I'm trying to find a way to send an "Entered Chat String" from within a Trigger. Any ideas, or is it even possible?
Vielen Dank and Mucho Thanklero!

what do you mean by sending it from within a trigger? I guess you could assign it to a variable, and do all the stuff you want with it in every trigger.

Not sure what you want to do... do you want to send all the players a message that appears like a chat message? Or are you trying to trigger a trigger with a chat string using the "Player enters text as an exact match" event?

I'm trying to get an Unlimited Inventory map to work.
I allow players to enter chat strings to move items from arrays into their on-screen inventory. Just reseting a variable within a trigger doesn't change the last actual chat string sent from the keyboard. So, I was hoping to send a chat string from within a trigger as if the user had typed it in. (I'm trying to save the user from having to do too much typing.)

Please see my new post entitled "Sink your teeth..." to see the file itself. And thanks for your replies!

If you're trying to do that you're simply coding it all wrong. Post your triggers in their entirety up here and I can explain better ;)

Sending a chat msg would probably not even change the last entered chat string as you are expecting.
