Limit Entered Message Lines

[dizzt]

Is there a way to limit the number of lines when you type the msg? Like maybe let it go to only 2 lines and not fill the screen before they fade.

I didn't quite understand you. Would you explain yourself better?

Yes, you buy a bigger monitor....

Even with a maximum lenth message of W or other insanly wide characters, a decent display should not let it take up more than 2 lines.

Additionally, if someone is doing it repetitivly, you may wish to /ignore him as that is the best solution against spam.

I didn't know /ignore command works in-game. Anyway, if you wish to control what's written or how long it is, you firstly need to be able of hiding entered text messages (http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=51307). Then, you will need something like this:

• Trg
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Player(IntegerA) slot status) Equal to Is playing
          • (Player(IntegerA) user) Equal to User
        • Then - Actions
          • Trigger - Add to Trigger <gen> the event (Player - Player(IntegerA) types a message containg <Empty String> as A substring)
        • Else - Actions

• Trigger
• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Length of (Entered chat string)) Greater than 500
    • Then - Actions
      • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text (Substring(1, 500, (Entered chat string)))
    • Else - Actions
      • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text (Entered chat string)

This way, text messages that contain characters more than 500, will be displayed till the 500th character.
