tostring?

[jkub]

How would I use tostring to getsomeone elses ip?

from what I understand Ive did this

addCommandHandler ( "getip", 
    function ( command, target ) 
        target = tostring("") 
        local targetName = getClientName ( target ) 
        targetIP = getClientIP (target) 
            outputChatBox ( targetName.. "'s IP is " ..targetIP, getRootElement() ) 
    end 
)

addCommandHandler ( "getip", 
    function ( playerWhoUsedCommand, command, targetName ) 
        local targetPlayer = getPlayerFromNick( targetName ) 
        if targetPlayer then 
            local targetIP = getClientIP( targetPlayer ) 
            outputChatBox( targetName.. "'s IP is " ..targetIP, getRootElement() ) 
        end 
    end 
)

Unfortunately MTA doesn't have a function getClient(Player)FromName or something similar, so you have to loop through all the players and find out if player with such name is connected...

addCommandHandler ( "getip", 
    function ( playerWhoUsedCommand, command, targetName ) 
        for _, targetPlayer in pairs( getElementsByType( "player" ) ) do 
            if getClientName( targetPlayer ) == targetName then 
                local targetIP = getClientIP( targetPlayer ) 
                outputChatBox( targetName.. "'s IP is " ..targetIP, getRootElement() ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 

Wtf! Yes, it does! getPlayerFromNick(nick)
