Chat Messages

Hey. Id like a trigger that reacts when someone types ANYTHING. Like in Defiances ORPG, If I typed "dude i love pie" my real text would be invisible and exactly what I said would appear as a game trigger. Id like to know how to cause the real text to become invisible and what is said.

I'd actually like to know something similar - like how Blizzard cheats work, where you type a code, and all that appears is Cheat Activated! (or whatever it says).

In, WEU if you enable advanced triggers, it's player enters chat message.


The rest of the stuff is kinda confusing...

I may post later.

It's a combination of a trigger that detects "" as a substring, a dummy InGameChatWhat1.wav and maybe something else. I would have to refer to a map that does this.

Those are hard-coded and you can't replicate the "Cheats Activated!" display message.

I want to use this feature to hide certain codes that will allow people that helped me test the map access certain units and items that are unavailable to the rest of the players, so my ultimate goal is that when one of my testers types the appropriate message, they get the unit and nobody sees the code.
Will this method work?

Yes...but the people can still see the typed message in chat history unless they type in observers...so what's the point.
