Chat bar always visible

How can you make ChatBar always visible? I'm modifying it for my GUI, but the problem is ... it still shows and hides on tab. I've tried an onHide() and a timeout, but they both lag slightly, which looks horrible.

I thought I've done this before, but I don't remember how.

Thanks!

The chat bar is automatically shown/hidden by the serverlist script, we could add some option (global variable) to make it stuck or so if you want

Yes, please.

Especially since it's impossible to make chat stick on your player for more than like 5 seconds if you set player.chat.

Theres a similar thread about that problem. I would actually like to have a function like it is described in the thread, would make it much easier to create custom chat stuff.

I know, I posted in it.

I was originally trying just to make it always visible; now I'm forced to make a custom chat system instead.

I agree, would be great if that was implemented, and just remove toalls together as they are rarely used, or just make sure you can't send a toall.

Why? Cant you make your own chat bar GUI, and do something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
function MyChatBar.onAction()
{
  ChatBar.text = MyChatBar.text;
  ChatBar.onAction();

  // Or...?
  ChatBar.scheduleevent(.05, "Action", MyChatBar.text);
}

Untested, and doubt either of them will work, but worth a shot :)

I wish :(

I tried both of those before, neither work.

You can use "ChatBar.visible = true;" in a timeout.

player.chat is always cleared 3 seconds after it's changed. ALWAYS.

Make player.chat = player.customchat in a timeout if you want to make it last longer.

Not when using the default chat bar.

Exactly that, Stefan stated before that it only lasts longer when using the default chat bar because it's a secured process locked to exactly that script.

I know. That's why I want him to fix it :\

Not like we could use a time out to make it last longer if we REALLY wanted to display a bad message.

All times are GMT +2. The time now is 01:12 PM.
