Shout Disable

[Legacy_BelowTheBelt]

               

I disabled shout in my module's ini, which causes the following not to work:

AssignCommand(GetModule(), SpeakString(sMessage, TALKVOLUME_SHOUT));

 

Is there a workaround to allow the module to send shouts despite the disabled channel?

 

As a temporary solution, I'm just doing a loop through the PCs to send them the message.  I'm thinking that is all the command is doing anyway.

And this worked before? I was under impression that you need creature to use speakstring

Definitely.  Works fine as long as you allow shouting.  Been using it for years and just made the ini change this past week.

You should allow shout and put your restrictions in module event onplayerchat. This way you control who can shout in server.

mod_chat

//disable shout for players
if(GetPCChatVolume() == TALKVOLUME_SHOUT && GetIsPC(oChater) && !GetIsDM(oChater))
{
    SendColorMessageToPC(oChater,"Shout channel disabled.",TXT_COLOR_RED);
    SetPCChatVolume(TALKVOLUME_TALK);
}

and enable shout in .ini

Thanks WhiteTiger and xa0t3k.  This worked well.  No need for a workaround any longer.

               Sure, don't disable shout, apply a variable to the PC's via the OnClientEnter event script, then in the OnPlayerChat Event script, check the channel, if shout and the PC has the variable, then set their chat channel to talk .... (for that pc only)...
