In-Game Chat System (NOT Quick Chat)

I LOVE @Dayy 's guide on how to make an In-Game Chat System. It’s GROUND-BREAKING stuff. But let’s face it; it’s limiting. To be able to replicate an actual In-Game Chat System with that system would take millions of popups, and we just don’t have that memory. So I decided to open up this research so we can get the biggest Gimkit brains and come up with something. So! Any ideas, fellas?

P.S. Can somebody make this a wiki?

What We Know

Nothing, so far.

Theories With Some Evidence

Nothing, so far.

Pure Speculation

Feel free to post your ideas in the comments!

I think the main problem is that the only text input system we can really set up is a keyboard-style thing, and that’s not really the same as chatting, since players have to be near the message to see it. I have a feeling this isn’t going to be possible, as there’s no way anyone knows of to input text into something like a notification or use a text input system without standing next to a button, in a fixed position, which totally defeats the point. Unless either someone comes up with a ground-breaking idea, or Gimkit adds this feature (which probably won’t happen since it could result in people saying rude or inappropriate things during games), I don’t think this is happening. Good luck though!

Well, what IF, you use a text property and you use buttons that each act as a letter, with a button that resets the message and a button that sends it. It can be sent to a trigger that sends it via a message in the activity feed? ( I totally did not just make all that up.)

Also, @Fleet could you turn this into a wiki?

I’m not a TL4, I cant make other people’s posts wiki’s I can only make my own post wiki’s

tl4’s are leaders.
regulars are tl3.
so for example
Bird (or hth), Slim, 2468 (just the ones of top of my head) can turn this into one

Oh…hey @twofoursixeight, could you turn this into a wiki please? I would greatly appreciate it.

Actually Inky got demoted (Idk I think there was some controversy with them)

Why don’t we do something like:

Have a keyboard where:

  • every letter adds a letter to a property (easy, could be optimized with items or something)
  • backspace for one/two letters (ugh)
  • clear message (really easy)
  • send button to send a notification with message that player created (easy)

The notification could also have the player’s name on top so we know who sent it.

That’s kinda like what I said in this post,

But it’s good to hear it from somebody who knows what they’re doing! :rofl:

Ooh, activity feed is a good idea. It cuts down on notif spam and is only visible if you want it to be.

That honestly sounds great! Do you think you could make a guide on it?

Yeah, I probably could. Can’t be that hard, right?

they don’t want it to be quick chat, that’s quick chat…
edit: @Bardy_2913 quick chat is where you have to select a message to send, instead of just typing it.
