Multiple Arguments in Chat?
For my game I'm trying to make a chat command to give guns, such as "GLOCK 18". I want to fire a remote event to give the person the gun. However, I want the gun to be said as two different strings so "GLOCK" "18". So when a player types: :givetool GLOCK 18 it will fire Network.Storage.Weapon.[var][var2]. Var being GLOCK and var2 being 18. But it won't work.
Code:
if cmd == "givetool" then
local var = string.sub(msg,space+1)
local var2 = string.sub(var,space+1)
local string_1 = "Tool";
local userdata_1 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Network.Storage.Weapon.[var][var2];
local Target = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Network.AssignEntity;
Target:FireServer(string_1, userdata_1);
end
Edit:
I'm also afraid that...
local var = string.sub(msg,space+1) local var2 = string.sub(var,space+1)
...wont work either.

Use string.split(YOUR_STRING_HERE, " ")
table string.split ( string s, string separator = , )
If used on ":givetool GLOCK 18", it will split the string into a table:
local splitString = string.split(":givetool GLOCK 18", " ")
for _,str in pairs(splitString) do
print(str)
end
-- Output:
-- :givetool
-- GLOCK
-- 18
The first index of the table would be the command, everything after would be considered an argument.
