OOC chat tags

[ItsMoney]

ive been working on a gamemode and this is the ooc system that is used by the gamemode

-- Chat system
local gKeys = {}
gKeys["/"] = {}
gKeys["/"]["ooc"] = function( ply, text, tc, isDead, space )
	if ply:GetUserGroup() == "developer" then
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 50, 50, 230 ),
					"[Dev] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
	else
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
	end
end
gKeys["/"]["g"] = gKeys["/"]["ooc"]
gKeys["/"]["y"] = gKeys["/"]["ooc"]
gKeys["/"]["/"] = gKeys["/"]["ooc"]

gKeys["!"] = {}
gKeys["!"]["ooc"] = function( ply, text, tc, isDead, space )
	if ply:GetUserGroup() == "developer" then
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 50, 50, 230 ),
					"[Dev] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
	else
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
	end
end
gKeys["!"]["g"] = gKeys["!"]["ooc"]
gKeys["!"]["y"] = gKeys["!"]["ooc"]

With this ooc system when i try to set multiple ulx groups for chat tags it receive an error.
hopfully someone can help me use multiple chat tags with this ooc system and thanks in advance.

What error?

You should find a better way of doing this. There's so much reused code.

This what i tried to add multiple chat tags

local gKeys = {}
gKeys["/"] = {}
gKeys["/"]["ooc"] = function( ply, text, tc, isDead, space )
	if ply:GetUserGroup() == "developer" then
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 50, 50, 230 ),
					"[Dev] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
		or
		if ply:GetUserGroup() == "moderator" then
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 50, 230, 50 ),
					"[M] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
	else
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
	end
end
gKeys["/"]["g"] = gKeys["/"]["ooc"]
gKeys["/"]["y"] = gKeys["/"]["ooc"]
gKeys["/"]["/"] = gKeys["/"]["ooc"]

gKeys["!"] = {}
gKeys["!"]["ooc"] = function( ply, text, tc, isDead, space )
	if ply:GetUserGroup() == "developer" then
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 50, 50, 230 ),
					"[Dev] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
		or
		if ply:GetUserGroup() == "moderator" then
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 50, 230, 50 ),
					"[M] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
	else
		chat.AddText( 	Color( 100, 100, 100 ),
					"[OOC] ",
					Color( 180, 180, 180 ),
					ply:Nick() .. ": ",
					Color( 230, 230, 230 ),
					string.sub( text, space + 1 ) )
	end
end
gKeys["!"]["g"] = gKeys["!"]["ooc"]
gKeys["!"]["y"] = gKeys["!"]["ooc"]

This is the error i received

[ERROR] gamemodes/dayz/gamemode/cl_init.lua:116: unexpected symbol near 'or'
1. unknown - gamemodes/dayz/gamemode/cl_init.lua:0

Use else if instead. Or is if you have if (this or that) then do this end
Also, you should setup your chat tags in a table and to be index like

local tags = {}
tags['user']
tags['developer'] = {Color(1, 2, 3) ,'DEV'}
tags['moderator'] = {Color(4, 5, 6), 'M'}

And then grab them like this

local chatTagData = tags[ply:GetNWString("usergroup")]
local col, prefix = chatTagData[1], chatTagData[2]

Also, like man with hat said, you really should consider redoing your chat command structure, it's very repetitive.
