Whoops, my bad. I forgot this was client side for a second.

function advert(_, ...) 
    local localPlayerName = getPlayerName(localPlayer) 
    local msg = table.concat({...}, " ") 
    for _, v in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        outputChatBox("#FF0000[ADVERT]"..localPlayerName..": "..msg, 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("advert", advert)

They're called arguments. Think of it as giving someone instructions. You can tell them to do more specific things by explaining it further. Take the code below:

function freeze() 
    setElementFrozen(getPlayerFromName("Noki")) 
end 
freeze() 

Will freeze a player. However, if you want to toggle freeze, you can use an argument to specify.

function freeze(state) 
    setElementFrozen(getPlayerFromName("Noki"), state) 
end 
freeze(true) 
freeze(false)

I can write what i want? in ur code i can replace from State to freeze, Example ?

You won't be able to change state to freeze, as freeze is the function's name. You'll need to use a variable that currently isn't in use.
