I muted voice since because that’s annoying to me. And no one has any thing useful to talk about. I enabled text so I can call out Spies.

you could just, not look at chat.

Yeah man calling out Spies is super helpful, especially when you do it in text chat. You're really changing the game out there.

in console: "hud_saytext_time 0"

"hud_saytext_time 0" turns off chat
"hud_saytext_time 12" turns on chat

console > ignoremsg

Man, Team Fortress 2 players being held at gun point by an invisible intangible man who is persistent on forcing them to look at the bottom left of their screen and read chat is one of the worst additions in gaming history next to crates and battlepasses.

I personally use this script and bind it to a key out of the way, the second someone says something I don't like in chat or in voice i just turn it all off instantly for the rest of my time in that server. Just put this in your autoexec if you want to use it.

//// Toggle ON/OFF Chat V3 ////
// Only Replace the KEY with whatever key you wish to toggle the chat
alias togglechat chatoff
alias chatoff "hud_saytext_time 0; echo The Chat is now turned Off; alias togglechat voiceoff"
alias voiceoff "voice_scale 0; echo Voice Chat OFF; alias togglechat chatvoiceon"
alias chatvoiceon "voice_scale 1; hud_saytext_time 12; echo The TextChat And VoiceChat is now turned On; alias togglechat chatoff"
bind KEY togglechat // KEY YOU WANT TO TOGGLE THE CHAT
echo Toggle ON/OFF Chat v3 is Loaded Successfully!

Or, you could actually answer the question.

Anyway, IIRC, the console command hud_saytext_time 0 should do the trick.

Your entire existence in this thread has been to troll and be "lol I'm so edgy". Congratulations.

the advanced settings in settings, right? since I couldn't see it unless you were kidding or something, idfk (edit 20 seconds later: I found it, forgot that tf2 had a advanced settings outside of the other one [the one where you can change key binds])
