How to make a SIMPLE command script

Administrator Posts : 878 Join date : 2010-07-30

There really is know simple way to make a command script, but we can make a simplified one. Here is a short reset command script:

Code:: game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(newPlayer) --when an new player enters...
newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg) --they can chat to activate the function...
   if msg:lower() == "reset" then --and if they said "reset"...
      if newPlayer.Character then --and they have a character,
         newPlayer.Character:BreakJoints() --then you die
      end
   end
end)
end)

There are better ways to organize this kind of script if there are multiple commands, if you want to know how, please ask...

Moved it to a better suited forum(The intermediate one).

You should break down and explain the script, so they don't just copy and paste.

there, it is fixed (I think)

yep. This would give people a great start to chat commands!

Personally i would not have used an anonymous function. Mainly because it is not as neat as the declared functions. Plus, i think it would be easier to use the declared function instead. Thus giving you more room and less confusion over what goes where.

If I wrote it, I know exactly what it says. My scripting style is just extremely messy.

lol, most of the time my scripts don't make sense to people cuz my vats are abbreviated and shorted.
eg: Player becomes pl. :P

Workspace becomes "W", Lighting becomes "L", etc... If you were to read one of my more large scripts you wouldn't be able to get very far.

well my variables are declared in alphabetical order AND compressed. so if i declared Workspace, Lighting, SoundService all in order it would be something like this:

a=workspace b=game.Lighting c=game.SoundService

so my in line scripting would just keep going until it reaches the maximum length of the line. oh, and i count my code length in commands. and this script is 3 lines long

if you used "a=workspace" then any smart virus could break that script ;)

Was that sarcasm? If not, yes I write very messy but as long as the job gets done, no one cares.

Great tutorial, though you could explain it a lot better. I know what your tkling about but do you think others might?

That is why it isn't in the beginners section. Of course who is to say what is what difficulty.

True, thought I thought this was complicated when I first came here. So who can judge, I guess they can learn off of it.

personally I think that his use for anonymous functions was fine, since he was only using the code in that function once!
