A lot of ffxiv quality of life can be accessed through the chat log / battle log.

Example scenario
When a monster starts casting a skill:

Code:

ADS readies High Voltage.

will be written to the chat/battle log depending on how you have set up your log filters in ffxiv.

A potential response to that event could be:

Code:

/ac "Blunt Arrow" "ADS"

written back into the chat log

I see nothing in the documented API to read or write from chat log, so my question is: how do I get ffxivminion to read from the chat, and write to the chat log.

A possible way to achieve the desired results for the example scenario I have provided above is to use entity casting attributes https://github.com/MINIONBOTS/FFXIVMinio...attributes to check what is currently casting and if it matches skills id. However this is not the solution I am looking for is it is not as flexible in the breadth of scenarios I would like to cover.

EDIT 1: I am writing a LUA module and reading from chat log would make my life a lot easier.

There isn't a way to read the chat log...

It would take me like 5 min to add that function, but lua doesn't allow reading or writing to memory either D:

You think there would be a simple available lua module you could import to read and write memory, but you would be wrong...

So when I get time I got to figure out how to write lua modules.

Would be nice if there was an event handler that is called every time a message is sent through chat log.

Just to make what I am looking for clear, I added some jibberish code that doesn't exist. But you should be able to see what I am looking for.

PHP Code:

function OnChatHandler( Event )
    local text = Event.message
    
     -- source of text from event (linkshell/fc/say/battle/etc..)
    local source = Event.source
    
    
    if (text)
        -- do some stuff
        -- do more stuff
        
        local reply = "" -- reply to event goes here
        
        -- send to party chat
        Chat:Send("/p " .. reply)
    end
end

RegisterEventHandler("Chat.Update", OnChatHandler) 


Is there something similar or along these lines that exists?
