Making a group chat for different 'teams'

So I have a sever up and coming.

I am wondering, with making sort of 'team' chats.

local function GroupMsg(ply, args)

if args == "" then return "" end

local DoSay = function(text)

if text == "" then return end

local t = ply:Team()

local audience = {}

if t == TEAM_POLICE or t == TEAM_CHIEF or t == TEAM_MAYOR then

for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do

local vt = v:Team()

if vt == TEAM_POLICE or vt == TEAM_CHIEF or vt == TEAM_MAYOR then table.insert(audience, v) end

end

elseif t == TEAM_MOB or t == TEAM_GANG then

for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do

local vt = v:Team()

if vt == TEAM_MOB or vt == TEAM_GANG then table.insert(audience, v) end

end

elseif t == TEAM_HOBO then

for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do

local vt = v:Team()

if vt == TEAM_HOBO then table.insert(audience, v) end

end

for k, v in pairs(audience) do

local col = team.GetColor(ply:Team())

TalkToPerson(v, col, LANGUAGE.group..ply:Nick(),Color(255,255,255,255), text, ply)

end

return args, DoSay

end

AddChatCommand("/g", GroupMsg)

With that code for making normal team chats, am I right in saying you can make different chat commands and link them to each group in a way?

Pretty much want a chat such as gangsters and thiefs could talk to eachother in secret with /crime hey and police and the mayor with /cp hey

local function CRIME(ply, args)

if args == "" then return "" end

local DoSay = function(text)

if text == "" then return end

local t = ply:Team()

local audience = {}

if t == TEAM_ROBBER or t == TEAM_THIEF or t == TEAM_MAFIA or t == TEAM_GANGSTER then

for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do

local vt = v:Team()

if vt == TEAM_ROBBER or vt == TEAM_THIEF or vt == TEAM_MAFIA or vt == TEAM_GANGSTER then table.insert(audience, v) end

end

for k, v in pairs(audience) do

local col = team.GetColor(ply:Team())

TalkToPerson(v, col, LANGUAGE.group..ply:Nick(),Color(255,255,255,255), text, ply)

end

return args, DoSay

end

AddChatCommand("/crime", CRIME)

is this how?

Take a look at this example https://mtxserv.com/gmod-server/doc/how-to-add-ano-command and rewrite it, so it only prints to your desired team(s).
