OnPlayerChat

This event is triggered when a player chats inside the chat box.

Syntax

void onPlayerChat ( string message, int type )          

Variables

• player: A player element refering to the player who is chatting the message
• message: A string representing the message typed into the chat
• type: An integer value representing the chat type:
• 0: normal
• 1: action (/me)
• 2: team

Canceling

If this event is canceled, the game's chatsystem won't deliver the posts. Use outputChatBox to send the messages then.

Example

This example adds the /me command into the script. For example, if a player called Bob types "me likes pie" in console, it will display "* Bob likes pie" in the chatbox.

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat ", getRootElement(), "onPlayerChat" ) -- add an event handler for onPlayerChat
function onPlayerChat ( player, message )
  if ( strtok ( message , 1, 32 ) == "!createhydra" ) then
    x, y, z = getElementPosition ( player )
    createVehicle ( 520, x + 5, y, z )
    outputChatBox("You got a hydra",player)
  end
end
