How to disable Chat (Typing)

[Cain_ 10]

I wish to disable the ability to type in multiplayer. Also if someone can explain what this really means.

My previous note is incorrect now, you can use disableConversation and still use the group radio, at least in A2:OA !

does it mean you can talk through the microphone in the group channel but on no other?

Thanks

Bump. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

"enableRadio false" might work. I know this disables usual radio messages along with sideChat, etc.

Quick, dirty and untested... but might work:

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Chat') then { true } else { false };"]

player disableConversation true;

player setVariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true];

player disableRadio true

player enableRadio false

player (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Chat') then { true } else { false };"]

player disableRadio=1;

player enableRadio=0;

Nothing works :( Could it be that i need a public variable set or something? Simply meaning it will work once i put it on a dedicated server?

player (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Chat') then { true } else { false };"]

is false.

The right code line is this which Worldeater posted already:

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Chat') then { true } else { false };"]

[Worldeater 2]

Right. I should also mention that this code probably won't do anything on a dedicated server. It's meant to be run on the clients.

What it does is: it searches for the main display and attaches an event handler for key presses. Then every time someone hits a key the handler (that's the "if..." part) checks if it was the "chat" key. If so it simply does nothing and tells the engine to not investigate the event any further.

Still not working. I tried to figure it out on biwiki. I tried to use AddEventHandler aswell. I tried both having init.sqs, init.sqf etc. Cant get it too work :)

Some guys maybe just aint made to be scripting in Arma! Give me matlab!

Got it working. Had to clean out my init file and just put in

sleep 1;

waitUntil {sleep 0.01; (!(isNull (findDisplay 46)))};

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Chat') then { true } else { false };"]

Thanks!!!

[nuxil 2]

make sure you assign the displayevent handler after the main display is not null

waitUntil {!(isNull (findDisplay 46))};
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Chat') then { true } else { false };"]

edit: see you got it

Another problem that it might been is that I can only have 1 script in my init.sqf. I also want to remove the map at start. But if i put the remove item line before the eventhandler map will be gone but ill be able to chat. And vice versa.

and maby this avalible realize in client-side addon?!

[.kju 3240]

Yes but a client side addon makes not much sense unless you can enforce it.

The right approach is mission integration or a server side addon.

USE the ACM!
