Change What Is Said?

I'm looking to change message and show no message.


You know when people chat online during the game? Well i want it so that in a certain mode or if i use a certain command I can change what people say or disable them from speaking at all.

I'd also like to format what they say to constrain messages down to no longer than short phrases.


Is this possible?

Also when typing in a command.. such as "-ms" and it give me my hero's movespeed.. i want it to not show the command. just the result.

i've tried having a trig recognize messages and clear them but it only seems to clear cinematic messages.. not messages of players.

To do this, you cannot really disable and enable it.

You can use shadow1500's hide message tutorial to hide player messgaes completly.
Then you can make your own system that displays messages using Floating Texts, as messy as it will be.
Then, you have full power over it, remove messages, change them or anything.

thx. i looked at it. not sure if that is the route i want to go. i've read i have to edit the mpq. not worth it. i just was hoping there was something simple that i could do with triggers. ..


you wouldn't happen to know if there was something like the / command that is detectable by a trigger while online yet wont display a message to others?

You can detect when a player types a message, but you cant do anything about it that creates/removes/edits messages.
