I had actually done it like that... anyhow... for some reason it doesn't work (I use the code provided as an example in the help file for GSTNet and it still gives an error). I guess there's some incompatibility with newer versions of Game Studio or I don't know I guess I'll have to forget about an in-game chat for now. Funny thing is that when I run it in debug mode, it works fine, but then it gives me an error and crashes when I run it normally. Maybe there needs to be a wait command somewhere in between?
