no real way at all.

But you can make some messages that look like chat messages appear using concatenation and Name of Player

Yes, you can use Force IU Key (omfg 1st time I know something Lord Vexorian does not ^_^)

If you "force IU key S" for example, the selected unit will stop
If you Force IU keys: Enter, then L, then O, then L, then Enter, it will seem like the player just typed "lol"

maybe if "enter" was a valid control key then you'd be right...

why do people think you can do everything with JASS...
i do not belive enter is a key you can use in this action.
only letters can be used.
changing the size of this text is not possible. the player chat and the map messages are on diffrent layers and work diffrently as well.

Someone who thinks you don't deserve two bars apparently. Not like their -1 rep can stop you for very long. Like shooting spitwads at a panzer.

And as far as i know, shadow1500 is right. It's not possible to change the size of the text using JASS. Or anything else.

Just wondering, why do you need to force players to chat anyways?

I'm going for a week of vacations today, but I have an old map where I forced player to flame eachother, I'll just open it and tell you how I did it when I'll come back (and it's on normal WE)

There is no Force UI enter, and the Force UI triggers work for every player

you can only force alphanums...

i still don't see why the guy can't just simulate it with a text msg
