Chat Log - Array?

[Bain_Rebirth]

Hello everyone again. Today I am attempting to create a logging system that lets you call upon call messages recently sent.

First, for some background, I have a custom chat system that prevents messages from showing up both in the bottom left and in the typical log.

I am trying to make a command that when typed will show the last 15 sent messages. I also hope to be able to add a number after the command to see previous pages (like chatlog, chatlog 1, etc). I've started my attempt at coding it by saving sent messages into an array but it's all quickly to much for me to handle and I don't know where to start with this. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

If this is confusing, please ask follow up questions. I may not be the best at explaining

• -------- in chat string "" event --------
• Set ChatCount = ChatCount + 1
• Set ChatString[ChatCount] = (Entered chat string)

• -------- to print last 15 messages --------
• For each (Integer A) from 0 to 14 do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All Players) the message ChatCount[(ChatCount - (Integer A))]

Might want to use a circular buffer for this. That way there is no concern for overflow and one can have access to the last N messages where N is the circular buffer size. A size of 1,000-10,000 should be fine and have no performance implications. For the last X messages one can iterate back from the head.
