PlayerDeath hook

[OnyxServers]

I was trying to find the root of my problems that was causing dead players to be able to use global chat in TTT. I was wondering how to alter this so I could still use this (death notifier) but not create the bug. This is the code from the ttt_notifier.lua file:

if ( SERVER ) then
  
    hook.Add( "PlayerDeath", "CHIIPPPSS" , function( Pl, Ent, Killer )
  
        umsg.Start( "PlayerDeathCustom", Pl )
            umsg.Entity( Killer )
            umsg.Bool( Killer:IsTraitor() )
            umsg.Bool( Killer:IsDetective() )
        umsg.End()
      
    end)
      
  
else
  
    usermessage.Hook( "PlayerDeathCustom" , function( um )
      
        local Killer = um:ReadEntity()
        local IsT = um:ReadBool()
        local IsD = um:ReadBool()
          
            chat.AddText( Color( 255,255,255 ) , "You've been killed by ", Color( 175,175,175 ), Killer:Nick(),
                Color( 255,255,255 ), ( ( IsT or IsD ) and ", a " or ", an " ), ( (IsT and Color( 255,99,99)) or (IsD and Color( 52,128, 209)) or Color(161,232,116) ),
                ( (IsT and "Traitor!") or (IsD and "Detective!") or "Innocent!" ) )
  
        chat.PlaySound()
          
    end)
  
end

Try this

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", 0, function( ply, text, team )
    if not ply:Alive() then return false end
end )

He just gave a chunk from TTT, no one's bothered to convert it so far.
Also, that won't work, since spectators are still technically alive in TTT, if I remember correctly. I think there's a custom function for checking if they're spectating:
[lua]hook.Add( "PlayerSay", 0, function( ply, text, team )
return not ply:IsSpec()
end )[/lua]

That won't work either because they can be alive but not a spectator; are spectators seriously alive in TTT? I find that hard to believe. Anyways, this should work:

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", 0, function( ply, text, team )
    if not ply:Alive() or ply:IsSpec() then return false end
end )

Do i just replace that with the previous hook?

[boxama]

No just drop it at the bottom init.lua, should be fine there.

so just at the bottom of \garrysmod\gamemodes\terrortown\gamemode\init.lua?

done this and dead players killed by world still show in global chat, any suggestions?

Just so you know, it doesn't think its dead.

IF you have ULX, it is usually the reason players can chat while dead. I'd recommend removing ULX and using a different admin mod.

[rejax]

you're all forgetting to check if the killer was a player

it's trying to call player functions on the world (fall damage?), creating an error and not properly killing the player

I scripted a new notifier and the problem fixed itself

In TTT use :IsTerror()
