i am currently trying to hide a message if it conditionally contains a certain symbol. (!)

  "messages_text": {
    "type": "panel",
    "size": [ "100%", "100%c" ],
    "controls": [
      {
        "text": {
          "type": "label",
          "color": "$chat_text_color",
          "enable_profanity_filter": false,
          "localize": false,
          "size": [ "100%", "default" ],
          "text": "#text",
          "text_tts": "#text_tts",
          "font_type": "$chat_font_type",
          "font_scale_factor": "$chat_font_scale_factor",
          "line_padding": "$chat_line_spacing",
          "bindings": [
            {
              "binding_type": "view",
              "source_property_name": "(not ((#text - '!') = #text))",
              "target_property_name": "#visible"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ],
    "bindings": [
      {
        "binding_name": "#chat_visible",
        "binding_name_override": "#visible"
      }
    ]
  },

this is chat_screen.json btw in case anyone is wondering.
this reminds me of actionbar_text where the binds are inaccessible, could it be a similar situation or am i just doing it wrong?

('@' + #text - '!' = '@' + #text)

pure trout `('@' + #text - '!' = '@' + #text)`

thank you this works, but only in the screen

#

is there a way to make it so that the chat doesnt appear outside of it?
