addCommandHandler ("s",
function(player)
getPlayerName(player)
  outputChatBox(getPlayerName(player)player":Siema!")
end
)

I want this script to output a chat message after showing who player is typing.

<player>:"Siema!" 

not

Siema! <player>

addCommandHandler ("s",
function (thePlayer)
  outputChatBox("".. getPlayerName(player) ..":Siema!")
end
)

Do you mean something like this?

Yes, but i just dont understand the.. dots! Nothing was describing them on tutorials. Can you tell me what these dots are doing? .. 

[enzopaul4]

If you want to put a function in another function , (i am not sure) you put the dots to connect the both functions.

addCommandHandler ("s",
function (thePlayer)
  outputChatBox("".. getPlayerName(thePlayer) ..":Siema!")
end
)

Try this , i think that's the right form

The double dots? It's not exactly to "connect" functions, they are string concatenation operators.

getPlayerName returns a string (the name of the player, ex "Foo"), and you concatenate then with ":siema!": "Foo"..":Siema!" = "Foo:Siema!"
