ChatPersonal
Script function world.ChatPersonal Read about scripting Type Method Summary Sends a chat message to a particular person Prototype `long ChatPersonal(BSTR Who, BSTR Message, BOOL Emote);` View list of data type meanings Description `This sends a "say" or "emote" to the person(s) of that name. If more than one person has the specified name, all will get the message. If this is a problem, use ChatID to send a message to a specific user by number rather than name. If the "emote" parameter is zero (false) then you will "say" the message, otherwise you will emote it. If you "say" the message, it will appear like this on that person's client: Nick chats to you, 'hi there' If you "emote" the message, it will appear like this on that person's client: To you, Nick laughs The different message (compared to ChatEverybody or ChatGroup) is so you can tell the message was addressed to you personally. The message will be sent even if you have set the "ignore" flag on that person, as presumably you want to override it, if you are addressing a message to them directly.` VBscript example
    ChatPersonal "Nick", "hi there", 0  ' say it
