AW_EVENT_CHAT
Description
User said something.
Notes
The avatars for which this event is triggered are governed by neighbor restrictions. If not in global mode, whether chat will be received from a user can be determined by whether that user has triggered an AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD event without a corresponding AW_EVENT_AVATAR_DELETE.
In addition chat and whispers, console messages may also fill the browser's chat window. This event is not triggered when a console message is received; such messages are handled by the AW_EVENT_CONSOLE_MESSAGE event.
In order to receive this event, the application must first announce its position by calling aw_state_change at least once, or enter a world in global mode.
Attributes
(1) Be careful not to confuse this attribute with AW_AVATAR_SESSION and AW_OBJECT_SESSION, both of which are undefined for this event.
Usage
static char* chat_type[] = {"said", "broadcasted", "whispered", "disconnected"};
void handle_chat (void)
{
printf ("%s %s %s\n",
aw_string (AW_AVATAR_NAME),
chat_type[ aw_int (AW_CHAT_TYPE)],
aw_string (AW_CHAT_MESSAGE));
}
aw_event_set (AW_EVENT_CHAT, handle_chat);
