This is just a really basic (bare bones) of a chat system.
I decided to post it here seeming as I have no use for it.
I originally scripted it just for fun.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onActionServerSide() {
  if (params[0] == "add") {
    for (temp.pl: allplayers) {
      pl.triggerclient("weapon", this.name, "add", player.nick, params[1]);
    }
  }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  new GuiWindowCtrl("Chat_Window") {
    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;
    clientrelative = true;
    clientextent = "320,240";
    canclose = false;
    canmaximize = false;
    canminimize = false;
    canmove = false;
    canresize = false;
    closequery = false;
    destroyonhide = false;
    text = "Chat";
    x = screenwidth / 2 - width / 2;
    y = screenheight / 2 - height / 2;
    new GuiScrollCtrl("Chat_MultiLine_Scroll") {
      profile = GuiBlueScrollProfile;
      height = 221;
      hscrollbar = "dynamic";
      vscrollbar = "dynamic";
      width = 320;
      new GuiMLTextCtrl("Chat_MultiLine") {
        profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile;
        height = 17;
        horizsizing = "width";
        text = "Welcome to the Chat system, Please be nice!";
        width = 295;
      }
    }
    new GuiTextEditCtrl("Chat_Bar") {
      profile = GuiBlueTextEditProfile;
      height = 20;
      width = 320;
      y = 220;
    }
  }
  Chat_Window.destroy();
}

function Chat_Bar.onAction() {
  triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "add", Chat_Bar.text);
  Chat_Bar.text = "";
}

function onActionClientSide() {
  if (params[0] == "add") {
    Chat_MultiLine.addtext("<br>"@params[1]@": "@params[2], false);
    Chat_MultiLine.scrolltobottom();
  }
}

Also if you have any suggestions to improve it feel free to let the idea's flow freely.

Don't send the player's nick with the trigger.

You might want to filter the chatbar aswell, or use a specific prefix (Classic just re-uses toall: ) as that would catch stuff like staff commands, sethead etc.

Changed and made the players nick send to all clients from serverside.

And what do you mean by a prefix?
The chat bar on this is solely for chatting and wasn't meant for staff commands or sethead.

What I mean is that if you say "warpto levelname.nw" or "sethead head0.png" that will be caught by the chat system.

Ok, just a quick question.
Let's say for instance I want to do the warpto one.
I know how you would do it if there were only a level name.
You would use substrings, but how would you do it with three paramaters in the text?
Is there any way to get them by checking if there seperated by a space?

temp.str = "warpto 30 30 level.nw";
temp.toks = temp.str.tokenize(" ");
echo(temp.toks[0]);

He's using Chat_Bar, a control he created. Not ChatBar, the actual chat bar.

Ah then I take that back, easy mistake to make with it being one character different.

You gotta watch out for them underscores!
They'l bite you in the arse when your not looking!
