Description

This sends a "say" or "emote" to all connected chat users in the specified group, excepting the ones you are ignoring, if any.

If the "emote" parameter is zero (false) then you will "say" the message, otherwise you will emote it.

To the group, Nick laughs

world.SetChatOption 5, "group", "friends" ' put user 5 into group friends
