Chat Triggers

[Decicus]

So since I'm pretty new to Lua (I know like... the really, really basic stuff), I would like to know if it's possible to be able to make a phrase said in chat trigger something like tsay.

For example, if player 1 says "Hurr durr". I would like that phrase to trigger ULib.tsay(?) to say: "I LIKE TO HERP DERP".
If this is possible, I would be happy to get some documentation of some sort to guide me to set up this code myself (I have searched the forums a bit, but I'm not sure if I used the right keywords, and if I did, I didn't find anything).

Thanks in advance.

You'll want to hook the PlayerSay base hook. Be very careful though, doing this wrong could potentially break everything else that uses it, including all of ULX's chat commands.

a quick example of how you'd do your example would be:

Code: [Select]

function HurDerp( ply, text, _ )

if ( string.sub( string.lower(text), 1, 9 ) == "hurr durr" ) then
ULib.tsay( ply, "I LIKE TO HERP DERP")
end

end
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "HurDerp_Hook", HurDerp )
