Problem with a script.

[Jumba']

Ok, so I made a script to start a map vote on join if there's no map and it works, but it also starts a vote when there IS a map loaded.

here's the script.

  
function startVote( ) 
     local joinedPlayerName = getClientName ( source ) 
     local mode = getGameType () 
     if( mode == nil ) then 
     executeCommandHandler ( "votemode", source ) 
     outputChatBox ( "Welcome to the server" .. joinedPlayerName .. ". There's currently no map running so choose one. " , source, 255, 255, 0 ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), startVote ) 
  

-edit-

i think it always starts the vote because it told me that mode was nil even thought i was running fallout. any idea what could be causing this?

I think it's because there is only one map for fallout and that is the default one. Don't hold me to it though.

yea, i thought aout that so I changed it from getMapType to getGameType which should detect a gamemode.

You should probably avoid using executeCommandHandler as this is restricted by default (only admin resources can use it). Instead, use call.

http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... otemanager lists the functions that votemanager lets you call.

Yea, I tried using call but I couldn't get it to work. To get executeCommandHandler to work i added it to the acl, but im just trying to figure out why it starts the vote even if the map is loaded. that's the biggest problem now.
