onRemotePlayerChats(obj, str) for NPC's

[xXziroXx]

PHP Code:

onRemotePlayerChats(obj, str) - another player is saying something: player object, text 


It would be awesome if it would trigger when an NPC's chat is changed as well, or at the very least, get an onRemoteNPCChats(obj, str).

This would make much more sense I would think, but I'm not sure exactly how it would work since simply reading when the npc's chat changes wouldn't always work if the NPC, for example, repeats itself (assuming that's how the function would be called, since the client can easily tell when a player chats due to the chat bar but it's not so simple for npcs).

I would like to have a way to change the own player.chat locally. Yea, I know, sounds awkward. Let me explain. Let's say the player enters "Hi there" into the chat bar and hits enter. Let's also assume that some dork added "there" to the clientside swear filter. Last, but not least, the player has this swear filter enabled (it's optional ), but most of the other players don't. My goal: filter the word locally for the player, and show it to those who have the filter disabled.
Way too complicated explanation for such an easy thing. Well, you hopefully know what I mean anyway.

Then just use something like this clientside:

PHP Code:

function onRemotePlayerChats(temp.obj, temp.chat)
{
  temp.obj.chat = _FILTERFUNCTON(temp.chat);
} 


Other players won't see the change because it is clientside.

Well you could just use onRemotePlayerChat, which is clientside; All you have to do is have this function for those who want swear filters, and have it filter the remote player's chat. As it's clientside, it will only apply to the player who is running the swear filter, and not for all the players it is actually censoring.

I guess I forgot to tell you guys that onRemotePlayerChats() doesn't get triggered when you yourself chat.

Edit: Also, it seems you misunderstood me, Dusty. I want to achieve a swear filter which each player can toggle for themselves, so they either see every swear word, or they don't. There's not supposed to be a mix between visible swear words and censored ones.

So your own chat doesn't get filtered? Kind of see it as a benefit... I mean, if I want others to be censored, that's good. I mean, what difference does it make if my own chat is filtered? That just means while I may not want to hear curse words, those who don't care can hear them, even from me.

However, I wouldn't be opposed to a sort of player.localchat var or something.

edit: That's exactly what onRemotePlayerChats() will achieve. I can toggle on swear filter and then use onRemotePlayerchats() to censor the chat of all the other players on my screen without actually changing what they say. They get to swear and I get to censor it for myself.
