Hi.

The script I'm trying to make is a player who needs help does /adminreq and he gets a message saying admin is coming and admins, supermoderators and moderators get a message saying they are needed by the person who requested. 

Current code:  

function requestAdmin(playerName)
exports.SANGcommands:sendMessage("Your request for a staff member has been accepted. One of our staff members will be with you soon", 225,255,255)

local account = getPlayerAccount (thePlayer)
if isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. getAccountName(string(account)), aclGetGroup ("Admin", "SuperModerator", "Moderator")) and type == 0 then
outputChatBox("You are required by ".. getPlayerFromName(playerName .. playerName)
end
end
  
addCommandHandler("adminreq", requestAdmin)

But when /adminreq is typed the first message shows but admins dont get the message. Why? (i'm new to lua)

local account = getPlayerAccount (playerName) -- thePlayer ? you need to use playerName as in function (playerName)
if isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. getAccountName(string(account)), aclGetGroup ("Admin", "SuperModerator", "Moderator")) and type == 0 then
outputChatBox("You are required by ".. getPlayerFromName(playerName .. playerName)
end
end

  1. function requestAdmin(playerName)
exports.SANGcommands:sendMessage("Your request for a staff member has been accepted. One of our staff members will be with you soon", 225,255,255)

local account = getPlayerAccount (thePlayer)
if isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. getAccountName(string(account)), aclGetGroup ("Admin", "SuperModerator", "Moderator")) and type == 0 then
outputChatBox("You are required by ".. getPlayerFromName(playerName .. playerName)
end
end

addCommandHandler("adminreq", requestAdmin)
    Mate the function requestAdmin(playerName)
  2. at local account = getPlayerAccount (thePlayer)  you used thePlayer you should use playerName

You can see it now ?

Try it now, I think that was the only problem..

No. Bad argument @ 'getPlayerAccount' [Expected Element at argument 1, got nil]

You change thePlayer to playerName ? 

local account = getPlayerAccount (thePlayer)            -- see this? make it   

 

                --make it like that: 

local account = getPlayerAccount (playerName)

 

and if change thePlayer to playerName    didn't work then try this:  

  1. function requestAdmin(playerName)
    exports.SANGcommands:sendMessage("Your request for a staff member has been accepted. One of our staff members will be with you soon", 225,255,255)
    local account = getPlayerAccount (playerName)
    if isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. getAccountName(string(account)), aclGetGroup ("Admin", "SuperModerator", "Moderator")) and type == 0 then
        outputChatBox("You are required by ".. getPlayerFromName(playerName .. playerName)
    end
end
addCommandHandler("adminreq", requestAdmin)
  
-- use the first which is above(up) this message if it didn't work then try which is below(down) this message
  
function requestAdmin()
    for _,playerName in ipairs ( getElementsByType("player") ) do
        exports.SANGcommands:sendMessage("Your request for a staff member has been accepted. One of our staff members will be with you soon", 225,255,255)
        local account = getPlayerAccount (playerName)
        if isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. getAccountName(string(account)), aclGetGroup ("Admin", "SuperModerator", "Moderator")) and type == 0 then
            outputChatBox("You are required by ".. getPlayerFromName(playerName .. playerName)
        end
    end
end
addCommandHandler("adminreq", requestAdmin)
    Try the first one if it didn't work. then try the second one, but the first one should work if it didn't then try the second one~

function requestAdmin(playerName)
    exports.SANGcommands:sendMessage("Your request for a staff member has been accepted. One of our staff members will be with you soon", 225,255,255)
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition (playerName)
    local account = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( playerName ) )
    if isObjectInACLGroup ("user.".. account, aclGetGroup ("Admin", "SuperModerator", "Moderator")) and type == 0 then
        setElementPosition( playerName, x, y, z )
    end
end
addCommandHandler("adminreq", requestAdmin)
