Author Topic: Bubble chat?  (Read 1602 times)

I may have mentioned this a year ago, but how about bubble chat? The bubble chat, as in, you type a message, and there's a black and white bar above your character which shows what you said, that appears and disappears after 3-8 seconds. I know ROBLOX already has the bubble chat, but its a nice thing to have when there's just a clutter of messages going on in big servers. So you can at least tell who you are talking to.

Any thoughts/ideas on this?

Interesting, but would be a challenge. /support

Sounds like a good idea to me.

But it really shouldn't be a bubble, just chat above their head. Bubbles generally look really ugly and make it harder to code this.

You'd probably have to make several billboarded .dts models if you want it to not force the client to download a client-side mod.

I'm not sure if it's possible, though.

I know that shapenames can be used, but what if you want to make an actual bubble that can scale with the shapename in front of it?

good point
why would you want a bubble though? that's ugly as hell

using shapenames would probably work and look best, but it would get pretty nuts in more crowded servers

I think this would be really nice, and obviously it's possible.
It's been done in both Roblox and Minecraft. It's a mod, look it up

Completely possible, both as a completely server-sided mod and a completely client-sided mod.

Yeah, but this is Blockland.

This Would Be Epic.

I'd love both server sided and client sided versions

Yeah, but this is Blockland.
I understand that, I'm just using those as examples to help explain that this is possible.
