Solved Modify chat messages [C#]

Is it possible to modify chat messages before they are sent (C#)?

Thank you,

Maniah

 

I tried that before asking the question. But I can't find any C# examples. All the mods using this seem to be writtein in LUA.

 

Pseudo code:

Code:

bool OnPlayerChat(ConsoleSystem.Arg arg)
{
    BasePlayer player = PlayerFromArg;
    string message = MessageFromArg;
    string userId = UserIdFromPlayer;
    WriteInChat(DisplayNameFromPlayer, message, userId);
    blockMessage;
}

 

Ended up with:

Code:

        [HookMethod("OnPlayerChat")]
        object OnPlayerChat(ConsoleSystem.Arg arg)
        {
            string playerChat = arg.GetString(0, "text");
            BasePlayer player = arg.connection.player as BasePlayer;            string result = "";
            string playerColor = "#cccccc";            string factionColor = allianceColor;            if (player != null && playerChat != null)
            {                    result = string.Format("<color={0}>{1}</color>: {2}", playerColor, player.displayName, playerChat);
                    PrintToChat(result);
                    return "handled";
                }
            }        }

 

Does not look bad for now. But I recommend you simply returning false.
Also I don't see the reason for
string factionColor = allianceColor;
The rest seems fine

 

You do not need to use the HookMethod attribute in plugins
Some redundancy here and there but should work, only part I'm not sure of is the arg.GetString part for when the user sends a message which has quotes in it, not sure if it will still see everything as a single argument or if it starts a second one, so that's something you'll need to test.
