How to say (chat) commands with evolve?

I have this lua file in my server’s files (server IP and port) > lua > autorun > server

With this code…

[lua]
ChatCommands = {bettywhite} – Create the table to store the commands.

function AddChatCommand(cmd, callback)
for k,v in pairs(ChatCommands) do
if cmd == v.cmd then return end – If it already exists then don’t add another.
end
table.insert(ChatCommands, {cmd = cmd, callback = callback}) – Add to the table.
end

function ChatCommandSay(ply, text)
– Loop through the table of chat commands.
for k, v in pairs(ChatCommands) do
if string.lower(v.cmd) == string.Explode(“bettywhite”, string.lower(text))[1] then
return v.callback(ply, “bettywhite” … string.sub(text, string.len(v.cmd) + 2, string.len(text)))
end
end
end
hook.Add(“PlayerSay”, “ChatCommandSay”, ChatCommandSay)

function PlayTheSound(ply, args)
local Sound = Sound(“69.197.190.77 port 27015/sound/bettywhite.wav”) – This is the sound to play.

ply:ConCommand("play " .. Sound)
return ""

end
AddChatCommand("!playsound", PlayTheSound)

You need to put that into your servers “autorun/lua/server/” folder, in a lua file name of your choice.
For example, “autorun/lua/server/SoundPlayer.lua” <- Code goes inside the lua file.

[/lua]

Now I almost have no idea what I am doing with lua. I am trying to get it so that when a player types in “bettywhite” in the chat bar that plays a sound called bettywhite.

I have the bettywhite sound in my (server IP and port)> sound file.

Thanks.

[lua ] tag your code [ /lua]

Your code is a mess lol, I’ll fix tomorrow tired now if no one fixes it before me :stuck_out_tongue: i bet there is always someone.

Thank you for editing this code for me! And btw, I got that code from another website. And sorry, I didn’t know about the [lua] part.

Also could you include where to put the .lua file when you are done? It is much appreciated by me, thanks so much for helping out a lil’ ol’ noob like me :D.

[lua]function ChatCommandSay(ply, text)
if string.find(string.lower(text), “bettywhite”) then – if they type hello bettywhite it will play or BeTtyWhite
ply:EmitSound(“bettywhite.wav”,500, 200)
end
end
hook.Add(“PlayerSay”, “ChatCommandSay”, ChatCommandSay)[/lua]

Goes in lua/autorun/server/sound.lua in the server files not client.

#5

where do you put custom sounds in your server? I put them in my (server IP folder) > sound, but people are still saying when they join that they aren’t downloading the custom sounds. :confused:

I don’t think the code is the problem… because when I type in bettywhite it doesn’t work.

#6

Did you add the custom sound as a resource? You need to “tell” the client to download the new file.

#7

I didn’t, I am very new at this, an extreme noob if you will, where do you put the sounds in order to “tell” clients to download them?

#8

Just add this line in your chat command file:
[lua]
Resource.AddSingleFile ( “sound/bettywhite.wav” )
[/lua]
