Restricting Certain Skins

[bravo351]

In integrating "legalsystem" into the server I'm helping to build (ty Slothman, author), I need a way to restrict the availability of cop skins to certain members of the server. In the mainly freeroam server I'm administering, there are 2 ways to obtain setElementModel; /setskin (or the F1 button of the "freeroam" GUI), or /skin, made possible by the following script:

function playerSkin ( player, commandName, id )
setElementModel ( player, id )
end
addCommandHandler ("skin", playerSkin )

"legalsystem" works by identifying Officers by skin, not by team. I tried recoding it to identify by server team with getPlayerTeam and failed, so I'm left with restricting the cop skins to the Police team in these 2 skin-getting resources. How do I do this? Any help offered would be greatly appreciated, and due credit will be inserted into each altered resource. Thank you.

It seems that working with teams for some people is confusing. I have no idea why though. Tell us, what you've had problems with? Any error/warning messages?

BTW, use debug window for debugging. It will show you every error and warning messages.

I didn't have any error messages whatsoever... my team problem came in properly referencing it in other scripts. Slothman was kind enough to help me with tightening up the bad syntax i used, in particular getTeamFromName instead of getTeamName. So now instead of restricting the skin models I don't want certain people in the server to have, I simply reference the server team and let the others wear whatever they want. I'd still like to know how I could restrict the available skins to spawn with for certain groups, but it's not nearly as critical anymore.

...and that seems like the perfict time to bring up the fact that i updated legalsystem (partly due to bravo's need for a better team system) https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=292

I'ts sorrt of self-explanitory, but I'll go into the details in the scripts forum topic HERE
