So, if someone can help me I want to make a system to disable messages to a player.
ex: If I'm on Request Class, and people type messages in chat, I can read them, but I want to make a system that I can't read them.

Thanks a lot.

Anyways, you're saying you want chat to be disabled when they are in Class Selection, but when they are spawned, you want it to be enabled ?

I'm saying that who is on Request Class can't read what players type, but when he spawn, he can read normally.

sorry 4 my bad english. haha

I don't think it is possible to stop a player being sent messages as far as i know although I could be wrong. You could try placing a solid colour textdraw over it.

usually the SendClientMessageToAll() gets used for sending a chat to all players. what you need, is an array holding all players, with a value to allow the chat output:

Code:

new AllowChat[MAX_PLAYERS];

then, instead of SendClientMessageToAll(), make a loop, checking if the AllowChat[playerid]==1 - if set to 0 (when logging in, ergo not set to 1 before spawning), then dont send the chat line. this will require a bit processing time due to the loop:

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;
}

suppress chat on skin selection (i would use the OnPlayerConnect here aswell)

Code:

OnPlayerRequestClass(playerid, classid){
	//...
	AllowChat[playerid]=0;
	//...
}

to allow the chat after spawn:

Code:

OnPlayerSpawn(playerid, classid){
	//...
	AllowChat[playerid]=1;
	//...
}

not tested, its the concept idea only, but i hope you get how simple it works ^^

Couldn't you redefine "SendClientMessageToAll" and make a custom function that will do the same thing as "SendClientMessageToAll" except it will exclude those in class selection via a variable?

Now i think about it using something like

pawn Code:

stock SendClientMessageToAllEx(exception, color, const message[])
{
  for(new i; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
  {
    if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
    {
      if(i != exception)
      {
        SendClientMessage(i, color, message);
      }
    }
  }
}

But using a variable which holds whether the player has spawned or not.
