Quick question about the else/if part though.


if (SERVER) then
        AddCSLuaFile("autorun/tags.lua")
end
 
if (CLIENT) then
function Insert( pl, msg )
                local tab = {}
        if pl:IsUserGroup("headmanagement") then
                table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 0, 0, 255 ) )
                        table.insert( tab, "[Head Management] " )
                table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) )
                        table.insert( tab, pl:Nick() )
                        table.insert( tab, ": " )

        end
chat.AddText( unpack(tab) )
return true
        end
end
hook.Add("OnPlayerChat", "InsertTags", Insert)


I'm getting the error: /tags.lua.lua:0
[ERROR] lua/autorun/tags.lua.lua:8: unfinished string near '"headmanagement) then'  1. unknown - lua/autorun/tags.
What is this?

Try this...

btw.. do you use something like Notepad++ to edit your lua? Your tabulation is atrocious. lol

Code: [Select]
if (SERVER) then
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/tags.lua")
end

if (CLIENT) then
function Insert( pl, msg )
local tab = {}
if pl:IsUserGroup("headmanagement") then
table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 0, 0, 255 ) )
table.insert( tab, "[Head Management] " )
table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) )
table.insert( tab, pl:Nick() )
table.insert( tab, ": " )
table.insert( tab, msg )
elseif pl:IsUserGroup("leadmanagement") then
table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 0, 0, 255 ) )
table.insert( tab, "[Lead Management] " )
table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) )
table.insert( tab, pl:Nick() )
table.insert( tab, ": " )
table.insert( tab, msg )

Notepad++ is fine. Just keep your lines together.
Also, in case you missed what MrPresident did, from your error, your missing the closing quotation mark.
'"headmanagement) then' should have been  '"headmanagement") then'
Also, why use so many table.inserts?
Table manipulation is time consuming (for any programming language, even Lua).
It would be better, optimization wise, to use this ...
Code: [Select]
elseif pl:IsUserGroup("management") then
table.insert( tab, Color( 255, 0, 0, 255 ) .. "[Management] " .. Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) .. pl:Nick() .. ": " .. msg )
elseif ...
 than what you're doing currently.
Look up "lua concatenation".
Those ".." bring together many string items.

It's necessary to do it the way he currently is. The color objects are not strings, and chat.AddText wants a list of string or color objects.

Sorry I'm very new to this.  I've been going through the tutorials but im not done yet! :) Also, how do I get it to say |TEAM| when they talk in team chat and |DEAD| When dead players are talking? Would this work?


                if ( pl:Alive == false ) 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
