Whispering as a Character

Is it possible to whisper as a character to another one? A few beings in my game are jointly controlled by the gm and the player, and I want to be able to have the character whisper things so that the player who controls it can see when it whispers to another player. More importantly, I would like to be able to send whispers so that they show From X where X is not the gm but a given character, in order to keep things from getting to confusing. I am also interested in any workarounds.

I know we have 'languages' set up in my game. There's a character called "Elvish", and if you /w Elvish, all players who speak Elvish (aka, can access and modify Elvish's sheet) can read it. I think that'd work for you.

My issue isn't the language thing, although having every conversation option be its own language is technically possible, my point was that I would like to be able to send a whisper from a character, but I cannot mix the /as and /w functionality.

You can change who you are speaking as at the bottom of the chat (or as the GM just use /as or /emas ). I did some limited testing between my account and a test account. Here's what I came up with: Whispering in-character to some other character will tell the other character that it was from the first character, but doesn't seem (at least for me) to give an indication of who it was too on the second character side. So, if players on either end have multiple characters, they won't know who the message is directed to. Additionally, it seems that if two players both control both characters in the discussion, the speaking player will see the messages, but not the listening one. Also, whispering to a character who has no one controlling them (NPC) seems to only show To GM on the receiving side.

Interesting finds Aaron. I think some of those are bugs, one of those might be a missing feature, but undelivered whispers I think are buggy.

Another question that's sorta related--can I set up a macro to whisper a particular character? One of mine has an intelligent magic item that speaks to her, but it's a pain to constantly type it out. I know I'm lazy, but it would actually save me time to click something and bam, anything I type until I hit enter goes just to that player.

Yeah, I do this all the time, just use the query syntax: /w "Bob" ?{Message?} You could even add something like: /? "Bob" Your moonstone ring vibrates gently, a voice speaks in your mind saying "?{Message?}"

Good technique, Aaron. I add one more little bit. You can put a Default answer for the message, after the vertical bar mark | in the code. If you want to send the default whisper, just hit Return. If you want to change the default text to a custom message, you can do that when you hit the macro. /w Bob Your moonstone vibrates and tells you ?{What is the message from the moonstone|You Will Have Good Luck which is the default message the moonstone says everyday to you}

Nice, thanks guys!

Thanks!
