EventChat

Sometimes it would be useful to react on chat messages in your mission script (e.g. to list the remaining targets). I found the solution at sukhoi.ru, there is a hidden flag in the conf.ini that enables this.

IMPORTANT:
You have to add the following line to your conf.ini or confs.ini file:

[rts]
scriptAppDomain=0

Without that you get a System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationExceptio n.

This is the code for the mission:

public override void OnBattleStarted()
{
    base.OnBattleStarted();

    if (GamePlay is GameDef)
    {
        (GamePlay as GameDef).EventChat += new GameDef.Chat(Mission_EventChat);
    }
}

void Mission_EventChat(IPlayer from, string msg)
{
    // msg contains the chat message.

    // Example: This code causes the server to repeat the message from the player.
    if (GamePlay is GameDef)
    {
        (GamePlay as GameDef).gameInterface.CmdExec("chat " + msg);
    }    
}

Happy coding

Nice find, thanks. Sometimes i wish my russian would be better. But only with "Dawei Dawei"

Now I only need a way to write a chat message to a player (which is shown in the dogfight menu chat window).

Any ideas?

Nice find Banks. Makes you wonder what other functionality is hidden.

This allows the server to write chat messages:

string msg = "Hello World!";
if (GamePlay is GameDef)
{
    (GamePlay as GameDef).gameInterface.CmdExec("chat " + msg);
}

Is there a way to send a chat message only to a specific player?
