Im making a custom command system, which also includes a announcement command.

heyyy :announce yo, hi guy!

input: “yo, hi guy!”

“:command” is obviously matching “:command”

%s matches a white space or a space

And .+ matches all letters after the space

Should work but I can’t test rn

If you’d like to tweak it, learn more about string patterns here:

String Patterns - What on earth are they?

The Usage of String Patterns Search and Identify: You can create patterns to search for specific text within strings. For instance, you could use a string pattern to find all player n…

And I am aware I could use sub patterns instead of string.gsub

but I’m too lazy to do it unless you really want me to do it
