Problems with giving access to commands?

Asked 277 views1 answers
chattable = {}

function inlist(Plr)
	for key,player in pairs(chattable) do
		if Plr.Name == player then return true end
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(newPlayer)
	if newPlayer:IsInGroup(508662) then 
		newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(chatmsg)
		if chatmsg:sub(1,17) == "Give Commands to " then 
			local player = chatmsg:sub(18, chatmsg:len())
			if game.Players:FindFirstChild(player) then
				table.insert(chattable, player)
			end
		end	
		end)
	end
end)

function Persons(Plr)
	if ingroup(Plr) or inlist(Plr) then
		Plr.Chatted:connect(function(Msg,rec) Chatted(Plr,Msg) end)
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(Persons)

Plr = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#Plr do
	Persons(Plr[i])
end

The first function shows the part where it checks to see if a person's name is in the chattable. The second function shows the part where admins can add people to this chattable list. The only problem is: it's not working. I'm pretty sure I called it correctly in the last function, but I may be wrong. Can someone help me and explain to me why this doesn't work? Thanks. (By the way, ignore the ingroup(Plr) part. It doesn't relate to this issue.)

You're trying to call any anonymous function.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(newPlayer) -- These are anonymous.
    if newPlayer:IsInGroup(508662) then 
        newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(chatmsg) -- These are anonymous.
        if chatmsg:sub(1,17) == "Give Commands to " then 
            local player = chatmsg:sub(18, chatmsg:len())
            if game.Players:FindFirstChild(player) then
                table.insert(chattable, player)
            end
        end 
        end)
    end
end)

function Persons(Plr)
    if ingroup(Plr) or inlist(Plr) then
        Plr.Chatted:connect(function(Msg,rec) Chatted(Plr,Msg) end)
    end
end

Try using named functions.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(newPlayer) 
    if newPlayer:IsInGroup(508662) then 
        function Chatted(chatmsg) -- Named.
        if chatmsg:sub(1,17) == "Give Commands to " then 
            local player = chatmsg:sub(18, chatmsg:len())
            if game.Players:FindFirstChild(player) then
                table.insert(chattable, player)
            end
        end 
        end
        newPlayer.Chatted:connect(Chatted(chatmsg))
    end
end)

There may be a syntax error, I was going quick. If you get any errors in the output, reply to me.

Also, give this a read, it should have information on anonymous functions. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Function

There's an error with the chatmsg part on 11. It says, "Unknown global 'chatmsg'"
