Chat room issue

[Emera]

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.

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