I'm making a custom Chat Box, and i've already disabled the default chat. However, whenever I press my chat bind, my custom chat box frame opens two separate times, so I have to close both to exit the chat box. I noticed that whenever I press my chat bind, "global chat" is printed twice in the console. Why is the hook reading the bind twice?

Another issue is that since I'm replacing the default chat, I read that i need to replace the oldAddText function as well. However, on line 103 and 104, I get an error "Tried to use invalid object (type Panel) (Object was NULL or not of the right type)". Shouldn't the those lines only be run if the object is a player?

I've spent the past 2 days trying to figure it out and researching as much as I can, but haven't found much results.
As the error suggests, the problem is not the player object, but the PANEL, i.e. bchat.rtbox is a removed panel.
Look at the pressed variable.
Hmm, I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with the panel. I initialized a table at the start of the code with bchat={} .

Also, what do you mean by look at the pressed variable?

Its up to basic debugging at this point, add prints to all places where bchat is set, and in all places where bchat.rtbox is created/removed, etc, etc.
Also worth noting that auto refresh can cause problems with code too if you are not aware of what you are doing.
For example if you just have "bchat={}" and you do auto refresh, your bchat variable will be reset, so you should check if it already exists before "creating it".
Thank you, i will look into it
