Chat command arguments?

[trolledurcat]

Hi, i was wondering how you add chat arguments? For example,lets say i wanted to do !phase "name". How would i go about doing this ?
Code Example:**DOES NOT WORK**

hook.Add("PlayerSay","phaser",function(ply,text)
if(text =="!phase ", "name")then
name:Kick("Example")
end
end)

You could use this, and detect with a space:

Then loop through everyone and see if their steam name matches the second table entry

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "ChatCommandSlay", function( ply, msg, group )
	if ( string.sub( msg, 1, 5 ) == "/slay" ) then
		if ply:IsAdmin()
			local plyk = string.sub( msg, 7 )
			plyk:Kill()
		else
			ply:ChatPrint( "No Access" )
		end
		return false
	end
end )


-- Untested, but should create the standard "slay" command ( /slay ply would kill ply)

EDIT:
Or, if you want an example of what Niandra said:

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "ChatCommandSlay", function( ply, msg, group )
	local comchattable = string.Explode( " ", msg )
	if ( comchattable[1] == "/slay" ) then
		if ply:IsAdmin() then
			for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
				if v = comchattable[2] then
					v:Kill()
				end
			end
		else
			ply:ChatPrint( "No Access" )
		end
		return false
	end
end )

-- Once again, untested but should work

string.sub would be very ineffective for this, since it gets messy if you use more arguments than 2. I'd use what Niandra said. The wiki page has a pretty good example as well

Hi, unfortunantely i was not able to get any of these to work.
I made slight edits to your code for debugging

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "AdminPhaseSystem", function( ply, msg, group )
	local comchattable = string.Explode( " ", msg )
	if ( comchattable[1] == "!sss" ) then
		ply:ChatPrint("com1")
			for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
				ply:ChatPrint(v:SteamID())
					if (v == comchattable[2]) then
						ply:ChatPrint(v:Nick())
						v:Kill()
					end
			end
	end
end ) 

And it only gets up to posting SteamIDS [url]https://gyazo.com/e333e76eb425d8f19ffb318431df8796[/url].

As for the second one, i got this error [QUOTE] [ERROR] lua/autorun/argutester.lua:21: attempt to index a string value with bad key ('Kill' is not part of the string library)
1. error - [C]:-1
2. __index - lua/includes/extensions/string.lua:310
3. fn - lua/autorun/argutester.lua:21
4. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:179 [/QUOTE]

EDIT: Got it working, heres my code for future peoples

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "AdminPhaseSystem", function( ply, msg, group )
	local comchattable = string.Explode( " ", msg )
	if ( comchattable[1] == "!sss" ) then
		ply:ChatPrint("com1")
			for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
				ply:ChatPrint(v:SteamID())
					if (comchattable[2] == v:Nick()) then
						ply:ChatPrint(v:Nick())
						v:Kill()
					end
			end
	end
end )

Now my question is, how can i get this working with two part names? Eg !sss Bill Bones -- or !sss "Bill Bones"

[warlock123]

You could try to find partial names with [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/string/match[/url] and [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/string/find[/url]

[Greetings]

Haven't done anything in Lua in months, but something like this?

[lua]
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "", function( ply, msg, group )
local cmd = string.Explode( " ", msg );
if( cmd[1] == "!phase" ) then
for _, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if( cmd[2] && cmd[2]:lower():find( v:Name() ) ) then
v:Kick( "Example" );
end
end
end
end );
[/lua]

No. [URL="https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/3e138636eb1b0ad6ed785dedf350020755cff5f1/garrysmod/lua/includes/extensions/string.lua#L104-L106"]The only thing string.Split does is call string.Explode.[/URL] string.Explode's first argument is stupid, though. It should be the subject, not the separator, that comes first.
