TTT Chat Tags

[SkibbyDuu]

I am a pretty good LUA scripter, but, as everyone, I have ran into a problem. I have a chat tag script(This was made by someone else, but edited by me), but it seems to have a problem. The problem is that spectators/dead players can talk and everyone(INCLUDING LIVING PLAYERS) can see there chat. I cannot find a problem but here is the code:

    if (SERVER) then
    AddCSLuaFile( "chattags.lua" )
    local Tag = ""
    local R = 0
    local G = 0
    local B = 0
    
    function CustomChat_ChatMessage( name, String, bool, R, G, B) -- ChatMessage(rgb, name, rgb2, String)
        umsg.Start( "CustomChat_ChatMsg" )
            umsg.String(name)
            umsg.String(String)
            umsg.String(bool)
            umsg.Long(R)
            umsg.Long(G)
            umsg.Long(B)
        umsg.End()
    end
    
    
    concommand.Add( "chat_alert", function( ply, cmd, args )
    
        if args[1] then // We're seeing if there are any arguments, arguments are stored on a table, so you will have to use args[index].
            if ply:IsAdmin() then
            CustomChat_ChatMessage( "ALERT", ": "..string.gsub(args[1], "_", " "), "" , 255, 0, 0)
            else
            ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCONSOLE,"You are not Admin")
            Msg("--Player "..ply:Nick().." is not admin and tryed to use alert chat.\n")
            end
        end
    end )
    
    function CustomChat_Checker( ply, text, teamonly )
    
            --/*
            if ply:IsUserGroup("moderator") then
            Tag = "(Moderator)\t"
            R = 255
            G = 165
            B = 0
            elseif ply:IsUserGroup("donator") then
            Tag = "(Donator)\t"
            R = 0
            G = 255
            B = 255
            elseif ply:IsUserGroup("owner") then
            Tag = "(Owner)\t"
            R = 255
            G = 0
            B = 0
            elseif ply:IsSuperAdmin() then
            Tag = "(Super Admin)\t"
            R = 255
            G = 0
            B = 0
            elseif ply:IsAdmin() then
            Tag = "(Admin)\t"
            R = 50
            G = 205
            B = 50
            elseif ply:IsUserGroup("co-owner") then
            Tag = "(Co-Owner)\t"
            R = 20
            G = 100
            B = 150
            else
            Tag = ""
            R = 30
            G = 144
            B = 255
            end
            --*/
            /*
            if ply:IsSuperAdmin() then
            Tag = "(Admin)\t"
            R = 50
            G = 205
            B = 50

            G = 0
            end
            */
        CustomChat_ChatMessage(ply:Nick(), ": "..text, Tag, R, G, B)
        return ""
        end
        hook.Add("PlayerSay", "WordCheck", CustomChat_Checker)
    ------------------------------------------
        else --- client code
    ------------------------------------------
    usermessage.Hook("CustomChat_ChatMsg", function( um, ply )
    local name = um:ReadString()
    local String = um:ReadString()
    local Tag = um:ReadString()
    local R = um:ReadLong()
    local G = um:ReadLong()
    local B = um:ReadLong()
    chat.AddText(Color(R, G, B, 255), Tag..name, Color(255, 255, 255, 255), String)
end)
end-- final end 


-- Admin > flamedog: words
-- SAdmin > flamedog: words
-- Concole > words

The directory of this code is:

[Server]/orangebox/garrysmod/lua/autorun/chattags.lua

-----------------------------------------------

P.S. I also have a DeathRun server, but the Co-Owner's tag is "Super Admin" for some reason, NOTE: THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON TTT!

Did you try it without the "/t".

Like this: Tag = "[Moderator]"

If you're a "pretty good Lua* scripter" you should be able to solve your problem.

You don't seem to understand the flow of your own code.

1. <players say something> CustomChat_Checker gets called
2. <text gets tag and color> CustomChat_Checker finds the right tags/color
3. <you send a usermessage> CustomChat_ChatMessage send a Usermessage

In case you haven't realized it yet, the reason you see death people chat is because you send a usermesasge in CustomChat_ChatMessage to all clients on the server.

You don't anywhere in your code have any kind of restriction on who you send the data too.

What you probably want to do is create a table with players who are death, and only send the chat message to the table when a death person talks.

PS. The 100% right way to apply these colors/tags on the client and not on the server, doing so reduces network traffic.

Thanks a lot! I am still learning to script though! (BTW, I knew it was that, I was thinking about fixing that after I posted it, but, just to make sure, I didn't

-.-, wow, you must be some kind of dumb... I said "Pretty Good" NOT implying that I am a "Master"! And also, EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, EVEN Garry, faces some problems you can't fix on your own!

If you're a pretty good lua scripter you can make your own chat tags script...

So are you saying that the "table of players" is passed "nil"?
