Trying to make an anti chat-spam

[Gabwiel]

I made this :
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "CommandsHAS", function( ply, text, public )

    if ply.has_ChatCooldown == true then
        ply:ChatPrint("Hey, please don't spam")
        return ""
    end
end)
But it's not working
Any idea on how to make it work ?

Are you defining ply.has_ChatCooldown?

You don't have to check 'if bool == true/false then' you can just do 'if bool then' or 'if not bool then' for false bools. To answer your question you you should use CurTime to check when the client's last chat message was and check if ply.LastChat + delay <= CurTime().

    if ply.LastChat + 1 <= CurTime() then
        ply:ChatPrint("Hey, please don't spam")
        return ""
    end

    ply.LastChat = CurTime()
This isn't working

Are you putting it in a PlayerSay hook? And I believe the source engine adds a 1 second delay between sending messages automatically so just setting a 1 second delay yourself is pointless.

My bad, I modified the message
