Error: ignoring illegal whiteboard data

Post by The_Gnat »

I have not encountered this error before but just now when hosting a local server (1.12.6) that changes teams using code like this to modify the teams of the various players.

Code: Select all

                [modify_side]
                    side=1
                    team_name=ally
                [/modify_side]
The exact error message is: "<server> Ignoring illegal whiteboard data,, sent from user 'ME' to team 'alley'(side '1' is on team '1')"

Thank you! :D

NOTE: this error does not break the game it only displays at the top of the screen.

How to dynamically run the clear command

Post by The_Gnat »

Okay i guess no one has any idea about this. It is annoying though because it blocks part of the screen.

So is there any way to run the :clear command in the scenario?

For example could i run the :clear command using lua in the start event?

Code: Select all

[event]
   name=start

           [lua]
            code=<<

                   // ... run the :clear command

                     >>
           [/lua]
[/event]
