Usage and Notes

Although this message is currently marked as 'Zerocoded' in the message template, in fact it hasn't been zerocoded for some time. (Noted in 2024)

Message a client sends to a simulator to chat on a non-negative chat channel. Channel 0 is normal public chat. Attempting to chat on a negative channel with this message fails.

If negative channel chat is required, use ScriptDialogReply.
