Changing default chat chanel

Hi...
I want to script a HUD which is a "recorder"
So if I turn it on it should record everything I say.
As I want to use it in public places I'd strongly prefer talking to it on a chanel different to /0

Well but i'm too lazy to always start my lines with /xyz

So I'd like my hud to change my avatars default chanel from /0 to /xyz

can this be done?

You can't change the default channel you talk to, it's always channel 0 unless you specify differently for that line. There are two things that might help a bit though.

First, if you start a like with two slashes ( // ), you'll chat on the same subchannel as last time. That way you can use the channel command once as normal such as "/123 foo", and afterward just type "// bar". Only problem is you'll have to remember to use the normal method again if you use a different subchannel for some other script.

The second is to use a gesture, to replace some unusual symbol or letter combo with the subchannel command. For example you'd type "^foo", and the gesture would replace that with "/123 foo". To do this, make a new gesture and put the symbol/letter combo in for 'Trigger', and the channel command for 'Replace with'. Leave the Steps blank. Only problem is that the gesture will /always/ replace the Trigger no matter where it is in what you say.

Only other option would be since it's a HUD, make it touch toggle on/off, and only turn it on when you want to record something. To cause a minimum of lag, type what you want, touch to turn it on, then press Enter to say the line, and touch to disable the recorder.
