Hi !

I use a modded version from the "Gift and Admin Buy" plugin where you have to type "!buy" or "!points" in the chat to make the corresponding menu appear. As I know that /buy is also working and this command does NOT get broadcasted to everybody else in the game, I want to force users to use the "/buy" command. It´s so annoying people still have no clue of how to make a keybind and keep spamming the chat window permanently with non relevant stuff.

This is the .sp file now:

1. The commands:
RegConsoleCmd("buy", PointsMenu);
RegConsoleCmd("points", ShowPoints);

2. The corresponding public actions:

public Action:PointsMenu(client,args)
{
    if(pointson)
    {
        if(pointsteam[client] != SURVIVORTEAM)
        {
            InfectedPointsMenuFunc(client);
        }
        else
        {
            PointsMenuFunc(client);
        }
    }
   return Plugin_Handled;
}

public Action:ShowPoints(client,args)
{
    if(pointson)
    {
        ShowPointsFunc(client);
    }
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

I found a modded version from the "Character Select" Plugin (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showpos...1&postcount=13) where the programmer catches words from the chat and compares them with a specific word. If there´s a match, the character menu opens, if not, it does not open. Exactly what I need! So I took it and changed it, because just copy/paste his code into my plugin resulted in plenty of warnings.

This is the "character select" stuff, which i added into my .sp file:
1. the command:
RegConsoleCmd("say", Command_Say);

2. the code:

public Action:Command_Say(client, args)
{
    new String:text[192];
    GetCmdArgString(text, sizeof(text));
    new startidx = 0;
    if (text[0] == '"')
    {
        startidx = 1;
        /* Strip the ending quote, if there is one */
        new len = strlen(text);
        if (text[len-1] == '"')
        {
            text[len-1] = '\0';
        }
    }
    if (StrEqual(text[startidx], "/buy"))
    {
        CreateTimer(0.1, PointsMenu, client);
    }
    /* Block the client's message from broadcasting */
    if(StrEqual(text[startidx], "/points"))
    {
        CreateTimer(0.1, ShowPoints, client);
    }
}

The SM 1.2.0 compiler throws 2 errors:

"error 100, function prototypes do not match."
---> this is the line: CreateTimer(0.1, ShowPoints, client);
---> this is the line: CreateTimer(0.1, PointsMenu, client);

HELP please !
Be informed that I am NOT a professional C++ coder, I just reactivated some knowledge but that is too little to fix the issue

You really need to use or tags for code highlighting.

As I receive no answers I think the whole stuff might be too complex ?

Workaround: Is it possible to SUPPRESS the broadcast of the "!" commands so the chat box does not get spammed anymore ? The commands themselves should work of course.

Try this:

PHP Code:

RegConsoleCmd("say", FilterChat);
RegConsoleCmd("say_team", FilterChat);

public Action:FilterChat(client, args)
{
    if (args > 0)
    {
        decl String:szMessage[255];
        GetCmdArg(1, szMessage, sizeof(szMessage));
        TrimString(String:szMessage);
        
        if (StrEqual(szMessage, "!command_name", false))
        {
            return Plugin_Handled;
        }
    }
    
    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


Also if you want all cmds of all plugins to be silent in chat you can just configure core.cfg.
