Chat /clear does it exist or do I need to make it?

I’m looking for a /clear command for chat, is this already made or do I need to make it?

You need to make it yourself, don’t think anyone has made/released a version here.

Okay cheers, I did some searching. Just wanted to check, rather than making one when someone has released one.

Pretty sure all you need to do is trigger this client event chat:clear
So a very simple client script example would be:

client.lua

RegisterCommand('clear', function()
    TriggerEvent('chat:clear')
end, false)

Haven’t tested it but I think it should work just fine.
(This’d clear it just for the user that ran the command btw, not for all players currently online)

yeah, I’m just trying to set it as a whole server function, which requires admin permissions.

local admin = {}

AddEventHandler('chat:clear', function(source, name, msg)
	player = GetPlayerIdentifiers(source)[1]
	local result = MySQL.Sync.fetchAll(
	  'SELECT * FROM users WHERE identifier = @identifier',
	  {
		['@identifier'] = player
	  }
	)
	for i=1, #result, 1 do
	
		local sm = stringsplit(msg, " ");
		if sm[1] == "/clear" then     
			if #admin == 0 then
				 TriggerClientEvent('chatMessage', source, "^1SYSTEM", {255, 0, 0}, "Insufficient Permissions!")
			else
				if result[i].group == 'superadmin' or 'admin' then
					for _,id in ipairs(admin) do
						TriggerEvent('chat:clear')
						CancelEvent()
					end
				else
					TriggerClientEvent('chatMessage', source, "^1SYSTEM", {255, 0, 0}, "Insufficient Permissions!")
				end
			end
		end
	end
end, false)



RegisterServerEvent('serverjoin')
AddEventHandler('serverjoin', function()
	local id = source
	local player = GetPlayerIdentifiers(id)[1]
	local result = MySQL.Sync.fetchAll(
	  'SELECT * FROM users WHERE identifier = @identifier',
	  {
		['@identifier'] = player
	  }
	)
	
	for i=1, #result, 1 do
		if result[i].group == 'superadmin' or 'admin' then
			table.insert(admin, id)
		end
	end
end)

function stringsplit(inputstr, sep)
    if sep == nil then
        sep = "%s"
    end
    local t={} ; i=1
    for str in string.gmatch(inputstr, "([^"..sep.."]+)") do
        t[i] = str
        i = i + 1
    end
    return t
end

Just use @Vespura 's function and replace the false with true. Boom. You have now made it so people need the permission set in the server config (the aces seen at the bottom of the example config).

There’s no need to put this on the server, do some shit to the chat message event and run an SQL query. You’re vastly overcomplicating this.

If you want one command to clear the chat for everyone then yes you need to make it serverside.
