== How to make commands ==

This is more of a scripting tutorial.

== Introduction ==
This tutorial teaches you how to use <code>function onChatted</code>. 
The scripts below only work on script builder. 
== Beginning ==
First you need to be a good enough scripter or else you can't understand the code below. 
The first line is the person you want to have commands.
<pre>
vip = game.Players.[your name here]
</pre>
Next you put this line in. This line makes a function that uses your chatted messages.
<pre>
function onChatted(msg)
</pre>
Now we need to put what message we need to say to activate the command. To do that use this line:
<pre>
if msg == "hi" then
local m = Instance.new("Message")
m.Parent = game.Workspace
m.Text = "hi"
wait(2)
m:remove()
end
</pre>
Theres no limit of how many commands you can make. After your done put this on the very end of your script. This connects your voice to the script so the script can work.
<pre>
end
vip.Chatted:connect(onChatted)
</pre>

=== The finished script ===
Here are the finished commands script we made so far.

<pre>
vip = game.Players.[your name here]

function onChatted(msg)
if msg == "hi" then
local m = Instance.new("Message")
m.Parent = game.Workspace
m.Text = "hi"
wait(2)
m:remove()
end
end

vip.Chatted:connect(onChatted)
</pre>

There are some problems here. The script only works in a script builder. To enable it in your place you have to use <code>function onPlayerAdded</code> which that may come later. TODO: Write about <code>function onPlayerAdded</code>

== Advanced ==
Lets say that you want to modify a value of something. You could keep putting <code>if msg == "do/1" then ... if msg == "do/2" then</code> but that wont work good. Its time to learn about <code>string.sub</code>. To do this, examine this block of code:
<pre>
if (string.sub(msg,1,3) == "do/") then
a = string.sub(msg,4)
end
</pre>
So when you say '''do/7''', <code>a</code> will be set to 7. Lets take a look at this string.sub.
<pre>
if (string.sub(msg,1,3) == "do/") then
</pre>
In this line you see three numbers. The third one is what you need. Count the letters on the string on the right.
<pre>
a = string.sub(msg,4)
</pre>
Same line here. But all you need is to put one number up from the previous line.

== Expert ==
<code>function onChatted(msg, recipient, speaker)</code> is a more complicated technique of the <code>onChatted</code> function. It's useful for when you're trying to refer to or modify the "speaker", which is the person who is chatting the message. The example I'm going to set is the commonly used talky regen script.

<pre>
model = game.Workspace.ModelName -- Name of the model you're going to regenerate
backup = model:clone() -- makes a backup copy of your model, which you will use later

function onChatted(msg, recipient, speaker)

local source = string.lower(speaker.Name) -- Converts name of speaker to lowercase
msg = string.lower(msg) -- This will make the script non-caps sensitive. "regen" or "Regen" or "rEgEN" will all work.

if (msg == "regen") then -- Word you have to say to regen; message can NOT have caps or spaces

model:remove()
model = backup:clone()
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model:makeJoints()
end

end

-- The content below is absolutely necessary for this script; don't delete it or it won't work.

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg, recipient) onChatted(msg, recipient, newPlayer) end)
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

</pre>

===FAQs===

Are you having trouble making this script work?

Hint: Try deleting your model with the laser in online mode first, then using the regen script with the "regen" keyword.

== Suicide and Team Change ==

This script will make use of the argument known as "speaker". This script is basically a secondary form of the Reset tool. When the speaker says "suicide", he will respawn.

<pre>
function onChatted(msg, speaker)

source = string.lower(speaker.Name)
msg = string.lower(msg)
-- Note: This one is NOT caps sensitive

if msg == "suicide" then
speaker.Character.Head:remove() -- The name says it all; the character dies.
end
end

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg) onChatted(msg, newPlayer) end)
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)
</pre>

With this in mind, you can improve the script even more. This script is a talk-to-join script. Simply say "join reds" or "join blues" to switch teams. This is the same script used in Ultimate Paintball CTF by miked.

Tip: You can't change teams while still standing on a SpawnLocation from another team with this script. You'll just die, and regenerate as the same color.

<pre>
function onChatted(msg, speaker)

--you need capitals

source = string.lower(speaker.Name)

--the below "if then" statement is necessary for this script.
if string.sub(msg, 1, 4) == "join" then
local team = game.Teams:findFirstChild(string.sub(msg, 6))
if team ~= nil then
speaker.TeamColor = team.TeamColor
wait(0.1)
speaker.Character.Head:Remove()
end
end

if msg == "join reds" then
speaker.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(21) --Changes speaker's team color to red
speaker.Character.Head:remove() --Kills the player to make the switch

elseif msg == "join blues" then
speaker.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(23) --Changes speaker's team color to blue
speaker.Character.Head:remove() --Kills the player to make the switch
end
end

--Again, you need this last part.

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg) onChatted(msg, newPlayer) end)
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

</pre>

As you can see, there are many uses for the new variables. As you just learned, you can use them to modify the person who's chatting the message (such as team color). This isn't the only use for the variables; use this guide to make your own unique scripts using the variables of <code>speaker</code>, <code>recipient</code>, and <code>msg</code>. How you can use them is up to you. If you have excellent scripting knowledge, you'll be able to make good use from the variables.

== Adding pre-existing Command Scripts ==

=== Introduction ===
The Commands script is used to allow for voice commands for various things, such as making random explosions, or changing the time of day.

end

-- Below is only for me
if (source ~= "lavamaster") then return end

If you want to "learn" these commands, then here you go.

<pre>
if (msg == "freeze") then
local c = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i=1,#c do
if (string.lower(c[i].Name) ~= "username") then --Change username to your name.
if (c[i].Character ~= nil and c[i].Character.Humanoid ~= nil) then
c[i].Character:FindFirstChild("Torso").Anchored = true

</pre>

This "freezes" players, by anchoring the torso.

<pre>

if (string.lower(c[i].Name) ~= "username")

</pre>

This finds the name of the character.

<pre>

if (c[i].Character ~= nil and c[i].Character.Humanoid ~= nil) then

</pre>

This gets the character...

<pre>

c[i].Character:FindFirstChild("Torso").Anchored = true

</pre>

And this anchors that character's torso.

The "thaw" works the same, but instead, "Unanchors" the torso of the character.
