I'm thinking of putting together some triggers which create an in-game version of Battle.net chat windows with the intention of allowing players to easily communicate with any other individual or groups of players in game, regardless of alliances. Before I start, does anyone know of another simple solution to this problem or an extant system?
How-to-create-a-simple-chatbox, Taadaa. To get a chat with specific groups or players you should make some Player groups and show the writtin text only to them.
If anybody knows of a more involved project which would render my proposed work unnecessary, I would be glad to hear of it. Otherwise, I'll probably take a crack at it after I finish off my current to-do list.

none that i know of, but if you hit some issues/problems post here, i will gladly help
Apparently Alt + enter allows you to communicate directly with other players (or so I've been told, I haven't tried it yet). I believe that shift + enter is the "chat to all" command.
For the record, I've put together my mod and am interested in feedback. It's published publicly as "Chat Windows Demo" on Bnet and here on SC2mapster (as Chat Windows).
