Hidding a chat message

[Cdo]

Hi, i'm planning to add a sort of cheat code to my game but I want a player to be able to enter it without having it pop up in chat, anyone know how to do this...
Thanks in advanced

The player can change their chat settings to only send to observers in-game (I remember this being advised in LoTR Hero Siege), or you can use triggers to hide all chat for all players (I am not certain if you can selectively hide only a certain message). If you want to use the latter method, do a search on these forums to find out how; it's been discussed before.

its still possible to extract this data from replay file, map itself or memory monitor, its better to evoid cheats in multiplayer maps.

Try using this:

1) Player types 'sspe'
2) then set the chat to floating text
3) set it back

This will make the chat message not displayed, but floating text will be there. You can change to super tiny small though

Unfortunately, agreed I don't think you can change the chat into floating text.
The only way to do this is use the cinematic action, "clear all messages" I think. :/

It can be done. skyblader has done it before somewhere in this forum. Don't facepalm me it hurts...

I'm sorry, and I agree it wasn't very nice. But still, I don't think you can. And even if you do, I'd really love to know that
But if you mean the thread someone wanted that a floating text will appear when someone chats, then it doesn't delete the chat message, it simply shows the floating text AND keeps the chat entered.

No no, I meant the facepalm as a joke

For the floating text, skyblader once attached a map with the trigger, the chat not entered, but the text is there.

Well, I guess good luck finding that

You can hide the players' chat message by modifying the gameplay constants, but you can't hide only one chat message ingame. The list of the modifiable variables:

CHAT_RECIPIENT_ALL=
CHAT_RECIPIENT_OBSERVERS=
CHAT_RECIPIENT_ALLIES=
CHAT_RECIPIENT_PRIVATE=
CHAT_RECIPIENT_REFEREES=

You can create a custom chat engine, if you would like to (just like I did in my friend's map - cuz when a hero died the owner was able to see the whole map, so I needed a way to create a mute vote and a mute function)
