PrintMessage hook (for hatschat)

[NotAdam]

I'm using hatschat chat box and it doesn't display any chat messages from PrintMessage, so I was wondering if there's a hook for it.

Try chat.AddText

That's not a hook.

You'd have to detour it :

[lua]
local old = chat.AddText;
chat.AddText = function( ... )

// Do stuff

// Call original
return old( ... );

end
[/lua]

By the way, when you detour a function, does it stay clientside/serverside or can it be changed?

What do you mean? All you're doing when you detour a function is you copy the old one, then over-write it with your own function and then call the old one again.

My mistake, apologies.

Didn't know you detour functions.

Works now, thanks.
