How to use string.sub?
I am trying to make a prefix to this, but I do not know how..
How would I make a Prefix to the followng?
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(function(Player)
if Player:IsA("Player") then
if Player.Name == "Player" then
Player.Chatted:connect(function(Test)
end)
end
end
end)
I really need help on this, and it would be appreciated if helped.

string.find(":") and then check to make sure it's the first thing said, and then do string.sub() for everything after the ":". Legojoker 345 — 8y

Easy,
if Test:sub(1,1) == ":" then -- If the first character is a :
Test=Test:sub(2) -- Change the message to the letter after the prefix
if Test=="a" then -- If you said :a
print'a' -- print "a" to the console
end -- Ends the if Test=="a"
end -- Ends the if Test:sub(1,1) == ":"
If you have any problems, tell me, if you want a more efficient method though:
local Commands={}
AddCommand=function(name,desc,usage,func)
Commands[name]={Note=desc,Say=usage,Function=func}
end
Chatted=function(p)
p.Chatted:connect(function(m)
table.foreach(Commands, function(i,v)
if m:sub(1,1+#v.Say) == ":"..v.Say then
v.Function(p,m;sub(2+#v.Say)
end
end)
end)
end
game:service'Players'.PlayerAdded:connect(Chatted)
-- EXAMPLE FOR ADDCOMMAND (This outputs all commands in an orange/yellow font)
AddCommand("Commands","Gets all cmds", "cmds", function(p)
print(p.Name)
for i,v in next, Commands do
warn(i,v.Note,v.Say,"F"..tostring(v.Function:sub(2)))
end
end)
These aren't tested, just an FYI
