English Only ... #1

[justn]

Hey guys

I'm working on a script.. so when the player talks in the main chat.. if there's letters / words which is not english.. then it will output a error in the chatbox..

[./BlackBird#]

addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",root, 
function (msg) 
 for i 1,string.len(msg) 
  if string.byte(string.sub(msg,i,i)) < 32 or string.byte(string.sub(msg,i,i)) > 127 then 
     return cancelEvent() 
   end 
 end 
end 
)

This didn't help at all... did you read what i wanted?

Actually that code is what you want, although it's a bit sloppy.

Try using this, it should work.

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, function ( message ) 
    for i=1, string.len ( message ) do 
        local n = message:sub ( i, i ) 
        if ( n:byte ( ) < 32 or n:byte ( ) > 127 ) then 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
            outputChatBox ( "English characters only...", source, 255, 0, 0 ) 
            return; 
        end 
    end  
end )

            return; 
        end 
    end  
end ) 

In The Netherlands ( so Dutch ) we also use English letters... it's quite hard to actually make a script like that haha!

Well yes, a lot of Spanish does too. I actually don't think you can fully block other languages unless well you want to write an English dictionary in a table lol. I could be wrong though.

Ah... because when I tested his.. i said something arabic in chat . and it still worked

Hahah. I had that suggestion, but I don't think I wanna take a long time creating a english dictionary...

@xXMADEXx: In your code, the event doesn't get cancelled

[justn]

Any help?

[tosfera]

Any help?

What you can do, is try to fetch the google translate page ( or write a php script with an API if there is one ) and let it detect if it's English or not. Keep in mind that typos will be blocked too. so people with bad English won't be able to talk either!

[justn]

I'm currently using xXMADEXx's code.. But the 'cancelEvent( )' in his code doesn't get cancelled, that's what I need help fixing

[justn]

Someone can help me please?

MADE code works perfect, try stop freeroam if it's running

[justn]

cancelEvent() doesn't work.. and Freeroam is not running.. I edited his code a bit:

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, function ( message,messageType ) 
    if ( messageType == 0 ) then 
        for i=1, string.len ( message ) do 
            local n = message:sub ( i, i ) 
            if ( n:byte ( ) < 32 or n:byte ( ) > 127 ) then 
                cancelEvent ( ) 
                outputChatBox ( "#0075ff(Language): #FFFFFFMain chat is for #0075ffEnglish #FFFFFFonly !", source, 255, 0, 0,true ) 
                return; 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end) 

[./BlackBird#]

your code works fine, maybe there are resource using onPlayerChat > cancelEvent > outputChatBox
