[Help Request] Scripting Help

Hi there, I am somewhat new to scripting, my issue I have is that I am trying to create a script which upon typing a command in the games chat menu like /blue will show the moderators name in the chat in blue and whatever they type after that in the same color? Is that possible to do? I have been trying to work on this for several days and I am frustrated and need some help on it. Thanks!

As you're new to scripting, give up on the idea of chat-based commands. I don't think that is possible in any easy way doing, without a 3rd party program/addon.

Commands are usually done by triggers, (add)Actions, or keybinds. I listed those from easy to more difficult.

Also, you are not able to change the color of the chat unless you change the channel (global,sideChat,etc..).

ArmA scripting is in that aspect, quite different from other games, but you'll figure

Kind regards,

Sanchez

It could probably be done one way or another, these should help:
