OnConsole
From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
This event is triggered when a player types a message into his console. It is also triggered when entering '/' commands via the chatbox.
Note: The event will not be triggered if the message can be processed by an existing command handler |
Parameters
string theMessage
- theMessage: a string representing the message entered into the console.
Source
The source of this event is the player that entered the message in the console. This can be a player or the server console.
Example
This example adds the yo command into the script. For example, if a player called Bob types "yo likes pie" in console, it will display "* Bob likes pie" in the chatbox.
- NOTE: this script is for example purposes only. This can be done in a more efficient way with addCommandHandler.
