Script function world.ChatPasteText Read about scripting Type Method Summary Pastes the clipboard contents to that person Prototype `long ChatPasteText(long ID);` View list of data type meanings Description `This pastes the clipboard contents to the person with that chat ID. The clipboard must contain text - if it does the entire contents will be pasted to that person (as a personal chat message, so it will work with other clients), and echoed on your output window as well.
