Wierd problem

[MrTHC]

I found this script somewhere else on this website. It works, but only when a person is dead. If the player is alive and they type !donate nothing happens, any idea why this is happening, or how I can fix it?

Thanks!

local donate = {
    ["URL"] = "MY URL IS HERE"
};
 
function donate.CreatePanel( )
 
    local w = 800;  -- Width
    local h = 600;  -- Height
    local p = 8;    -- Padding
 
    donate.Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" );
    donate.Frame:SetTitle( "Donate" );
    donate.Frame:SetSize( w + (p * 2), h + (p * 5) );
     
    donate.Panel = vgui.Create( "DPanel", donate.Frame );
    donate.Panel:SetPos( 8, 32 );
    donate.Panel:SetSize( w, h );
     
    donate.HTML = vgui.Create( "HTML", donate.Panel );
    donate.HTML:SetPos( 8, 8 );
    donate.HTML:SetSize( w - (p * 2), h - (p * 2) );
    donate.HTML:OpenURL( donate.URL );
 
    donate.Frame:Center();
    donate.Frame:MakePopup();
     
end
 
hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "donateCommand", function( ePlayer, sText )
 
	if ( ePlayer ~= LocalPlayer() ) then
		return;
	end
	
    if ( string.StartWith( string.lower( sText ), "!donate" ) ) then
        donate.CreatePanel( );
	return;
    end
     
end );

There's something different on your server that's blocking it.

Also just tried this code and the same thing happens. What could be blocking it?

If a player is alive they will print the "has gone to donate" message, but no windows open unless they are dead or in spectate.

function donateCommand( pl, text, teamonly )
		    if (text == "!donate") then 
			    pl:SendLua([[gui.OpenURL("MY URL")]]) -- Change ADDRESS to your chosen page.
			    for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do v:ChatPrint( "Player " .. pl:Nick() .. " has gone to donate!" )

		end
	end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "dcommand", donateCommand )

Update

This code seems to work if your alive or dead, but if I use https (which I need to), it won't work... Could I make this work with my https url any way?

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "DonatePlayerSay", function( pl, str, isteam ) 
	if( string.sub( str, 1, 7 ) == "!test" ) then
		pl:SendLua([[gui.OpenURL("MY URL HERE")]]);
		PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, pl:Nick() .. " has gone to !donate" );
		return "";
	end
end );

EDIT FINAL

Got the last code I posted ^^ working by shorting the url with google instead of using my https url
