Is there a procedure/function I could use to wait until a specfic string appears in the chatbox? I have tried looking through the functions list but can't find anything. Thanks :)

while not(IsChatBoxTextAnyLine('string',clBlack)) do
  sleep(100);

though you would want a failsafe in there as it could be an endless loop without one

are you talking about a line in the chatbox? or like a click to continue?
i'd just use a getcolor on different points as it'd be fastest

I use this to find out if someone is talking to my character when I'm away from the computer.. You can modify it and see if OldLine = 'text here' then…..

Procedure SomeoneTalked;
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  FixChat;
  OldLine := TheLine;

  if(LastChatter(TheName))then
  begin
    GetLastChatText(TheLine);
    if OldLine <> TheLine then
    try
      For I:= 0 To 5 do
      begin
        PlaySound('C:\Users\Brandon\Downloads\MSN_Sound.wav');
        wait(150);
      end;
      writeln(TheLine);
    except end;
  end else
  begin
    GetLastChatText(TheLine);
    if OldLine <> TheLine then
    try
      For I:= 0 To 5 do
      begin
        PlaySound('C:\Users\Brandon\Downloads\MSN_Sound.wav');
        wait(150);
      end;
      writeln(TheLine);
    except end;
  end;
end;

Hmm I'll try that, thanks.
