What Nexus Said.

ThinkInvisible:
Maybe use servercommands and clientcommands for a second chat window.

I don't know a lot about server-client relations but I tried:

--- Code: ---function SendToPrivateChat(%c, %text) { //(servercmd, maybe)
//Send the line to every client in the server.
//Probably something like this:
for(%i=0;%i<clientgroup.getcount();%i++) {
clientgroup.getobject(%i).clientCmdRecieveFromPrivateChat(%text);
}
}

function clientCmdRecieveFromPrivateChat(%text) {
if(the client's clanprefix $= "whatyouwanttorestrict" || the client's clansuffix $= "whatyouwanttorestrict") {
//You don't REALLY have to use clansuffix/prefix if you don't want to. You can use something else, like a whitelist.
//Add the line to the main chatbox.
//I don't know what type of chatbox you're using so you figure this out.
}
}

//When the "send" button is pressed, call SendToPrivateChat(the client pressing send, the text of the chatbox);
--- End code ---

I really think I messed up the clientgroup stuff.

It's called psuedo-code. He knows the logic of what he wants to do, but he doesn't know exactly how do obtain the variables needed

This would be:
commandtoclient(clientgroup.getobject(%i),'RecieveFromPrivateChat',%text);
Or just get rid of the loop completely and you can do:
commandToAll('RecieveFromPrivateChat',%text);

Though it's not much of a private chat if you send it to every client in the server.

Honestly though I'd just wait for RTB4 and use the chat rooms
