Bad "Client" Pointer Problem

[ArmedGuy]

Yeah, so when someone logs in to their account i want to retrive their name/account name, but if i use this code:

function onPlayerJoin ( source )
if ( saveFile ) then
local sourcename = getClientName( source )
 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin", getRootElement(), onPlayerJoin)

i get this error:

ERROR: Line Blabla: Bad "Client" Pointer @ getClientName

anyone know why?

[DiSaMe]

onClientLogin parameters are different from parameter in your script. Never put 'source' into parameters list for events.

[Mr.Hankey]

'source' is a hidden variable that most events are using to define which element triggered the event. You don't have to declare it it's already there.

But when i remove that source i get this Error:

Bad Argument @ "getClientName"

Thats why i added that source.

So anyone know?

[DakiLLa]

function onPlayerJoin ()
if ( saveFile ) then
local playerName = getClientName( source )
 
addEventHandler("onClientLogin", getRootElement(), onPlayerJoin)

this should works

There are two ends missing there...

I guess he just posted a piece of his code. If he has error:

ERROR: Line Blabla: Bad "Client" Pointer @ getClientName

That means the script has ran but failed when calling getClientName. When you forget about ends you get unexpected symbol near ''.

[ArmedGuy]

Yeah, Its just a piece, but anyone want the whole code to try finding whats wrong? As i seriously cant find any problem.

Did you saw the post of DaK?

[ArmedGuy]

Oh yea, I Finally got it working, and no idea why it didnt work before, even after i removed that source...

Sorry for bumping, but, does the skin and money of a player get reset if you use the command spawnPlayer? as the script(which is a playerstats script loads the data sucessfully, also when the screens faded out, but then when i use a inbuilt command, /spawn, it goes back to regular CJ and no money

[Killeralec99]

so make it when you do /spawn, make it so i will get playerskin and save it as a variable, and do the same for the money. Then make it so when player spawns, it will load the skin and the money
