How would I make a basic command?

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

I want to make a simple command.

/test [arg1] [arg2]
I want a chat message to appear to all players when the command is ran.

[Test] [arg1] [arg2]

Preferably not in all white, maybe a little color to it.

client:

RegisterNetEvent('EventName')
AddEventHandler('EventName', function()
	TriggerEvent("chatMessage", "Sender Name", {150, 50, 180}, "text to send")
end)

server:

AddEventHandler('chatMessage', function(player, playerName, message)
    if message:sub(1) == '/test' then
        TriggerClientEvent('EventName', player)
        CancelEvent()
    end
end)

Edit for your liking
I also believe this has all you need

does not work

Did you add them to your resource file?
client_script ‘client.lua’
server_script ‘server.lua’
Did you start the resource?
Did you change any of the code and broke it?

Okay very funny. I did not mean actually “sender name: text to send” i meant /test [arg1] [arg2] and the chat output is “[Test] [arg1] [arg2]”

Elaborate what “test” is, and what the “arguments” are, so anyone might be able to decipher you lack of information and point you in the right direction.
is it like /test 1+1 = 2? <- math
or /test server shutting down in 10? <- string

User Types: /test Billy Bob
Chat output to all plyers: [Test] [username of person who issued the /test command] Billy Bob

So do that then? PlayerName … String
String = args[2]
PlayerName = source

Edit: Is this what you want?

AddEventHandler('chatMessage', function(player, playerName, message)
	local args = stringsplit(message, " ")
    if message == '/test' then
        CancelEvent()
	elseif args[1] ~= "/test" then
		CancelEvent()
    elseif args[2] ~= nil then
       	TriggerClientEvent('chatMessage', -1, playerName .. " used command /test", { 255, 0, 0 } args[2] .." ".. args[3] .. " " .. args[4])
        CancelEvent()
    end
end)

function stringsplit(self, delimiter)
	local a = self:Split(delimiter)
	local t = {}
	
	for i = 0, #a - 1 do
		table.insert(t, a[i])
	end
	
	return t
end
