Help with custom chat commands

[DREFTHUN]

I made a custom chat, and I made it to recognize commands by using

if string.sub(guiGetText(chatGUI),1,1) == "/" then

It's all good, but then I can't get the arguments server side.

Like when I type /mute Player12 30, I don't know how to seperate them, in 2 arguments.

I just need a little help to get started with.

function yourFunctionName (thePlayer,cmd,argument1,argument2)

-- Your Code

end

addCommandHandler ("mute",yourFunctionName)

If using a gui, use this to split:

And for using commands. The addCommandHandler function automatic splits arguments when passed over to the attached function. See examples:

I made a while ago custom command handler for normal chat, but you can easily remake it for your chat.

Try something like this.
 

-- NOTE This code is not tested and may need to be edited to work properly.

local symbol = '/'
local commands = {
    'help',
    'commands'
}

addEventHandler('onPlayerChat',root,function(message)
    local textTable = split(message,' ')
    for k=1,#textTable do
        for l=1,#commands do
            if textTable[1] == symbol..commands[l] then
                table.remove(textTable,1)
                triggerEvent(commands[l],root,source,textTable)
            end
        end
    end
end)

for i=1,#commands do
    addEvent(commands[i])
end

addEventHandler('help',root,function(source,payload)
    outputChatBox('Use /commands for a list of commands.',source)
end)

addEventHandler('commands',root,function(source,payload)
    outputChatBox('Commands: '..table.concat(commands,', '),source)
end)

Thank you IIYAMA! Your reply was helpful!

ShayF Yeah, it's good, but when I want to type like /mute DREFTHUN 34 that script won't seperate the arguments.

Anyway, thanks! I'm all good now.

You can make it do what you want.
