If you don't know what I mean by that I'm referring to maps such as Parasite 2 and SotDRP, the chat system in that in which the text that you type appears on the screen where tips and such appear.

Also I would like it so like in Parasite 2 it gives you a custom name and hides the normal chat text that appears in the normal place.

Does anyone know how to do this? If you do I would greatly appreciate any help that you guys could supply me with.

Thanks, Reptilian.

There's a tutorial on it either here on at WC3C. Hiding text messages can only be done through the whole map, and doesn't rely on triggers but importing something or other...I can't remember exactly, go find the tutorial.

As for the text appearing where tips and such go, I guess you mean just normal text, it's under game if you use GUI (I'm presuming you do). Event is any player chat event (no chat string, substring detection).

Alright, cool, thanks guys much appreciated, It doesn't really bother me when the lag screen comes up that people can't talk, something that they will have to learn to live with.

Big thanks again guys, Reptilian.
