Problem with simple code.

[Stiveno]

I don't know to much about LUA but this script I played with is not working.
The code should make you wave when you say these words "hi", "hey", "yo", "hello"
it is
lua\autorun\server\sv_anim.lua

There are no errors, but it does nothing.

function AnimChat(ply, text)
    local prefixs = {"hi", "hey", "yo", "hello"}
    local command = string.Explode(" ", text)[1]
    for _, v in pairs(prefixs) do
        if string.lower(command) == v  then
            ply:ConCommand("act wave")
        end
    end
end

hook.Add("PlayerSay", "AnimChat", AnimChat)

IIRC, the 'act' command is blocked.

Instead of using that console command you should take a look at [URL="http://glua.me/bin/?path=/gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/player_ext_shd.lua&plaintext=1"]how TTT did it[/URL].

ply:ConCommand("act", "wave")

The arguments must be separated by a comma. The function cuts out the middleman of the console itself, so it's not like you're saying "'act', 'wave'" in the console, it's actually sending strings directly to the server.

Pretty much, just do it like that. You can change "wave" with "bow" and stuff.

Im 90% sure thats not how ConCommand works. RunConsoleCommand works like that, but not ConCommand.

Here you go I figured this out pretty fast with the wiki's help :P

[lua]
hook.Add("OnPlayerChat", "AnimatePlayer", function( ply, text, bTeamOnly, bPlayerIsDead )
local act = {"wave", "bow"}
local prefixs = {"hi", "hey"}
local explode = string.Explode(" ", text)
for k,v in pairs(prefixs) do
if explode[1] == v then
ply:ConCommand("act wave")
end
end
end)
[/lua]

I tested in game and it works so just edit it to your liking! enjoy :)

The chat hook is clientside by the way you had it serverside.
