Hi! I'm relatively new to Lua, and I'm looking for some pointers on how to do this (I don't know whether Lua is even capable of this, if it isn't, pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated). My idea for a game I play is to take text with a constant prefix and omit it from the main game window output, and send it to a poppup window.
An easy way I'd like to put this is say I'm talking with a friend named Bob. I would like everything Bob says removed from the output and sent to a mini-window or pane or some sort of separate window. So I was thinking of setting a trigger of
Bob tells you, "*"
or even globalizing it for everyone
* tells you "*"
and omitting this from output, and sending the line to the poppup window. I could then keep track of conversations separately (I don't care if everyone that pages me is in the same miniwindow). I also would plan on making it so I still type tell bob whatever in the normal window, I just want the output from the game in a separate window. Any help, pointers, or redirections to reading material would be appreciated! Thanks!
