yes

although you don't need to type "command, arguments"

[Chad Mobile]

Now, sintwins, tell us where you would put that file :wink:

[sintwins]

YAY. Something actually works. Can you add arguments to a console command? If so how?

BTW thanks for everyones help. I'm slowly learning :D

lol

[QUOTE=Chad Mobile;19533473]Now, sintwins, tell us where you would put that file :wink:[/QUOTE]

probably in a file called shared.lua in autorun/ along with two blank files

[sintwins]

lol I put it in autorun/server :)

Haha, I was so waiting for that.

I'm learning ok lol. No need to make fun of me. :D Although in retrospect it is pretty funny XD

[CowThing]

for arguments you use the arguments input (player, command, arguments). This is a table so you'd use arguments[1] for the first argument and so on.

[sintwins]

Is there a way so that say you put in console ("playersay". "sintwins", "hi") and then the player called sintwins says "hi"?

BTW I mean add arguments to the command that you make?

[Chad Mobile]

[lua]if PLY.Nick=="sintwins" then
player:ConCommand("say I'm a noob")
else
player:ConCommand("kill")
end
[/lua]
In other words I don't know. Lol.

[sintwins]

Lol. But how could you change the palyer's name using an argument to your command?

[Chad Mobile]

I don't think you can.

[sintwins]

hmmm. How do things like ulx do it then? Like you type "ulx" "adduser" "name" "group"

[CowThing]

Script:
[lua]concommand.Add("Blahblah", function(ply, cmd, args)

local Name = args[1] or "(No Name)"

print(Name..", is a noob.")

end)[/lua]

Output:

] Blahblah cow
cow, is a noob.
] Blahblah 
(No Name), is a noob.

If you type a name it prints that name with ", is a noob." on it. If you don't enter a name then it'll use "(No Name)" for the name.

[sintwins]

Ok, how about adapting that to the other script. Is it possible to make arg[1] be used as the name of the player which says the message and arg[2] to be used as the message? I tried to do this myself and it failed lol.

[Bigdogbikers]

[lua]
function SinTwins(pl,cmd,args)
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if string.find(v:Name(),args[1]) then
v:ConCommand("say",args[2])
break
end
end
end
concommand.Add("sintwins",SinTwins)
[/lua]

So, you would type:

"sintwins bigdogbikers hi"

Bigdogbikers: hi

[sintwins]

Hmm... I don't understand this bit :P
[lua] # if string.find(v:Name(),args[1]) then
# v:ConCommand("say",args[2]) [/lua]

[Bigdogbikers]

So, my name is Bigdogbikers.

If they type in console: "sintwins bigdogbikers hi"

It runs on each player and let's say, my name is [CLANTAG] Bigdogbikers.

If it finds bigdogbikers in my name, which it did, then it will run the command on me.

So it runs on me, "say hi".

So my player then says "hi".

[sintwins]

Ok so string.find looks for a string which is the same as your argument one and searches names? If someone has a name which has the argument in it makes them run the command? What is the syntax of string.find? Thanks

[Bigdogbikers]

It tries to find the argument in the strings, it's just partial.

The syntax is string.find(string,find)

So like, I want to find "Bigdog" in a player's name.

string.find(pl:Name(),"Bigdog")

If it finds it, it returns true, else returns false.

[DocDoomsday]

You could just change a players name then make the player type say hi in the console xD Thats the evil way though

[sintwins]

Ok thanks. So the first argument is where to look and the second is what to look for?

[Bigdogbikers]

No.

The first argument is who to look for and the second is what to say.
