How to get who is chatting ?

[lotus006]

I searched in the wiki of gmod but I didn't find anything about IsChat or something like that.

The only one thing I found it's OnplayerChat for hook but nothing by player.

Any one have an idea ?

Thanks

GM:OnPlayerChat( Player player, String text, Boolean TeamChat, Boolean PlayerIsDead )

The Player argument will return the player who sent the message, such as (for example):

function GM:OnPlayerChat( Player, text, IsTeam, IsDead )
print("Message By: "..Player:Nick().."\n")

chat.AddText(Player, Color( 255, 255, 255 ), ": ", text) --Add Chat - didnt bother making one for team arg

return true
end

If you get stuck finding functions this is a great website

Its much better to search for functions then using the wiki search

yeah thanks to both, i just not have time yet to try it but for lua search I know already it's very usefull :)

about GM:OnPlayerChat() what ever it say alway GM: something a nil value, I tested with hook but i'm alway confused about this.

You really should be using:
[lua]
hook.Add("OnPlayerChat"," ", function(ply, text, team, dead)
--Stuff Goes Here
end)
[/lua]
As you should not be overriding functions like this unless its a gamemode.

Where and How are you calling it?

Are you calling it inside a function, because for one it is a hook and will call itself and for two GM has to be called as GAMEMODE inside a function, or self inside a function that is already GM, such as:

[lua]
--if making a GAMEMODE then

function GM:SomethingInAMeta( Player )
print(Player:Name().." likes making Gamemodes.".."\n")
end

function GM:PlayerSpawn( Player )
self:SomethingInAMeta( Player ) --When calling a method from inside an object that is the same as the object you are calling the method for, you must use self and not its global / local
--name (in this case GAMEMODE).
--Failing to do the above will result in an "Attempt to index global "VAR", a nil value" Error.
end

--if you were to call GM inside of a normal function, it would have to look like this:

--In a Gamemode file:
function GM:DoMath(int, float)
return math.Round(int) * float
end

--In your Addon / Sample file: (How to call the above function)
function ThePlayerSpawned( Player )
local var = GAMEMODE:DoMath(5.6, 7) --Called as GAMEMODE, not GM

print("The number is: "..tostring(var).."\n")
end
hook.Add("PlayerSpawn", "ThePlayerSpawned", ThePlayerSpawned)

--if you did the above, it would work. However, if you did this;

--In a Gamemode file:
function GM:DoMath(int, float)
return math.Round(int) * float
end

--In your Addon / Sample file:
function ThePlayerSpawned( Player )
local var = GM:DoMath(5.6, 7)
--Doing the above will result in an "Attempt to index global "VAR", a nil value" Error.

print("The number is: "..tostring(var).."\n")
end
hook.Add("PlayerSpawn", "ThePlayerSpawned", ThePlayerSpawned)

--it would not.
[/lua]

Post where the file with the code is located (addons / lua / autorun or gamemode), and be sure to post all of your code involving this with it, or else we can not help you.
