Chat Text

[bobthe2lol]

Can someone tell me why the hook isnt running when i say something?

[lua]
Msg("Running")
function chatText( playerindex, playername, text, messagetype )
Msg(playername)
Msg(text)
if( playername == LocalPlayer():Nick() ) then
Msg("You said: "..text)
local ChatExplode = string.Explode(" ", text)
Msg("ChatExplode: "..tostring(ChatExplode))
if string.find(text, "!Player") == 1 then
Msg("string.find found !Player at the first part")
local player = ChatExplode:string(2)
Msg("Player: "..player)

end
end
end
hook.Add( "ChatText" , "chatText", chatText )
[/lua]
Thanks in advance!

[quote="gmod wiki"]This hook doesn't get called when a player talks anymore, but instead you can use Gamemode.OnPlayerChat. However, this does get called on other than player messages.[/quote]

Says this on the wiki.

Then is there a client side way to tell if the localplayer chatted, and if so, what is it?

[Yobdren]

You mean like this?
[lua]if ( player == LocalPlayer() ) then[/lua]

Ok, so i have

[lua]
Msg("Running\n")
function chatText(playername, text, teamchat, alive )
if(playername == LocalPlayer()) then
Etext = string.Explode(" ", text)
if Etext[1] == "!Player" then
if type(Etext[2]) == "string" then // change string to player when the time is right
aim(Etext[2])
end
end
end
end
hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "plychat", chatText);

function aim( Etext2 )

end
[/lua]

How would i, in aim(), change Etext2 from a string, into a player's entity?

I need something like wire E2's findPlayerByName()

First of all, the OnPlayerChat hook returns the player entity, not a name.

Msg("Running\n")
function chatText(player, text, teamchat, alive )
	if(player == LocalPlayer()) then
		Etext = string.Explode(" ", text)
		if Etext[1] == "!Player" then
			for k , v in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do
				if string.lower(string.sub(v:Nick() , 0 , string.len(Etext[2]))) == string.lower(Etext[2]) then
					aim(v:EntIndex())
				end
			end
		end
	end
end
hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "plychat", chatText);

function aim( Etext2 )
	// Now you have the player's entity index, which won't change unless they rejoin. Better than using name.
end

Just send the player as the argument:

[lua]Msg("Running\n")

function chatText(ply, text, teamchat, alive )

if ( ply == LocalPlayer() ) then

Etext = string.Explode(" ", text)
if Etext[1] == "!Player" then

for k , v in ipairs( player.GetAll( ) ) do

if string.lower(string.sub(v:Nick() , 0 , string.len(Etext[2]))) == string.lower(Etext[2]) then

aim( v );

end

end

end

end

end
hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "plychat", chatText);

function aim( ply )

//code here ( ply is the player entity )

end[/lua]
