Hey guys! I'm making a custom map and I was thinking about adding an option of interacting with the world in a certain way via dynmap! The way I was thinking of, users would say a certain message in the dynmap and the Chatbox would use this as a trigger.

However, to my knowledge the chatbox doesn't read web messages at all. Is there a config option I'm missing or do you guys know of another way I could activate redstone via a dynmap web message?

Dynmap says that it should be able to emit messages into the normal Minecraft chat, which MiscPeripherals' Chat Box should be able to detect as an incoming chat event.

Unfortunately, this is simply not the case. Here's the code I used to test if it will read a dynmap web message
Code:
chat = peripheral.wrap("left")
while true do
  e, player, message = os.pullEvent("chat")
  print( player .. ":" .. message )
  sleep(.1)
end

and here's a screenshot verifying it doesn't work.

is my code just wrong? is a web message a different event?
