Hi, i'm working on a "auto respond" script, but i don't know how to count new messages on my chat, is there any function for this?

Hello.

I just replied your private message.

(COPY)

local messages = getnewmessages()
print(#messages) -- prints elements count.

But if you are going to loop, you can use ipairs as well.

(COPY)

local messages = getnewmessages()
for _, msg in ipairs(messages) do
     if msg.content == 'hi' then
          say('hi')
          wait(1000, 1500)
     end
end
