[Help] Removing MTA command like /me

[VParker]

So,i want to remove the command /me from my server,but the scripts i've seen on the internet,and the one i done myself didn't work,so i'm asking for your help.

This is the script that is not working: 

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root,
function(cmd)
    if cmd = "me" then 
        cancelEvent () 
    end 
end)

What did i do wrong? There is a pink /me command in the vanilla MTA server,that's what i am looking forward to disable for roleplay. (I want to make my own /me command)

You have to use cancelEvent in the onPlayerChat event if messageType == 1 and place your /me related code there.

So,can you like write down the fixed script? Because i dont really know where to put what you said..

Example 1 on the wiki for onPlayerChat is perfect for what you are trying to achieve because all you have to di is remove some lines of code from it.

[VParker]

Not really helpful if i dont even know what lines should i delete. Instead of wasting my and your time,just maybe,tell which lines to delete? or where to add text to my script. I am not an experienced scripter,sorry.

why not.

[Mr.Loki]

Well this is the best way to learn unless you want to keep asking others for help when you can help yourself.

Its all about thinking logically about how you want the script to run and a bit of trial and error which will help you understand way more.

Your code above is a good start but onPlayerChat has 2 Parameters:

string message, int messageType

you would need to change cmd because it is in the position of the message parameter and add the message type after it

function( message, messageType )

You can now use the messageType to determine if the message was a:

• 0: normal message
• 1: action message (/me)
• 2: team message

Since you want to disable "1" which is /me aka action message you will need to check for it

if messageType == 1 then

now that it's an action message you want to cancel it using cancelEvent

cancelEvent()

 

and that's basically it, pretty simple right?

Well,you are right about the learning part,but its easier to learn from someone then learn from yourself. ^^"

But,it's still not working,maybe i misunderstood you. welp. I'll provide the edited script,because maybe im just stupid. 

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root,
function( message,messageType )
    if messageType == 1 then 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
end)

Use the code button < > to make code easily readable:

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root,
function( message,messageType )
    if messageType == 1 then 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
end)

This code works fine for me. Are you running the code Server side?

[VParker]

Yes.

[nikitafloy]

Shut down player use this command in ACL. 

[VParker]

Hmm. Good idea,im going to try that now,but if i make a resource where the command is /me,will i be able to use that?

[Infinity#]

function disableCommand(command)
if command == "me" then
cancelEvent()
end
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerCommand", root, disableCommand)

This should definitely work.

[Mr.Loki]

Yes you would, but only if you set the restricted argument to false.

[VParker]

Well. I have freaking tried everything. I have added the script of SARSRPG after removing the restriction in ACL. No luck,didnt work. But if i disabled it in ACL i couldn't use my own /me command. So we are kinda back at the beginning. And yes,i cant use anything else for /me,because that not how everybody's used to it. Maybe i should try reinstalling my server? Because now im all out of ideas.

[koragg]

-- Remove /me chat
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, function ( _, tp )
    if ( tp == 1 ) then
    	outputChatBox("/me messages are disabled in this server", source, 255, 0, 0)
        cancelEvent ( )
    end
end )

 

[VParker]

Your's worked koragg,but i want to use my own /me script,and i cant use it if your script is active.

[Mr.Loki]

Use @koragg code and modify the /me command like this:

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, function ( msg, tp )
    if ( tp == 1 ) then
        cancelEvent ( )
      	-- Add your /me code here for example:
      	outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source)..": "..msg,root,255,255,0)
    end
end )

 

[VParker]

I Love you man. Thanks. Its working just fine. I'll send a PM to you.

[Mr.Loki]
