Heya, finny mate!
Name the morons (in their NAME field) who's supposed to speak. Let's say we have a d00d named BustyPooh.
And here are the chat codes. Use them in the "On Activation" field of triggers/wp's or in scripts:
1. BustyPooh sideChat "hello"
2. BustyPooh GroupChat "Hello"
3. BustyPooh GlobalChat "Goodbye"
========
1. is talking to everyone at his side (eg WEST)
2. is ditto to everyone in his group
3. is yelling out over the whole dang island (all sides can hear the message) ;D
oh, and several lines of text is divided this way:
blahBlah\nBlahBlah...
note the
\n - this is what chops yer line into two pieces of text.
