ConCommand("say Hello World!") not working

[Cold]

It seems that trying to execute the console command say from a script doesn't work. If replaced with something else (kill for example) the command works, but using say just causes nothing to happen.

I have googled about but haven't seen anything about this particular problem. Is the command restricted? If so, how would I go about executing a say command?

All help is appreciated!

you'd have to spit it up
ConCommand("say", "Hello World!")

This doesn't seem to work...and since the wiki seems to show ConCommand only accepts one argument I'm not sure why it didn't spout out any errors when I tried

The code above will make all players in the server say "Hello World!"

It will also give him an error.

You forgot a "end".

That's what I've been trying, ply:ConCommand. Seems to work for everything but "say chat". Say anything just refuses to bring up anything.

I already know I'm executing the function fine because things like kill and disconnect work fine. Just say not say.

[tyguy]

tell us your code

[Cold]

local plyTble = player.GetAll();
local toExecute = "say Hello World!"

plyTble[1]:ConCommand(toExecute)

That's written server side ofcourse. Like I said before, if I made toExecute suddenly equal "kill" or "disconnect" it works.

[tyguy]

no idea, what I do is loop around the players and then run the command (like you did, but in a similiar way)

[Cold]

Anyone else have any experience with this?

Try this:
ply:ConCommand("say Hello World!")

The serverside one has more restrictions.

Try this:

if ( CLIENT ) then

	usermessage.Hook("conbitch", function( um )
		LocalPlayer():ConCommand( um:ReadString() )
	end )

else

	function ConCommand( ply, str )

		umsg.Start("conbitch", ply)
			umsg.String(str)
		umsg.End()

	end

end

To use it just use ConCommand( player, "say bla") or whatever you want.
