This client export adds a message to the chat of the resource that calls it. It behaves the same as triggering chat:addMessage, but reads better when you’re already calling into the chat resource through exports rather than raising events.

Export Name

addMessage

Parameters

• object|string message: Same shape as the chat:addMessage message, with template, color, multiline, and args fields

Example

AddEventHandler('onResourceStart', function(resourceName)
  if GetCurrentResourceName() ~= resourceName then return end
 
  exports.chat:addMessage({
    color = { 255, 0, 0 },
    args = { 'SYSTEM', string.format('%s has started.', resourceName) }
  })
end)
