Hi,
I was wondering, how exactly do I use the function ChatsBlackText? Because, I want it to save the text of all the line sto an array of string, but it returned an error. I need this because I want to check if someone else is already fighting my target, because if it is, a new black text line appears, and everything gets moved up one. I can't simply use the last black chat, because it would recognise the same one every time until someone writes something. This way, I would check if the text changed, and if it did (for example it all moved up one), it would look in the last line for the needed text.
Thanks A Lot! :D

ChatsBlackText returns a TStringArray so if you have a TStringArray variable you can just assign the result of ChatsBlackText to it.

var
  TheLines: TStringArray;
begin
  TheLines := ChatsBlackText;
  //etc.

ChatsBlackText returns the lines starting from the top of the chatbox to the bottom. Also the first line is stored in Result[1] not Result[0].

Thanks a lot, but that didn't entirely solve my problem, well, I will just post the part with the problem out of my script:

function NMFTR(OldArray: TStringArray; NewMessage: string): Boolean;
begin
  if OldArray=ChatsBlackText then
  begin
    Result:=False;
    Exit;
  end else
  begin
    if NewMessage = GetBlackChatMessage then {<-- Error Here}
    begin
      Result:=True;
      Writeln(' The text has occured!');
      Exit;
    end else
      Result:=False;
  end;
end;

NewMessage is a String
GetBlackChatMessage return a String Array

read Zephyr's post again and do what he said ;)

TSA:= GetBlackChatMessage
if TSA[High(TSA)] = 'whatever' then…

or TSA[1], not sure in which order it goes.

headache… it feels like understanding some of those uber leet scripts all over again… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
But, wait a sec, I think I got it (halfway). So, I could make it save to a TStringArray, and then later, svae it to another TStringArray, and compare them with a "for to do" statement, right? :D JUHU! I fell like an idiot for not understanding Zephy's post completely, but I feel like a genius because I learned something new! xD

Just so you know you can't compare arrays with a comparisons operators. ie you can't go 'If (NewArray = OldArray) then…'. You need to use a for to do loop to match each element individually.

Also I don't know why you get an error on that line you pointed out above. It should work theoretically. It's the 'if OldArray=ChatsBlackText then' line that should return an error.

Anyways, hope I helped. :)

  if OldArray=ChatsBlackText then
  begin
    Result:=False;
    Exit;
  end else
  begin
    if NewMessage = GetBlackChatMessage then {<-- Error Here}
    begin
      Result:=True;
      Writeln(' The text has occured!');
      Exit;

assuming that worked

I think you should be doing

if not(findblacktext(intstr(oldarray)) then
 blah

i'm kinda drunk, and it' skinda look, and i'm kinda a noob, SO DON'T DISS ME IF IT'Z NOT RIGHTZ LOL

I love you guys.

Lol… No such function as FindBlackText or IntStr. OldArray is an array can't be converted to a string using IntToStr :p
