Exploding someone?

[AncientFryup]

I am new to LUA and have this:

if string.lower(txt) == "/WTFBOOM" then
	surface.PlaySound["sounds/wtfboom.mp3"]
	end

After the surface.PlaySound I want someone to blow up using their Steam ID.
Can anyone help?

I'm not sure if you can play .mp3 files :geno:
[lua]surface.PlaySound()[/lua] is the same as doing

play "song path and stuff"

in the console :v:

I'd use [lua]RunConsoleCommand("play sound/wtfboom.wav")[/lua] (note the .wav) personally because I like to stick to stuff I know :v:

Back to your post:
You're making it so if someone says "/WTFBOOM" they blow up?
Based on your code I think it would be something like
[lua]if string.lower(txt) == "/WTFBOOM" then
RunConsoleCommand("play sound/wtfboom.wav")
--explosion code
end
[/lua] or something...?

[scizorownage]

also you should change string.lower to string.upper

[Chad Mobile]

Yeah I didn't know if I should have suggested that since I've never used it :raise:

[scizorownage]

Haha yeah I looked at it and thought that didn't seem right so I googled the function and it makes it lower

[Chad Mobile]

Haha.

Yeah, thanks for the suggestion too.
I want it so a certain player, if in the game, blows up if someone types that.

Explain further. What happens? What did you do?

blow up everyone
[lua]
function Boom(ply, text, toall)
if string.lower(txt) == "/wtfboom" then
for k,v in ipairs(player:GetAll()) do
v:EmitSound("wtfboom.mp3", 70, 100)
local pos = v:GetPos()
local data = EffectData()
data:SetPos(v:GetPos())
util.Effect("Explosion", data, true, true)
v:Kill()
end
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerSay", "Boom", Boom)
[/lua]

blow up the player who said it

[lua]
local function Boom(ply, text, toall)
if string.lower(text) == "/wtfboom" then
ply:EmitSound("wtfboom.mp3", 100, 100)
local pos = ply:GetPos()
local data = EffectData()
data:SetPos(ply:GetPos())
util.Effect("Explosion", data, true, true)
ply:Kill()
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerSay", "Boom", Boom)
[/lua]

blow up a specific steamID
[lua]
function Boom(ply, text, toall)
if string.lower(txt) == "/wtfboom" then
for k,v in ipairs(player:GetAll()) do
if v:SteamID() == "steamidhere" then
v:EmitSound("wtfboom.mp3", 70, 100)
local pos = v:GetPos()
local data = EffectData()
data:SetPos(v:GetPos())
util.Effect("Explosion", data, true, true)
v:Kill()
end
end
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerSay", "Boom", Boom)
[/lua]

[AncientFryup]

That doesn't work sadly
Maybe there is a better way for a player to trigger it instead of [lua]if string.lower(txt) == "/wtfboom" then [/lua]?

Also, string.upper doesn't do anything.

[JIAC]

it should work perfectly fine because it's some of the simplest shit you can do with chat

string.upper makes all letters uppercase, just an fyi, lower is always the way to go when you're trying to locate something in chat

[AncientFryup]

I am stupid to ask this but it goes in lua/autorun/server right?
