I need help

[Hero192]

Hey guys, I am doing anti spam system,

and if the text is equal to msg already stored in messages table,

but I want to allow just the text "leave" can be spammed, how can do it?

local bool = false 
local messages = {} 
  
for i, v in pairs(messages) do 
        local msg = v[1] 
        if text == msg then   
            bool = true  
            break 
       end   
end   
if bool == true then return end 
--code..

you can add this line

  
if not text == "leave" then

where shall I add it?

Not working anyone?

First, are you sure that the current code is working ??

It looks like you truncated some parts needed for that code to work.

A code should be working before extending it.

Its just a part of my code and its working fine, but I want only "leave" can be spammed

Event: OnPlayerChat

if msg == "leave" then cancelEvent

That's all you have to do ..

well, your code is unclear, so add it before the code line that checks for text content, and dont forget to use end after the if statment

Hmmm okay then just replace this line:

if text == msg then 

by this line:

if text == msg and text ~= "leave" then 

or this line if you don't want it to be case-sensitive:

if text == msg and string.lower(text) ~= "leave" then

worked tnx,

one more simple question, I just want to be sure of it,

Is it possible to make a message visible on all players by using root in client side?

No, on the client-side, the function signature of outputChatBox is:

bool outputChatBox ( string text [, int r=231, int g=217, int b=176, bool colorCoded=false ] ) 

and doesn't accept the visibleTo like the server-side version.

If you need to do it from the client side, you have to use triggerServerEvent on an event you will create on the server-side and use that event to call a function in which you will use your outputChatBox.
