[HELP PLEASE]

Hi! I wanted to create a broadcast script and i've got this error:

attempt to concatenate local 'msg' (a userdata value)

server.lua : 

function ad (msg)
    outputChatBox ( "#fbe0ff[Hiradó]: " .. msg .. getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true )
end
addCommandHandler ("hirado", ad)

 

and i don't know what the problem is.

 

Sorry the link for scripting subforum is doesn't works for me.

That's an easy fix. You don't have to concatenate the end of the string if it's not followed by anything.

 

function ad (msg)
    outputChatBox ( "#fbe0ff[Hiradó]: " .. msg, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true )
end
addCommandHandler ("hirado", ad)

This will work. 

 

If you want to continue the string after msg, here's how it would look:

function ad (msg)
    outputChatBox ( "#fbe0ff[Hiradó]: " .. msg .. " and yeah", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true )
end
addCommandHandler ("hirado", ad)
