Disable the chat for a certain player - [NWA]Hannes - 20.06.2012

Hello! I'm wondering if there are any ways to disable the chat for a certain player? For example if a player writes /disablechat they would not be able to see anything that other players write. How can I do this?

Add this on top:

pawn Code:

new AllowChat[MAX_PLAYERS];

This under OnPlayerText:

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[]){
//SendClientMessageToAll(0xffffffff,text); //disabled this, and replaced by the following loop:
new MaxPlayers=GetMaxPlayers();
for(new id=0;id<MaxPlayers;id++)
{
    if(AllowChat[id]==1)// dont forget to set this to 1 when spawning!
    {
        SendClientMessage(id,0xffffffff,text);
    }
    return 1;
}

And this is your command:

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if (strcmp("/disablechat", cmdtext, true) == 0)
    {
        if(AllowChat[playerid] == 1)
        {
            AllowChat[playerid]=0;
        }
        else
        {
            AllowChat[playerid]=1;
        }
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[]){
//SendClientMessageToAll(0xffffffff,text); //disabled this, and replaced by the following loop:
new MaxPlayers=GetMaxPlayers();
for(new id=0;id<MaxPlayers;id++)
{
    if(AllowChat[id]==1)// dont forget to set this to 1 when spawning!
    {
        SendClientMessage(id,0xffffffff,text);
        return 0; // You also need to return 0 here so that it doesn't continue and show their text anyway
    }
    return 1;
}

You need to return 0 as well, otherwise it'll show them the error message, and also still return their chat text, instead of stopping it.

Wouldnt this script make all the messages white?

Alternative way:
Press F1 while in-game you will get some shortcuts key. Which has chat disabling key which you want. I think its F9.

Yeah but I want to only disable the chat and have the HUD left.

Btw would it be a good idea to use SendPlayerMessage instead of SendClientMessage?

EDIT: SendPlayerMessageToPlayer*

SendClientMessage will be a better option. Cause SendPlayerMessageToPlayer is very different from SCM.
