Chat command?

[Mr.Pilot]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering. Anyone know the command to make chat commands from lets just say...console commands?

[MaZy]

What?? Do you want how to use commands in chat like !pm MaZy Hi or !kick MaZy ??

[Mr.Pilot]

Exactly. Something like /pm !pm

Turns out there's a hook that gets triggered when a player says something. You can do something like;

function chatCommand( ply, text, public )
    if (string.sub(text, 1, 4) == "/die") then --if the first 4 letters are /die, kill him
         ply:Kill()
         return(false) --Hides the "/die" from chat
    end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "chatCommand", chatCommand );

which will kill a player whenever he says "/die" in chat.

[Mr.Pilot]

Thanks so much!

No probs

[lua]
local chatcommands = {};

function GM:PlayerSay(ply, text, teamc, alive)
local chat_string = string.Explode(" ", text);

for k, v in pairs( chatcommands ) do
if( chat_string[1] == k ) then
table.remove(chat_string, 1);
v(ply, chat_string);

return "";
end

if( string.find(k, chat_string[1]) != nil ) then
local start, endp, word = string.find(k, chat_string[1]);

if( endp - (start - 1) > 2 ) then
ply:ChatPrint("Invalid command! Did you mean '"..tostring( k ).."'?");

return "";
end
end
end

return text;
end

function RegisterChatCommand(strCommand, Func)
if( !strCommand || !Func ) then return; end

for k, v in pairs( chatcommands ) do
if( strCommand == k ) then
return;
end
end

chatcommands[ tostring( strCommand ) ] = Func;
end
[/lua]

here is my chatcommand API (credits to blackbird for influencing it).

All you have to do is RegisterChatCommand("!CommandName", function(ply, --[[table]]args) /*do stuff here*/ end) and you're good to go. Here's an example:

[lua]
RegisterChatCommand("!fuckyou", function(ply, args)
if( ply:IsAdmin() ) then
local pname = args[1];

for _, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if( string.find(v:Nick(), pname) ) then
v:ChatPrint("Hey man, fuck you.");
end
end
end
end)
[/lua]

And just for the record, if you misspell a chat command when running it, it will suggest the closest command registered.
