local manual=0 
addEventHandler ("onClientChatMessage",getRootElement(), 
function(message,type) 
  if (type(string.find(message,"/manual"))) then 
  manual=1

 manual=0 
end 
end)

onClientChatMessage won't return you a command

why don't you use addCommandHandler() ?

[bandi94]

hmm. can you give me and example whit addComantHandler() for my code ( if find that message then get atuo==0 or==1 ) i never used addComandHandler and on wiki i don't understand how its work

[Aibo]

local manual = 0 
  
function switchManualAuto(command) 
  if command == "manual" then 
    manual = 1 
  elseif command == "auto" then 
    manual = 0 
  end  
end 
  
addCommandHandler("auto", switchManualAuto) 
addCommandHandler("manual", switchManualAuto) 

also read about addCommandHandler on the wiki.

ps: if your manual variable has only 2 states (1 and 0) imo it's better to use boolean (true/false)

thx i read on wiki but i don't understand how its work but now i get it (addCommandHander start a function when you type whit "/...." ) thx again

( if find that message then get atuo==0 or==1 )

That's where the problem is. The command is not a message so you can't find it like that.

I hope you understood from Aibo's example. Post again otherwise
