Bad argument @ 'getAccountName' [Expected account at argument 1, got boolean]

[Sr. Bruxo]

my debug is showing this (Bad argument @ 'getAccountName' [Expected account at argument 1, got boolean]), whenever a player passes through the gate.

local gate = createObject(2933, 1334.8000488281, -1334.1999511719, 14 ,0, 0, 89.504455566406)  --13188

local marker = createMarker(1334.8000488281, -1334.1999511719, 14, "cylinder", 8, 0, 0, 0, 0)

 

function moveGate(thePlayer)

     if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(thePlayer)) , aclGetGroup("PMESP")) then

          moveObject(gate, 1500, 1334.8000488281, -1334.1999511719, 10)

     end

end

addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", marker, moveGate)

 

function move_back_gate()

     moveObject(gate, 2000, 1334.8000488281, -1334.1999511719, 14)

end

addEventHandler("onMarkerLeave", marker, move_back_gate)

What did I do wrong?

The warning occurs because onMarkerHit can be triggered by other elements like vehicles, not just players. This means you're sometimes passing a non-player element to getPlayerAccount, which results in returning false instead of an account. You should check if thePlayer is actually a player element before doing anything:

function moveGate(thePlayer)
     if getElementType(thePlayer) == "player" then
          if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(thePlayer)) , aclGetGroup("PMESP")) then
               moveObject(gate, 1500, 1334.8000488281, -1334.1999511719, 10)
          end
     end
end
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", marker, moveGate)

You should do the same in the move_back_gate function, otherwise, it will execute twice when a player enters with a vehicle, for example.
