Command to join Steam group?

[RonanZer0]

I googled and googled, yet I have not found something that can do this. I want to have a command (e.g. !group) that will open our Steam group in the Steam browser if they type it. I'm currently using Exsto but I can change admin mods if they add this feature.

Should not be hard to find at all, but here you go.

if ( SERVER ) then
	
		hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "steamgroupcommand", function( _p, _text, public )
	
			if ( _text == "!group" ) then
				_p:ConCommand( "steamgroup" );
				return "";
                        end
		end );
	
	else
	
		concommand.Add( "steamgroup", function() 
			gui.OpenURL( "http://steamcommunity.com/groups/redpredatorgaming" );  --My Steam Group is called Red Predator Gaming, change this url with yours!
		end );
		
	end

Put this code in your garrysmod/lua/autorun/server folder, and name it whatever you like.

Doesn't print in chat that the player ran the command.

No, you need to put it in garrysmod/lua/autorun because it's a shared file, thus containing both serverside and clientside code.

EDIT: You might aswell do it all clientside.
[lua]
if CLIENT then
hook.Add("OnPlayerChat", "OpenGroup", function(ply, txt)
if txt ~= "!group" then return end
if ply ~= LocalPlayer() then return end
gui.OpenURL( "http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GROUP" )
end)
end
[/lua]
Or you could use my addon [URL="http://fcpn.ch/dfit9"]GroupR[/URL] to give rewards when they join the group.

Interesting, a Steam group rewards addon that isn't on CoderHire.

That's why I made it.
