LocalChatRange
A BepInEx mod for On Together that shows how far your local text chat reaches.
Local messages are only delivered to players within 5 m of you. This mod draws that area on the ground around your character and puts a ring under every player who will receive your local messages, so you know who can read you before you hit Enter.
Features
- The area is drawn on the surface around your character: it follows slopes, stairs, terraces and drops.
- The shape matches the game's own check exactly. The game measures a straight 3D distance, so the area shrinks on hills and in front of drops, and continues through walls (players behind a thin wall still receive local messages).
- Green rings under the players in range (the same distance test the game runs on their side).
- The radius is read from the game code at startup, so the mod stays correct if a game update changes it.
- Three visibility modes: always, only on the Local chat tab, or only while you type in the Local tab.
- Purely client-side: nothing is sent to other players and nothing about the game rules changes.

How the range works
When a local message arrives, the game drops it if the distance between the sender's position (at the moment of sending) and the receiver's position is greater than 5 m. Both the chat panel and the speech bubble use this check. The mod draws every surface point a standing player could occupy within that distance of you, and checks other players with the very same test.
Only the floor you are on is drawn: a player on a balcony right above you may also be within 5 m, but surfaces more than MaxStepUp above your feet are not drawn.
