Clearing Chat Log

Hi,   Is there a way to clear the chat log for all the players?  I know you can temporarily clear your own log, & permanently clear the archive, but I haven't seen a way to clear other people's logs. I like to set up macros for the monsters in an adventure & test them a number of times, so they end up showing up in the chat log.  But I'd prefer there be no clue to the players of the monsters they'll be fighting if they happen to scroll back through the log. So, before the session starts, I'd like to clear the chat log, but not the chat archive. Thanks

Hello, you have an option in the page of your game under the settigs button. I believe that you can use /talktome in your macro to be the only one who can see the output during your tests :) edit: sorry didn't understand at first glance that you wanted to remove text only for others

The only thing you could do is output enough text to scroll whatever you don’t want to be seen off the preloaded bit. It would all still be in the chat archive though.

Right, but it’s /talktomyself and it’s a toggle command. You’d run it once, do your testing, then run it again.

Yeah exactly! Sorry for poor memory :) thx Aaron!
If you use API script commands in chat, they will not work with /talktomyself toggled on. If you need to test things with API scripts, copy your game and do your testing there.
Thanks all.  I'll use the idea to fill up the chat log with other stuff to scroll it off the in game log, & then use the talktome in the future.  Thanks for the help
