Solved Getting player in the OnPlayerChat hook (Lua)

How do I get the player who wrote anything, in the OnPlayerChat hook?
just adding player to the hook doesn't work:

Code:

function PLUGIN:OnPlayerChat(arg, player)
     print("[" .. player.displayName .. "]: " .. arg)
end

--------------------------

I also think that simply using the arg variable here wouldn't work like this, would it?
Does it work the same way as the way to use in commands?
message = tostring(arg[0]) for example?

 

Code:

local player = arg.connection.player

 

so the arg actually isn't ment to be the args of the written msg, is it?

 

Its a ConsoleSystem.Arg

So, is there a way to get the written message with it? Im looking into the decompiled data for it at the moment, but im not sure with it.
I found this but im not sure if it is what im searching for:

Thanks
[DOUBLEPOST=1429627451][/DOUBLEPOST]Okay that works fine thanks, but I can't get it to stop the original message from being in the chat.

Code:

function PLUGIN:OnPlayerChat(arg, player)
     local message = arg:GetString(0, "text")
     local player = arg.connection.player
     print("[" .. player.displayName .. "]: " .. message)
return
end

return does not work, let me guess... Am I doing a simple failure?

And also, is it possible to get the player icon and use it with rust.BroadcastChat?
- would need that for my Player Talk plugin ^^

 

You need to get player as BasePlayer, cause arg.connection.player returns MonoBehavior

 

so you mean just
player = BasePlayer? or arg.BasePlayer? or arg.connection.BasePlayer
anyway however I do it, it does not work.

 

Not neccessary in lua. Its working the way i posted.

 

well whats the problem then?

 

The answer to how to cancel the default chat can be found in the docs. A hint: returning nothing in lua means you returning null

For the player icon: The icon is simply pulled by the steamID. The syntax for that can also be found in the docs.

 

these?
