Matching a random number to a PlayerSay number

[covey88]

I'm trying to make a code that uses something like math.random to generate a random number when a player types in chat. And if a player types that number in chat, it will run a function. Any help?

Well to start you can use the hook

with a local var like this

[lua]
local numberToGuess = math.random(1,100)
[/lua]

then make a if statement inside the hook checking if they said the number
[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerSay","Unique hook name", function(ply, text, team)
-- CODE
end)
[/lua]

well this is what I tried to begin with

[lua]
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "testnumbchat", function( ply, text, public )
local randnumber = math.random(1,2)
if ( text == randnumber ) then
ply:ChatPrint( "Test" )
return ""
end
end ) [/lua]
