Thread: Can the ARMA 2 scripting language get text sent by a player in a chat message.

  1. #1

    Can the ARMA 2 scripting language get text sent by a player in a chat message.

    I'm doing some debugging of server and client add-ons, and would like to add the ability to add test commands to the game.
    I've envisioned using the chat box as a command window to run some commands that I've written into the add-ons. If this
    isn't possible is there another way for a player to fire an event, and have the server execute it.

    I've seen things such as the BattleEye Rcon, and the #exec command.
    I'm not sure if these would get me what I needed.

    Direct access to modify player data is needed.

  2. #2
    I'm not aware of any way to read chat messages using only script commands.

    You could use a console such as DevCon which can execute remote code on the server.
