[ANY] Chat Trigger to Lower Case [v1.0.0 | 20-October-2020]
 

Description

This plugin automatically converts chat text to lower case when it starts with a chat trigger. ("!" or "/")

It is very useful for me, as I often make mistakes while typing a chat command in uppercase, causing the command to not be recognized.

I did this plugin a long time ago, but during this time a similar one was released [ANY] !COMMAND eater by Dragokas,
which helped me a lot to improve the coding and I highly recommend using it if you have more specific needs.

Features

• Convert chat text to lower case.
• Read chat triggers directly from sourcemod core config. (sourcemod/configs/core.cfg => PublicChatTrigger and SilentChatTrigger)

Chat message examples

• "!slay @ALL" converts into "!slay @all"
• "!Kick @Bots" converts into "!kick @bots"
• "!NOCLIP Mart" converts into "!noclip mart"

Cvars

A configuration file named "chat_trigger_lowercase.cfg" will automatically be created for you upon the first run in the "\cfg\sourcemod\" folder.

Admin Commands

• sm_chat_trigger_lowercase_reload => Reload the chat triggers config. (z flag required)
• sm_print_cvars_chat_trigger_lowercase => Print the plugin related cvars and their respective values to the console. (z flag required)

I like it! I was shocked at the number of times a player would put a random uppercase in a command then wonder why it didn't work. Lmao
