[JamiePlaysMinecraft]

I have this code and i want to make it more efficient / shorter
yeah-

function extraCheck(p: player):
    {@Emojis} = true:
        {_p} has permission "{@Perm}.admin":
            replace all ":skull:" with "☠" in {m}
            replace all "<3" with "{@NoPermColor}❤&f" in {m}
            replace all ":sob:" with "☹" in {m}
            replace all ":sad:" with "☹" in {m}
            replace all ":(" with "☹" in {m}
            replace all "D:" with "☹" in {m}
            replace all ":happy:" with "☺" in {m}
            replace all ":D" with "☺" in {m}
    {@Pings} = true:
        clear {pinged::%{_p}%'s uuid::*}
        {_p} has permission "{@Perm}.pinggroups":
            {m} contains "@dead" or "@dead kids" or "@deadkids":
                add "Dead Players" to {pinged::%{_p}%'s uuid::*}
                replace all "@dead" with "&b@dead&f" in {m}
                replace all "&b@dead&fkids" with "&b@deadkids&f" in {m}
                replace all "&b@dead&f kids" with "&b@dead kids&f" in {m}
                play sound "{@Sound1}" to {dead::*}
                send actionbar "&bYou were pinged by %{_p}%" to {dead::*}
            {m} contains "@alive" or "@alive kids" or "@alivekids":
                add "Alive Players" to {pinged::%{_p}%'s uuid::*}
                replace all "@alive" with "&b@alive&f" in {m}
                replace all "&b@alive&fkids" with "&b@alivekids&f" in {m}
                replace all "&b@alive&f kids" with "&b@alive kids&f" in {m}
                play sound "{@Sound1}" to {alive::*}
                send actionbar "&bYou were pinged by %{_p}%" to {alive::*}
            {m} contains "@all" or "@everyone" or "@kids":
                clear {pinged::%{_p}%'s uuid::*}
                add "Everyone" to {pinged::%{_p}%'s uuid::*}
                replace all "@all" with "&b@all&f" in {m}
                replace all "@everyone" with "&b@everyone&f" in {m}
                replace all "@kids" with "&b@kids&f" in {m}
                play sound "{@Sound1}" to all players
                send actionbar "&bYou were pinged by %{_p}%" to all players
        {_p} has permission "{@Perm}.pingplayer":
            loop all players:
                if loop-player does not have permission "{@Perm}.pingbypass":
                    {m} contains loop-player's display name:
                        replace all loop-player's display name with "&b@%loop-player's display name%&f" in {m}
                        add loop-player to {pinged::%{_p}%'s uuid::*}
                    replace all "@&b@%loop-player's display name%" with "&b@%loop-player's display name%" in {m}
            size of {pinged::%{_p}%'s uuid::*} > 0:
                send actionbar "&bPinged %{pinged::%{_p}%'s uuid::*}%!" to {_p}

Why are you doing this in a function?

 

[JamiePlaysMinecraft]

uh- i dont know tbh..

 

[The Phill]

I mean you can make the emoji section shorter by doing like

replace all ":(", "D:", and ":sad:" with "☹" in {m}

Also I feel like {m} should be a local variable and then your function returns {_m} at the end

you could use a lookup to ping groups to collapse the size
