Intercept Chat Commands
Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2016 19:13How can I intercept chat commands before they run? I am trying to complete a chat filter, but would like to filter other methods of communication such as /msg commands. However, when a message is sent, my filter does not seem to be run at all. If it is, the command is running before the filter rather than after making it useless.
I would also like to edit the /ban and /shutdown commands to be more extensive and include several options. I could just create a new command, but it would be far more convenient to intercept the commands and then run the needed function as I don't need to change any privileges, and can do that through the function anyway.
My basic filter function looks like this:
I also have two other tables and for loops to register words that kick or ban the player (with xban2) using the same basic method.
Thanks!

My basic filter function looks like this:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
- Code: Select all
-- if warnable word is used
for i, word in ipairs(WARNABLE) do
minetest.register_on_chat_message(function(name, message)
local msg = message:lower()
-- ignore commands
if message:sub(1, 1) ~= "/" then
-- filter for word(s)
if msg:find(word.warn) ~= nil then
-- warn player
minetest.chat_send_player(name, 'Please do not use emotional words, including "'..word.warn..'," in the chat.')
return true -- prevent message from showing in chat
end
end
end)
end
