GM:OnPlayerChat
Description
Called whenever a player sends a chat message. For the serverside equivalent, see GM:PlayerSay.
The text input of this hook depends on GM:PlayerSay. If it is suppressed on the server, it will be suppressed on the client. This also means, that a message surpressed with this hook will be still visible to other clients.
Arguments
Returns
Example
Code from base gamemode. See garrysmod/gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_init.lua#L139
function GM:OnPlayerChat( player, strText, bTeamOnly, bPlayerIsDead )
--
-- I've made this all look more complicated than it is. Here's the easy version
--
-- chat.AddText( player, Color( 255, 255, 255 ), ": ", strText )
--
local tab = {}
if ( bPlayerIsDead ) then
table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 30, 40 ) )
table.insert( tab, "*DEAD* " )
end
if ( bTeamOnly ) then
table.insert( tab, Color( 30, 160, 40 ) )
table.insert( tab, "(TEAM) " )
end
if ( IsValid( player ) ) then
table.insert( tab, player )
else
table.insert( tab, "Console" )
end
table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
table.insert( tab, ": "..strText )
chat.AddText( unpack(tab) )
return true
end
Example
How you could create a clientside only chat command.
hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "HelloCommand", function( ply, strText, bTeam, bDead )
if ( ply != LocalPlayer() ) then return end
strText = string.lower( strText ) -- make the string lower case
if (strText == "/hello") then -- if the player typed /hello then
print("Hello world!") -- print Hello world to the console
return true -- this suppresses the message from being shown
end
end )
Output: Prints "Hello world!" to the console when you type /hello in the chat.
