Problems with message system

[cbk1994]

Hello 'o great scripting community.

I haven't scripted for a while, and I'm starting again. I am having trouble with this message system, and it is very odd--noone can seem to find any bug in it.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  this.color_staff = "#FF3333";
  this.color_global = "#FFFFFF";
  this.color_battleground = "#3300FF";
  this.color_team = "#00FF00";
  this.color_pm = "#FFFF00";
  client.messages.clear();
  client.messages.add( { "Welcome to" SPC servername @ "," SPC player.nick @ "!", "global" } );
  sleep( .11 );
  setTimer( 0.05 );
}
function onTimeOut()
{
  if ( this.textArray.size() > 15 )
  {
    this.textArray.delete( 0 );
  }
  if ( client.messages.size() > 0 )
  {
    for ( i = 0; i < client.messages.size(); i ++ )
    {
      a = client.messages[i];
      this.textArray.add( "<font color=\"" @ this.( "color_" @ a[1] ) @ "\">" @ a[0] @ "</font>" );
    }
    client.messages.clear();
    for ( i: this.textArray )
    {
      if ( this.textArray.index( i ) != 0 )
      {
        nText = interfaceMessages.text @ "\n" @ i;
      }
      else
      {
        nText = i;
      }
    }
    interfaceMessages.text = nText;
    interfaceScroll.scrollto( 0, 10000 );
    client.messages.clear();
  }
  setTimer( 0.05 );
} 


The bugs seem to happen once you hit 15 messages, it should delete the oldest--right? No, it deletes them all. Either that, or it doesn't delete any. Really weird ... please help!

Thanks for all the help,

client.messages.clear();
Perhaps that has something to do with it? I just took a quick look, so I don't really know for sure.

Thank you for your help, however this cannot be the problem ...

Everytime there is a new message, it adds it to this.textArray and then clears client.messages, so it is cleaner.

I'd bet a ice cream sandwich it's the array clearing.

Where is the clear though? It adds to the textArray fine, the problem is that instead of clearing the last entry, it clears them all.

*Note: "..." means I took out some code but didn't change it.

I didn't test it, but I think that should take care of the problem.
