not that i know of...

hmm, i suppose you could get around this by putting your text in a different part of the screen, by using

Custom Script: DisplayTimedTextToPlayer((yourplayer), (xoffset), (yoffset), (youduration), (message) )
(if you got the offsets right)

NOTES: for xoffset and yoffset, 0 will be the default text position. duration and message are obv, and the player should probably be GetTriggerPlayer() ( assuming you want to get the player typing -save )

Simply use a different method of display for example a dialog (the square with buttons), or a multi board, or even a cinimatic that shows your code.

All 3 of thoes methods ignore chat messages.
