I want to be able to do something along the lines of:

usr << chat("message whatever")
usr << action("message whatever")

You can achieve this by having two output elements and then set up chat() and action() to call the built-in output() function, which lets you send a message to a specified output element.
How do i make more output elements, though?

If you haven't already, you'll have to create an interface file in Dream Maker (New -> Interface File (.dmf)) and set it up accordingly.
Ah, Thats what i was missing. Thanks!
