Hi!
I was wondering if there is a way to get user's current chat channel.
On the API documentation I could only find:
Turbine.Chat.Received = function (sender, args)
chatChannel = args.ChatType;
end
Which returns excatly what I want after user types something into the chat, but I would like to get chat type without needing to first type something into the chat.
Here is a rough idea how my code is running at the moment, I use lotro quickslot to create alias for sending messages to the chat. It works fine If i specify chatType to be for example: "/kinship", "/lff" or "/world", but if I leave it empty the alias defaults to "/say" even if I have some other channel open.
sendButton = Turbine.UI.Lotro.Quickslot();
sendButton : SetShortcut(Turbine.UI.Lotro.Shortcut( Turbine.UI.Lotro.ShortcutType.Alias, getMessage() ));
function getMessage()
local chatType = getChatType();
return chatType .. " test message";
end
Example of desired behaviour:
User has kinship chat opened, and 'send message' button is clicked.
-> message gets printed into the kinship channel.
I would appreciate any feedback/tips on how to solve this. Or information if there is a better way to post messages to chat than using quickslots and alias.
