Summary0002585: Get chat messages.
DescriptionThis is rather silly request, it's out of curiosity that I post this.

Had an interesting discussion a moment ago about being able to read people's chat messages from ACS, maybe as an EVENT script, but from what I hear strings in ACS are nightmare, and not to mention script args are int only...but then strings are indexes...or something like that.

Could be interesting, chat commands is the only real thing I can think of for such a thing. (also someone suggested a markov chain thing, which sounds rather useless xD)

 I don't think that ACS is fully equipped to handle chat commands, as you said, script args are only integers. Also I'm not sure if we want it to have access to chat in the first place.

 I made HUDInput before.
'http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=46450 [^]'

But they closed it because I didn't write the netcode. #ZDoomNetCodeSux

It uses chat code, but should work separately from it.

P.S. ZDoom devs doesn't care about this anyway, but if we want to fix the input issue for ever, we could try to implement this idea.

I imagine HUDInput code like this:


str text = HudInputString(-1, "Please enter your name", 35*30); // HudInputString(int player, str prompt, int tickstowaitforanswer)

if (text == -1)
    // Fail


This variant is easier than previous.

ACS is fully equipped to handle dynamically created strings, and this feature is used by several ACS functions that return strings (most obviously, StrParam).

I hope that at least some way to get proper text input in scripts is added. Either this or an ability to explicitly request input. VIRTUAL KEYBOARDS SUCK
