I created a little script that checks whether someone wrote on the chat. When I use it, it sometimes works, but I noticed that if several messages appear, the plugin crashes.

Code:

function OnChatUserMessage(chatTypechatType, nick, msg)

    if detection1 then

 if GetUserByName(nick):IsPlayer() then

 PlaySound(GetDir() .. "silent_beep.wav");

 ShowToClient("PM Guard1", "///.");

 end

    end

    if detection2 then

 if GetUserByName(nick):IsPlayer() and chatType == 2 then 

 PlaySound(GetDir() .. "silent_beep.wav");

 ShowToClient("PM Guard2", "///.");

 end

    end

end;

detection1 and detection2 are two booleans that control whether I want to check for all messages or only for whispers. ShowToClient is used here just for debugging.

Add Check if GetUserByName(nick) is not nil

Code:

function OnChatUserMessage(chatTypechatType, nick, msg)

    if detection1 then

        if GetUserByName(nick):IsPlayer() and GetUserByName(nick) ~= nil then

            PlaySound(GetDir() .. "silent_beep.wav");

            ShowToClient("PM Guard1", "///.");

        end

    end

    if detection2 then

        if GetUserByName(nick):IsPlayer() and chatType == 2 and GetUserByName(nick) ~= nil then 

            PlaySound(GetDir() .. "silent_beep.wav");

            ShowToClient("PM Guard2", "///.");

        end

    end

end;

Works if I write something on the chat. I waited for a minute and two hero messages appeared. The plugin crashed, displayed yellow in the plugins list.

if GetUserByName(nick):IsPlayer() and GetUserByName(nick) ~= nil then

ohh god why... it should be:

if GetUserByName(nick) ~= nil and GetUserByName(nick):IsPlayer() then

Sorry, I am not so good at Lua language. What does it actually do if you write GetUserByName(nick) ~= nil? Also, is there a difference in which order you write if statement's conditions?

Seems to work now.

It will First check if the player "exist", if yes it will continue doing its job
