0] == "sendtext") { 
    playerobj.triggerclient("weapon", this.name, "gettext", params[1]); 
  } 
}

Something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide() { 

  if (params[0] == "sendtext")

    for (temp.pl: playersinthechatroom) 

      pl.triggerclient("weapon", this.name, "gettext", params[1]); 

}

This is how:

PHP Code:


		
			
// other code

for (temp.pl: allplayers) {

  if (temp.pl.level != NULL) {

    temp.pl.triggerclient(this.name, "gettext", params[1]);

  }

}

// other code

If players can be in different chat rooms then you can use:

if (temp.pl.clientr.chatroom == clientr.chatroom)

Instead of sending it to everyone.

Now, whenever you receive a new message, the scroll bar scrolls all the way to the right of the multi line box. Is there any way to disable the horizontal scroll bar?
I can't post the code because my browser gives a security risk error when I post it, so here is the Graal paste bin link.
Code

hscrollbar = "alwaysOn", "alwaysOff", "dynamic"
