[TorNix~|nR]

for index,thisPlayer in pairs(getElementsByType("player") or getElementsByType("ped")) do

nothing found on debug, but only ped works but player not

help please?

That is not how this works. A table is a thing, it is something even if it is empty.

if {} then
	outputChatBox("Always true")
end

 

local players = getElementsByType("player") 


for index,thisPlayer in pairs(#players > 0 and players or getElementsByType("ped")) do

 

Note, this does not merge the tables. Just uses peds when there are no players.

I have "edixBox" from which I get the result (variable - result), how to check if there is such a player on the server (with the same name)?

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIChanged" , guiRoot , function ( )
    if source == yourEditBox then
        local Name = guiGetText ( source )
        if Name and Name ~= "" then
            for _ , Player in pairs( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do
                if getPlayerName ( Player ):lower ( ):find ( Name:lower ( ) , 1 , true) then
                    outputChatBox ( "Player Exists" , 255 , 255 , 255 , true )
                    break
                end
            end
        end
    end
end )

Edit : forget ( break )
