Hello. I'm currently working on a hero selection screen but I would like to create a chat box for it so when a team is preparing for a game they can chat with eachother and plan who selects which hero etc..
I know there is a way to do this, but I am not certain how. This would be independant of the default chat.
I'm sure I've seen people move the position where the default chat lines are displayed. I've no idea how to do it myself, hopefully someone will come along and elaborate.
Here! I whipped up a little demonstration map showing what's possible. Yes, it uses the default game text entry, but until the edit box comes around (which I left a little space for in the bottom of the box :D), that's what we're gonna have to use.
The chat box:
Displays at most 3 lines of text per person
Displays the players name and color
Stays within the bounds of the larger box
Has little arrows to scroll up and down!
+ Will have an edit box on the bottom for text entry independent from the default game messaging system

I think that would be quite impossible seeing as the "edit box" dialog item isn't functional yet. That's essentially what you'd be using.

+ Impossible to do at the moment.
I'll take a look at this. Thank you for your help!
Here again! I made a slightly more complex version. This one allows you to assign players to one of two teams and keep the chat logs separated.
