Messaging problem and background blur.

[zynga]

Alright, so i need some help with this code:
[lua]
local MyMenuTab3 = vgui.Create("DButton", MyMenuTab)
MyMenuTab3:SetText("Read The MOTD")
MyMenuTab3:SetSize(740,23)
MyMenuTab3:SetPos(5,65)
MyMenuTab3:SetSkin("DarkRP")
CategoryList:AddItem( MyMenuTab3 )

MyMenuTab3.DoClick = function()
local MessagePanel = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
MessagePanel:SetPos( 250,250 )
MessagePanel:SetSize( 500, 50 )
MessagePanel:SetTitle( "Send a message to online admins." )
MessagePanel:ShowCloseButton( true )
MessagePanel:SetVisible( true )
MessagePanel:MakePopup()
MessagePanel:SetBackgroundBlur( true )

local MessageText = vgui.Create( "DTextEntry", MessagePanel )
MessageText:SetPos( 20,25 )
MessageText:SetTall( 20 )
MessageText:SetWide( 450 )
MessageText:SetEnterAllowed( true )
MessageText.OnEnter = function()
msg("say @ "..MessageText:GetValue().."" ) -- What happens when you press enter
MessagePanel:SetVisible( false )
end[/lua]

Alright so when im trying to setup the message to run the console command "say @", and add any additional text the player enters after that message, if you could explain to me how to do this that would be great.

Also nevermind about the blur problem, i fixed it.

Try...
[lua]LocalPlayer():ConCommand( "say @ \"".. MessageText:GetValue().."\"" )
OR
RunConsoleCommand( "say", "@"..MessageText:GetValue() )[/lua]

LocalPlayer():ConCommand is depreciated. Always use RunConsoleCommand on the client.

Yes! Exactly what i was aiming for.

Works great, thank you.
