Example:

Player:SendBroadcastMessage("Test Message")
Target:SendUnitSay("Test Message", 0)

Code:

function CMD_Handler( event, player, msg )
	if (player:GetGMRank() >= 1) and string.sub(msg, 1, 1) == "#" then
		local chunk, errors = load(string.sub(msg, 2, msg:len()))

		if errors then
			print(errors)
			player:SendBroadcastMessage("[ERROR]: "..errors)
		else
			Player = player or nil
			Target = player:GetSelection() or nil
			xpcall(chunk, function(ok, errors) print(ok, errors) end)
		end

		return false
	end
end

RegisterPlayerEvent(18, CMD_Handler)
RegisterPlayerEvent(19, CMD_Handler)
RegisterPlayerEvent(20, CMD_Handler)
RegisterPlayerEvent(21, CMD_Handler)
RegisterPlayerEvent(22, CMD_Handler)

Not sure if it's useful, but thanks for sharing the knowledge !

Thanks for sharing with us! However, instead of spam registering all the chat functions why not use the actual player command event?

PLAYER_EVENT_ON_COMMAND                 =     42,       // (event, player, command)

For this, it already uses "." for the initiation of a specific command so it lifts the purpose of other symbols like "#", and this event overall is ideal and recommended for player commands.

Tommy, It is possible and so. I am used to "#"

Heh, didn't ask if it was possible (confused? D, just pointed out that you could use that event and not register so many other events since it isn't more efficient the current way you have it. Regardless, as I said, I was pointing it out as another approach/option.

Nonetheless, thanks for sharing, it is appreciated.
