Help on isGuestAccount

[CJGrove]

Hello,

I tried to make a script that would it make impossible for guests to spawn. (enter is spawn button)

But i got some errors but it is like this documented on wiki.

script:

function isguest ( playerSource ) 
    sourceAccount = getClientAccount ( playerSource ) 
    if isGuestAccount ( sourceAccount ) then 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", false ) 
    outputChatBox ( "You need to login before you can spawn. (/login password) (/register password)", sourceAccount ) 
    else 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", true ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), isguest ) 
  
function guestlogin () 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", true ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin",getRootElement(),guestlogin) 
  
function guestlogout () 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", false ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogout",getRootElement(),guestlogout) 

Errors:

[11:37:00] WARNING: functionscript.lua: Bad argument @ 'getClientAccount' - Line: 815 
[11:37:00] WARNING: functionscript.lua: Bad argument @ 'isGuestAccount' - Line: 816 

Please help me.

Greetings CJGrove

you don't have to define any arguments in the function just use:

  
function isguest ( ) 
    sourceAccount = getClientAccount ( source ) 
    if isGuestAccount ( sourceAccount ) then 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", false ) 
    outputChatBox ( "You need to login before you can spawn. (/login password) (/register password)", sourceAccount ) 
    else 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", true ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), isguest ) 
  

The onPlayerJoin event doesn't pass any arguments it just gives you the source and that is the player that joined just like the wiki says.

Thanks for fast and good reply Mr.Hankey,

Still got a lot to learn i gues...

But were not quite there yet

Using this code:

function isguest ( ) 
    sourceAccount = getClientAccount ( source ) 
    if isGuestAccount ( sourceAccount ) then 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", false ) 
    outputChatBox ( "You need to login before you can spawn. (/login password) (/register password)", sourceAccount ) 
    else 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", true ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), isguest ) 
  
function guestlogin () 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", true ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin",getRootElement(),guestlogin) 
  
function guestlogout () 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", false ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogout",getRootElement(),guestlogout) 

Getting this error:

[12:04:29] WARNING: functionscript.lua: Bad 'player' pointer @ 'enableControl'(1) - Line: 826 

Thanks in advance,

CJGrove

[Mr.Hankey]

the problem is that the source of the onClientLogin is the ClientElement and not the PlayerElement but you need the playerElement for the toggleControl fucntion

try his:

  
function isguest ( ) 
    sourceAccount = getClientAccount ( source ) 
    if isGuestAccount ( sourceAccount ) then 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", false ) 
    outputChatBox ( "You need to login before you can spawn. (/login password) (/register password)", sourceAccount ) 
    else 
    toggleControl ( source, "enter", true ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), isguest ) 
  
function guestlogin () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    toggleControl ( player, "enter", true ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin",getRootElement(),guestlogin) 
  
function guestlogout () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    toggleControl ( player, "enter", false ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogout",getRootElement(),guestlogout) 

hm... i have no idea if it works but give it a try^^

Hm... maybe you should use the (un)bindKey functions and unbind the "enter" key if someone isn't registered or not logged in and bind it to the spawn function if he logged in. Example:

  
function isguest ( ) 
    sourceAccount = getClientAccount ( source ) 
    if isGuestAccount ( sourceAccount ) then 
    unbindKey ( source, "enter" ) 
    outputChatBox ( "You need to login before you can spawn. (/login password) (/register password)", sourceAccount ) 
    else 
    bindKey( source, "enter", --[[enter here the function that spawns the player]] ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), isguest ) 
  
function guestlogin () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    bindKey( player, "enter", --[[enter here the function that spawns the player]] ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin",getRootElement(),guestlogin) 
  
function guestlogout () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    unbindKey( player, "enter") 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogout",getRootElement(),guestlogout)

Error:

[12:45:09] INFO: Loading script failed: ...n/MTA Server/mods/deathmatch/resources/functionscript/functionscript.lua:820: unexpected symbol near ')' 

Edit:

Using this code

function isguest ( ) 
    sourceAccount = getClientAccount ( source ) 
    if isGuestAccount ( sourceAccount ) then 
    unbindKey ( player, "enter" ) 
    outputChatBox ( "You need to login before you can spawn. (/login password) (/register password)", sourceAccount ) 
    else 
    bindKey ( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn,  player ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), isguest ) 
  
function guestlogin () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    bindKey ( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn,  player ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin",getRootElement(),guestlogin) 
  
function guestlogout () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    unbindKey( player, "enter") 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogout",getRootElement(),guestlogout ) 

Getting this error:

[12:50:10] WARNING: cdm.lua: Bad argument @ 'unbindKey' - Line: 259 

Edit2:

Using this code

function isguest ( ) 
    player = getClientAccount ( source ) 
    if isGuestAccount ( sourceAccount ) then 
    unbindKey ( player, "enter" ) 
    outputChatBox ( "You need to login before you can spawn. (/login password) (/register password)", sourceAccount ) 
    else 
    bindKey ( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn,  player ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), isguest ) 
  
function guestlogin () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    bindKey ( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn,  player ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin",getRootElement(),guestlogin) 
  
function guestlogout () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    unbindKey( player, "enter") 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogout",getRootElement(),guestlogout ) 

Getting no errors but no effect what so ever.

[Mr.Hankey]

you should really read the code instead of just copy'n'pasting it and repost the erros that occure...

where the --[[enter here the function that spawns the player]] comment is you have to replace it with the function that spawns the player

[lil Toady]

local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 

Erm? that's the same as

local player = source 

but with the unnesessary code

The problem is that 'enter' is not a control i suppose.

Read edit2.

Edit:

function isguest ( ) 
    player = getClientAccount ( source ) 
    if isGuestAccount ( player ) then 
    unbindKey ( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn ) 
    outputChatBox ( "You need to login before you can spawn. (/login password) (/register password)", sourceAccount ) 
    else 
    bindKey ( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), isguest ) 
  
function guestlogin () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    bindKey ( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin",getRootElement(),guestlogin) 
  
function guestlogout () 
    local player = getPlayerFromNick (getClientName (source)) 
    unbindKey( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientLogout",getRootElement(),guestlogout )

The problem is that 'enter' is not a control i suppose.

Wait is enter not a control?

It is becose it stands in the script of cdm:

Copied from cdm.

bindKey ( player, "enter", "down", cdm_spawn,  player ) 

[CJGrove]

Nevemind this,

I got it working.

It's realy silly acutly.

The key was bind in an other function (original).

Forgot to delete that line so.

It works now thanks for evrything .

Greetings CJGrove.
