Disable Default Player Disconnect Message

[rbreslow]

Is there a way to disable the generic "player left the game (disconnect by user)" thing? I made my own disconnect message I want to use.

[Kogitsune]

local function ChatText( pindex, pname, text, mess )
  if mess == "joinleave" and text:find( "left the game (" ) then
    --Do something 

    --Block old message
    return true
  end
end

hook.Add( "ChatText", "Custom Disconnect Message", ChatText )

pindex is the entindex of the player, and pname is the name of the player when it is a chat message.

So I've tried using that with my code (clientside just does a chat.addtext)

[lua]
util.AddNetworkString( "DoSAIPNotify" )
local function SAIP_DoNotify(t,p)
net.Start("DoSAIPNotify")
net.WriteTable(t)
if p then
net.Send(p)
else
net.Broadcast()
end
end

local CL_WHTE = Color(255,255,255)
local CL_RED = Color(255,105,105)

local function ChatText( pindex, pname, text, mess )
if mess == "joinleave" and text:find( "left the game (" ) then
SAIP_DoNotify({CL_RED, ply:Nick() .. " (" .. ply:SteamID() .. ") ", CL_WHTE, "has disconnected!"})
return true
end
end

hook.Add( "ChatText", "Custom Disconnect Message", ChatText )
[/lua]
But it still displays the original message (and no longer displays mine).

And you are doing this on the client? ChatText is a client hook.

I feel stupid. :suicide:

return true

Changed it to this [lua] text:find( "left the game (", 1, true ) [/lua] But nothing shows at all now.
