I am trying to have an NPC message such as "our fellowship is now locked." cause an event in my program. So far I have been trying to use the ChatTextInterceptEventArgs.

I have used the following code to initialize:
Core.ChatBoxMessage += new EventHandler<Decal.Adapter.ChatTextInterceptEventArgs>(Core_ChatBoxMessage);

And have set up the following function:

void Core_ChatBoxMessage(object sender, Decal.Adapter.ChatTextInterceptEventArgs e)
{

if (e.Text.ToString() == mStartTrigger)
{ TimerEventStart(); }

if (e.Text.ToString() == mAnnounceTrigger)
{ TimerEventProcessor(); }

if (e.Text.ToString() == "Arena One is now available for new warriors!"
{ Leader.PluginCore.Util.WriteToChat("Saw Announcement in Colliseum.";
}

The above does not work. Is e.text.ToString() the appropriate event arg to use. e.Text also does not work.

(My third e.Text is simply to try to determine when I finally get the function correct.)

I am using C#2010 Decal 2965 and the virindi bundle with my icon on the virindi bar.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and, if my entire choice of event arg is wrong, point me to the correct one to use. Many thanks for any help.

I think you just need e.Text, but it's been a bit since I was messing with it.

I think you want it to look more like this:

if (e.Text == "Arena One is now available for new warriors!\n"

Note the \n on the end. To equal the full chat message, I believe it needs the new line command on there. Otherwise you could use something like e.Text.StartsWith("Arena One is now available " where it just tries to match the beginning of the incoming text and not the whole message.

Thanks for the ideas Endy. I still can't trigger a message to me in chat line when arbitrator speaks which is my test case. I tried both the \n and the StartsWith and neither led to a trigger. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thx Mish

I may be a bit tired tonight, but should it be more like this?
if (e.Text == "Master Arbiter says, \"Arena One is now available for new warriors!\"\n"

try this

if (e.Text.Contains("our Message")
{
}

Thank you FreestyleD. That worked.
