shout from command line

[Meldawn]

I have looking for a way to send a shout to the module from the server command line. I don't want to send a message, the say command won't work for me.

Is this possible?

Yes, it's possible.
You must hook the server message by nwnx_chat. Then you should use SpeakMessage...

Yeah, that's what i do too. Grab the 'say' message from console, and redirect it to an NPC, who shout it.
However, the 'say' command not sending one message to the server. It sends the message to every player individually. So if there are 3 players on the server, the NPC will shout it 3 times, so you have to script this (also, if the server is empty, no message will be sent).

Yes, 'say' sends the message individually to each PC so nwnx_chat fires once for each message. The best way to get round this is probably to have a variable "LAST_MESSAGE" (or whatever) set on the module to whatever the most recent message hooked by the chat server_script is, and an integer variable "LAST_MESSAGE_EXPIRE" set to 1, with a DelayCommand of one second setting it to 0. Then if the current message is equal to the last message and LAST_MESSAGE_EXPIRE == 1, suppress the message and do nothing with it.

I simply use the "if(GetFirstPC() == cmMessage.Recipient) " check. FirstPC should be the same inside the cycle (but i saw it fail once).
