getElementData. offline player

[fairyoggy]

How to create a command that will show getElementData(target, "name") by login?

I mean if you type /find Alex

Find a player with a login "Alex" and get he's elementData("name") and will appear message with he's nick

But the player is not on the server

 

UPDATE: I found this but how to use it on offline players?

You can not do that, elementData is temporary, what you can that about is using setAccountData (when the player leaves save elementData) and getAccountData (get the data saved by the account)

 

Try this:

-- load elementData
function load(_, account)
    local name = getAccountData(account, "name") or "N/A"

    setElementData(source, "name", name)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), load)

-- save elementData
function save()
    local name = getElementData(source, "name") or "N/A"

    setAccountData(getPlayerAccount(source), "name", name)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", getRootElement(), save)

-- find elementAccount
function find (source, cmd, playerAccount)
    if cmd and playerAccount then
        if getAccount(playerAccount) then
            local gName = getAccountData(getAccount(playerAccount), "name")

            outputChatBox("Name of "..playerAccount.." is #FFFFFF"..""..gName, source, 152, 95, 161, true)
        end
    end
end
addCommandHandler("find", find)

EDIT: I do not tested!

Use

setAccountData -- save player's nickname to his account

Use the function above on login, on nick name change and on quit so it stays up to date. 

Then you may just call it by

getAccountData

to get the player's name from his account name.
