Hey guys.

I tried to get message sent to chat by client to develop a new plugin but it is not working.

PHP Code:

public Plugin myinfo = 
{
    name = "Get Message Sent To Chat By Client",
    author = PLUGIN_AUTHOR,
    description = "Get message sent to chat by client after executing the command",
    version = PLUGIN_VERSION,
    url = ""
};

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_msg", Command_Message);
}

public Action Command_Message(int client, int args)
{
    PrintToChat(client, "Send Something to chat!");
    char MessageFromClient[512];
    
    GetCmdArgString(MessageFromClient, sizeof(MessageFromClient));
    char path[512];
    BuildPath(Path_SM, path, sizeof(path), "configsadd_to_server_file1.txt");
    if (FileExists(path))
    {
        Handle file = OpenFile(path, "a");
        WriteFileLine(file, "\"%N\" \"%s\"", client, MessageFromClient);
        CloseHandle(file);
        PrintToServer("[Idea Adder] A new idea was added to '%s' by %N", path, client);
        PrintToChat(client, "[Idea Adder] Your idea was sent to the server Owner!");
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }
    return Plugin_Handled;
} 


It compiles without any errors or warnings but it does not create file and even does not send message to the server console and to client chat after client sending a message after executing the command.

How can I fix this?

PHP Code:

BuildPath(Path_SM, path, sizeof(path), "configsadd_to_server_file1.txt"); 


maybe you should do

PHP Code:

BuildPath(Path_SM, path, sizeof(path), "configs/add_to_server_file1.txt"); 


You could also improve this:

PHP Code:

WriteFileLine(file, "Player %N requested an Idea: %s", client, MessageFromClient); 


And I also can't see you creating the file before.

Hey, thanks for your reply!
I tried that but when I just do !msg it sends this to the file:

The Player SpirT sent this idea:

Else if I do "!msg This is a test"

I tried that but when I just do !msg it sends this to the file: This is a test"

Is there any way to it like waits for the player send message after executing command??

Good news, I made it to work and improved it a little.

Here it is:

Spoiler

PHP Code:

#pragma semicolon 1

#define DEBUG

#define PLUGIN_AUTHOR "SpirT + SniperHero"
#define PLUGIN_VERSION "1.0.2"

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <sdkhooks>
#include <cstrike>

#pragma newdecls required

public Plugin myinfo =  
{ 
    name = "Server Ideas", 
    author = PLUGIN_AUTHOR, 
    description = "Sends an idea by the command !idea", 
    version = PLUGIN_VERSION, 
    url = "" 
}; 

public void OnPluginStart() 
{ 
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_idea", Command_Idea); 
} 

public Action Command_Idea(int client, int args) 
{ 
    if (!args)
    {
        PrintToChat(client, "[Idea Adder] Usage: !idea <idea>"); 
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }
    
    char MessageFromClient[512]; 
    GetCmdArgString(MessageFromClient, sizeof(MessageFromClient)); 
    char path[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    char dir[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    
    BuildPath(Path_SM, dir, sizeof(dir), "data/ideas"); 
    if(!DirExists(dir))
        CreateDirectory(dir, 511);
        
    BuildPath(Path_SM, path, sizeof(path), "data/ideas/server_ideas.txt"); 
    Handle file = OpenFile(path, "a");
    if (FileExists(path))
    {
        WriteFileLine(file, "Player %N requested an Idea: %s", client, MessageFromClient); 
        CloseHandle(file); 
        PrintToServer("[Idea Adder] A new idea was added to %s by %N", path, client); 
        PrintToChat(client, "[Idea Adder] Your idea was sent to the server Owner!"); 
    } 
    return Plugin_Handled; 
} 


The file is going to be created inside data -> ideas -> server_ideas.txt
The new command is !idea.
Now it checks if the string is empty also!
