Hello,

@xander1998 and how? :joy:

What you trying to make? Like a PM script?

Also is it done through commands.

5

@FAXES no, no commands. I’m working on a auto reply system.

Ok so how’s the message put into chat?

7

Could could use an event handler and do what you want with the chat messages. I’ll find a similar thing and link it.

This is not exactly what you want but could help…

8

You could use the chatMessage event handler and read and log certain words from the string they sent and make the code send a response if the message has certain words.

@FAXES Can you help me?

questions = {
	"write all in small letters",
	"don't use question mark (?)",
	"seperated by commas",
}

answers = {
	"This is the answer to question NR. 1 set above.",
	"Use small and big letters.",
	"Set a point (.) at the end.",
}

AddEventHandler("chatMessage", function(Source, Name, Msg)
	local line = 0
	local nope = 0
	for quest in questions do
		local line = line + 1
		if(string.find(string.lower(quest), string.lower(Msg))) then
			TriggerClientEvent("chatMessage", -1, "System", { 255, 255, 255 }, answer[line])
			TriggerClientEvent("chatMessage", -1, "System", { 255, 255, 255 }, "Maybe this is not the answer you're looking for.") 		
			CancelEvent()
		else 
			local nope = nope + 1
		end
	end
	if(nope == table.getn(questions)) then
		TriggerClientEvent("chatMessage", -1, Name, { 255, 255, 255 }, Msg)
	end
end)

Why is this not working?
