/chat (/chat): hideChat("Local", the sClient (/sClient))


Only thing that stands out is the fact that you are passing a /sClient type to hideChat(), but using a client variable inside of said proc. I know you can't use client as a valid parent_type, so that may be the problem.

Bingo!

I was re-writing a large amount of my backend to be more project-independent, previously I was passing mobs when I realized since the only time I actually used the mobs in that class was to reference the clients. I ammended that in the class, but not in the rest of the game.

Thanks.
