Some lua problems.

    I've tried many different lua plugins for the answers but none seem to work for what I need it for or It isn't simple enough for me to grasp. What I think is the argument is sent into a table and read from there for the 1st issue.

    1. Basically I need a function that outputs messages depending on the result so if someone types /test it outputs specific data and if someone typed /test 1 another set of data.

    2. Another is I need something like
    Code:
    function PLUGIN:cmdTesty(player)
    rust.SendChatMessage(player, "<color="/self.Config.TopColor/">", self.Config.TopMsg, "</color>")
end
    but obviously this doesn't work so I'm not sure how to get customisable coloured text like that.

    I appriciate the help I've been given in the past and I'm always trying to implement low level ideas like this.

    For the first, you'd need to hook into OnRunCommand and listen for the specific command.

    For the second, you aren't inserting the config variable properly.
    Code:
    function PLUGIN:cmdTesty(player)
    rust.SendChatMessage(player, "<color=" .. self.Config.TopColor .. ">" .. self.Config.TopMsg .. "</color>")
end

    I tried
    Code:
    function PLUGIN:cmdTesty(player, _, args)
    if not player then return end
    local which = args[1]
    if which == "" then
    rust.SendChatMessage(player, "main")
    return
    end
end
    based off the pm plugin but it don't work. What am i missing?

    args[0] would actually be the first arg if you are only using one.
    Code:
    function PLUGIN:cmdTesty(player, cmd, args)
    if not player then return end
    if args[0] == "hello" then
        rust.SendChatMessage(player, "hello")
        return
    end
end
