player.chat.starts with switch()

I know you can do something like,

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerChats(){
  if(player.chat.starts("test"){
     // bla bla bla
  }
}

but why can't you do something like this?

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerChats(){
   switch (player.chat.starts){
     case "test": // or case "("test")": ?
        // bla bla bla
     break;
   }
}

might be a really simple solution, but idk it's been bugging me for a while

try something like

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated(){

  this.prefix = "what chat should start with";

} 

function onPlayerChats(){

  if(player.chat.starts(this.prefix)){

    switch(player.chat.substring(this.prefix.length())){

      case "test": break;

      case default : break;

    }

  }

}

PHP Code:


		
			
function onPlayerChats(){

   temp.txt = player.chat.tokenize()[0];

   switch (txt){

     case "test": // or case "("test")":

        // bla bla bla

     break;

   }

}

Should work.

Because string.starts(substring) is a function that returns either true or false, depending on whether the string begins with substring or not; making it useless in a switch statement.

Usually I check a substring from position 0 to the position the first space is at

PHP Code:


		
			
switch (player.chat.substring(0, player.chat.pos(" "))) {

  case  "herp":  derp();  break;

  case  "tick":  tock();  break;

}
