Reading text from another client

[damagex]

How do I read text from another clients chat. I got the following test script, but it gives me some weird results.

var
 Characters:integer;
 Text:String;

const
 FontName='Helvetica';
 FontSize=8;
 FontBold=False;
 FontItalic=False;
 FontUnderline=False;
 FontStrike=False;

begin
 Characters:=LoadCharsFromFont2(FontName,Fontsize,FontBold,FontItalic,FontUnderline,FontStrike);
 Text:=GetTextAtEx(300,300,50,Characters,False,False,0,1,0,32,False,tr_AllChars);
 WriteLn(Characters);
 WriteLn(Text);
end.

 

This script results:

Successfully compiled (31 ms)
0
#'  ¯                         
Successfully executed (63 ms)

 

I've tried diffrent fonts and sizes. Still no luck. Any idea?

Is the text exactly at 300,300 ? if the text is at i.e 300,301 or 300,299 it might not work..

Also try making Text an AnsiString, I doubt it'll make a difference, but you never know

Well, the text is at like 0,300 to 500,700 but I can't seem to set a field.

Alright, i'll try to do that.
