Hey forge forums (and diesbien)!

 

Very random and niche question, but if I wanted to force the user to send the "/" symbol in chat how would I go about that? Will I need to cancel the unknown command action, or is there a way to send it raw so the command executor doesn't read it?

You will need to use CommandEvent to detect the attempted use of the "/" command and then put the message in chat manually.

Will try that when I get a chance! Thanks again diesbien!

 

Edit: I added this to my code, but for some reason it doesn't seem to call the event unless it is a registered command, my custom commands and mojang commands do fire the event though.

 

Edit 2: After reading built in docs, it seems I might have to do something with ClientCommandHandler to get the command if it isn't a real command.

I only need it client side so that will work for me! Can I get any pointers on how to make the custom packet?

 

Edit: For clarity the mod is intending to have a custom command (already made) that allows the user to send raw messages to server chat, so if i type '/sendRawChat /' it should send the "/" to the server chat

It will not work as a purely client side mod.

Ah because I need the packet to be modified and read by the server, well this was meant to be a client mod that allows people to send raw messages in vanilla servers... Is there probably an invisible Unicode char that takes up no space that might work? Like "U+200B" except it isn't encoded the same way as minecraft so it shows a not found symbol...

Strange unicode characters are not allowed in chat and whitespace is trimmed and normalized. You should not try to bypass these rules. This is something that needs a server side mod.

Sad but understandable, thanks for the help.
