The ChatManager allows you to broadcast messages, send messages to specific players, and register commands that can be used in chat to execute game logic.

Events

This class is an EventRouter, and instances of it emit events with payloads listed under [ChatEventPayloads](./server.chateventpayloads.md) The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `ChatManager` class. ## Example ```typescript world.chatManager.registerCommand('/kick', (player, args, message) => { const admins = [ 'arkdev', 'testuser123' ]; if (admins.includes(player.username)) { const targetUsername = args[0]; const targetPlayer = world.playerManager.getConnectedPlayerByUsername(targetUsername); if (targetPlayer) { targetPlayer.disconnect(); } } }); ``` ## Methods
