player_say hook?

[Tuck]

I think i read about this somewhere, however i cannot find it anymore, looked through the forums a half hour now searching for all kinda weird terms :/

Would be great with a link for the example or just a quick example in a reply

player_say hook: as in when people talk we can choose to display it or not.

thanks in advance

You mean a SayFilter?

Syntax: Select all

from commands.say import SayFilter

@SayFilter
def my_say_filter(playerinfo, teamonly, command):
    if <something>:

        # Block the message from being displayed in chat
        return False

That was exactly it thanks, i never though of "filter" :/

Is there anyway to change the text as in es u had to return the args again, or none (or something like that)

Or would it just be returning False to all and using saytext to display ?

You can use SayText(2) to display your own message. You can also do what ES does, and call the "say" command again:

Syntax: Select all

from commands.say import SayFilter
from engines.server import EngineServer
from players.helpers import edict_from_playerinfo
 
@SayFilter
def my_say_filter(playerinfo, teamonly, command):
    if <something>:
 
        command = 'say_team' if teamonly else 'say'

        # Force the player to say something
        EngineServer.client_command(edict_from_playerinfo(
            playerinfo, '{0} This is some new text'.format(command))

        # Block the message from being displayed in chat
        return False

The plugin itself does not support returning a new value and calling the client command on its own (nor will it). You must do this yourself.
