Admin setnick

[Georges1999]

Hello, i was trying to create a script and i got stuck somewhere inside it. 

the script's idea is to allow an admin to change a player's nickname.

outputDebugString("line 1 is good")
function asetnick1(playerSource, commandName, thePlayer, newname)
	 local pName = getPlayerName (playerSource)
	 local sPName = setPlayerName (playerSource, newname)
	 local accName = getAccountName( getPlayerAccount ( playerSource ) )
	 if (playerSource) then
		if isObjectInACLGroup("user." ..accName,aclGetGroup( "Admin" ) ) then
			if isObjectInACLGroup("user." ..accName,aclGetGroup( "Console" ) ) then
			outputDebugString("line 9 is working")
	else outputChatBox("You're not an Admin!",playerSource, 255, 0, 0) 
			 end
		 end
	end
end
addCommandHandler("changenick", asetnick1)

i don't know where i went wrong cause my debugscript wasn't showing any errors/warnings. so any help? i didn't know how to express myself by writing the first two variables into the code.

Try this. Not tested though. Server-side:

function changePlayerNick(player, command, target, newNick)
	local account = getPlayerAccount(player)
	local accName = getAccountName(account)
	if account and isGuestAccount(account) then
		return
	end
	if isObjectInACLGroup("user." ..accName, aclGetGroup("Admin")) then
		if not target or not newNick then
			outputChatBox("Correct command is /changenick player nick.", player, 255, 0, 0, true)
			return
		end
		local targetPlayer = getPlayerFromPartialName(target)
		if not targetPlayer then
			outputChatBox("No such player found.", player, 255, 0, 0, true)
			return
		end
		outputChatBox("You changed #FFFFFF"..getPlayerName(targetPlayer).."#00FF00's nickname to #FFFFFF"..newNick.."#00FF00.", player, 0, 255, 0, true)
		outputChatBox("Your nickname was changed from #FFFFFF"..getPlayerName(targetPlayer).."#00FF00 to #FFFFFF"..newNick.."#00FF00.", player, 0, 255, 0, true)
		setPlayerName(targetPlayer, newNick)
	else
		outputChatBox("You're not an Admin!", player, 255, 0, 0, true)
		return
	end
end
addCommandHandler("changenick", changePlayerNick)

function getPlayerFromPartialName(name)
    local name = name and name:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() or nil
    if name then
        for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
            local name_ = getPlayerName(player):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower()
            if name_:find(name, 1, true) then
                return player
            end
        end
    end
end

On line 18 put "targetPlayer" instead of "player" in the outputChatBox. My bad.
