This is goldmine, keep up the good work.

perfect..

because
1. onplayerjoin setting array false
2. onplayerchat returning false
3. well informed messages

Why not only using the /shout cmd to chat nearby instead of using OnPlayerChat event.
Will save a lot of time and a bit easier for others.
Anyways, good work.

Chatbox is often used heavily. Typing /shout every time will annoy the players. So this is the most useful method for players.

Use alias ( /sh ) or you can even use a keybind to send a shout. Or teamchat prefix \ .
They are much reliable.
Because if someone is using custom onplayerchat function, they might find it confusing or bugged, i.e Using ignore snippet by Doomkiller.

Thank you for feedback. I reproduced the code. Now standard chat = nearplayer chat. And firstletter "\" means shouting. With this method, the code has been further simplified for all producers.

Good work

            for(local i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            {
                local nearplr = FindPlayer(i);
                if (nearplr)
                {
                    MessagePlayer(pcolor+""+player.Name+"[#ffffff]: " + text + "", nearplr);
                }
            }
I think this code is mistaken, this will send a message to all the players in the server instead of anyone standing nearby... I might be wrong but check it once again...

You need to escape the backslash.

[Mohamed Boubekri]

Its give me error here:-

if (firstletter == "\")The console tell me 'error newline in constant'

Just like @Xmair said, you need to escape the backslash. So you can replace it with either

Code Select Expand

if ( firstletter == "\\" )or

Code Select Expand

if ( firstletter == @"\" )

[Sonmez]

I recompiled the code. Added /s command for shouting. And still standard chat = nearplayer chat.
