Argument check not working properly

Hello!

Any idea why my webhook argument check isn’t working correctly? If I say !help, it keeps getting sent as the SendWebhookCMD argument, therefore it sends the ChatlogsModule.SendWebhook(contentTable, "WebhookCMD") instead of the HelpRequestModule.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local ChatlogsModule = require(ServerStorage:WaitForChild("WebhookModules"):WaitForChild("ChatlogsModule"))
local HelpRequestModule = require(ServerStorage:WaitForChild("WebhookModules"):WaitForChild("HelpRequestModule"))
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
		local contentTable = {
			plr.DisplayName;
			plr.Name;
			plr.UserId;
			message;
		}
		local HelpContentTable = {
			plr.DisplayName;
			plr.Name;
			plr.UserId;
		}
		local Argument = ""
		local words = string.split(message, " ")
		local prefix = message:sub(1,1)
		if prefix == ":" or prefix == "!" or prefix == "/" and words[1] ~= "!help" then -- CLASSIC COMMAND
			Argument = "SendWebhookCMD"
		elseif prefix == "!" and words[1] == "!help" then -- HELP REQUEST COMMAND
			Argument = "HelpRequest"
		elseif prefix ~= ":" and prefix ~= "!" and prefix ~= "/" and words[1] ~= "!help" then -- NORMAL MESSAGE
			Argument = "SendWebhook"
		end
		if not plr then return end
		if Argument == "" then return end
		if plr and Argument == "SendWebhook" and contentTable ~= nil then
			ChatlogsModule.SendWebhook(contentTable, "Webhook")
		elseif plr and Argument == "SendWebhookCMD" and contentTable ~= nil then
			ChatlogsModule.SendWebhook(contentTable, "WebhookCMD")
		elseif plr and Argument == "HelpRequest" and HelpContentTable ~= nil then
			HelpRequestModule.SendWebhook(HelpContentTable)
		end
	end)
end)

Here you’re basically saying that.
If the prefix is : or
the prefix is ! or
if the prefix is / and words[1] ~= !help then

It’s not actually checking the “and” for all of em.

so when the player sends !, it meets the requirement and sets the argument as a SendWebhookCMD.

Ah, alright. So what do you suggest me to do? Make another if check under this line (inside the first if check basically), or?

Well, you’re using elseif statements, so I would probably just do the messy solution and…

if prefix == “:” and words[1] ~= “!help” or prefix == “!” and words[1] ~= “!help” or prefix == “/” and words[1] ~= “!help” then
