Chat Commands

[Miner717]

I am reasonably new to Lua coding (so sorry if this is a basic mistake!) but I am trying to create chat commands for the addon 'Atmos'. The only issue with this is that I am trying to make a chat command activate the console command 'atmos_dnc_settime <time>' but I keep getting the error: addons/atmos/lua/autorun/server/chatcommands.lua:7: attempt to index local 'args' (a boolean value). Here is the code that I am using in 'chatcommands.lua' Thanks for the help in advance!
[LUA] --[[ Main Function ]]--
local function Chat( pl, cmd, args )

cmd = string.lower( cmd )

if ( string.sub( cmd, 1, 5) == "!time" ) then
concommand.Run( pl, "atmos_dnc_settime", args );
end

end
hook.Add ("PlayerSay", "Chat", Chat );
--[[ End of Main Function ]]--[/LUA]

Try this:

local function Chat( ply, text, bTeam )
   local args = string.Explode(" ", text);
   local cmd = string.lower(args[1]);
   table.remove(args, 1); // removes !time
   
   if (string.sub(cmd, 1, 5) == "!time") then
      concommand.Run(pl, "atmos_dnc_settime", unpack(args));
   end
end
hook.Add("PlayerSay", "Chat", Chat);

[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerSay", "Yes", function(ply, text, bTeam)
if (text == "!donate") then
// open donate shit
elseif (text == "!rules") then
// Rules!
end
end)[/lua]

this should help you out to figure out what to do

Thank you so much! That worked perfectly. I am now going to sit down and look over the code and why it works so that I can learn from this. Thanks again for the help.

One more quick question. Could someone point me towards how I could make it so when I type !time in the chat it doesn't display for anyone and just activates the command? Thanks, Miner.

Sure, take a look at this: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/chat_commands/chat_commands.lua.html[/url]

It converts !commands to commands that can be seen ( arguments are automatically separated out by spaces ), and commands using / are silent.

Just return ""; for it to be silent.

Thanks! This will be useful for making my chat commands.
