[Help]Autoteaming

[gudenmike]

Hi guys

i were wondering if you could help me abit

i wanna create an autoteaming for mta (when you join and got a nametag in your name ([Z.A.R.S]) you will be putted on a team)

well this is my code

spawnTeam = createTeam ("[Z.A.R.S]", 0, 0, 255) -- Create team to spawn.
function spawnOnLogin (prevA, curA, autoLogin)
outputChatBox ("Welcome to Zombie Apocalypse Rescue Squad HQ", source, 255, 0, 0, false)
spawnPlayer (source, -2246.7751464844, 2283.3193359375, 5, 0, math.random (0,288), 0, 0, spawnTeam) -- spawns player with random skin
fadeCamera (source, true)
setCameraTarget (source, source)
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), spawnOnLogin)

Ive tried that code it didnt work ;/

any hint about what i can do ?

i SUCK at codeing but ive tried alittle

EDIT: ive tried autoteam from resource site i didnt get it to work ive searched for it but nothing worked for me

The last line has a bracket which shouldn't be there.

[gudenmike]

Allright doomed when you say bracket you mean " ) " aight ?

if that's it ive removed it

[DiSaMe]

Don't use math.random to get skin directly. It may return ID which doesn't have a skin defined in. It's better to make a table of available skins and use it.

[m4rsje]

well im not good at scripting but you can try this:

local root = getRootElement()
 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", root,
function()
team = createTeam ("Z.A.R.S.", 0, 0, 255)
end
)
 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root,
function()
setPlayerTeam ( source, team)
outputChatBox ("Welcome to Zombie Apocalypse Rescue Squad HQ", source) -- it will say it for the logged in player only
spawnPlayer (source, -2246.7751464844, 2283.3193359375, 5) -- spawns the player at the pos, with skin 0
fadeCamera (source, true)
setCameraTarget (source, true)
end
)

it will just give you skin 0.

im not known in the math.random's, but this is a start

[Castillo]

maybe this would be better, i had a table with skins list that all works so i made math.random(0,264) that should work fine.

local root = getRootElement()
 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", root,
function()
team = createTeam ("Z.A.R.S.", 0, 0, 255)
end
)
 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root,
function()
setPlayerTeam ( source, team)
outputChatBox ("Welcome to Zombie Apocalypse Rescue Squad HQ", source) -- it will say it for the logged in player only
spawnPlayer (source, -2246.7751464844, 2283.3193359375, 5, 90, math.random(0,264), team ) -- spawns the player at the pos, with a random skin
fadeCamera (source, true)
setCameraTarget (source, true)
end
)

well guys nice scripts but i were wondering how can i make it check if players have [Z.A.R.S] in their name ? and then they will be automoved if they have the tag in their name ?

what commands should i use and could you maybe show me an example

well the reason that ill need this is because im an admin on a zombie server and we're making it an rp so we need factions

EDIT: i want people to have the SWAT or COP2 skin so ill guess i just have to add that instead of random skin ?

well first of all i need to figure out how i remove the thing that auto gives an player a random skin

ohh another question.. can i make [Z.A.R.S] members start on the base when they die ?

sorry for aksing you for the script but ive only just began learning it

[Castillo]

How exactly u want to detect? by somthing in the players account? or?

[gudenmike]

Well solid.. i want it to be like if people are in a group (maybe acl) they would be moved to the team but not just that people change there name and getting moved auto..

you understand what im trying to tell ?

[gudenmike]

ohh and if i dublicate this script for more teams will it work ?

[m4rsje]

wait i get his point!

you can do a thing i use too,

make teams!

NOTE: YOU CANT SAVE TEAM DATA, so you have to work with team names

i can make a small script for you that is easy to edit,

you make a team,

and if your an admin, it gets the admin team and you will spawn somewhere else

ill get right on it matey

[gudenmike]

m4rsje

well im trying to make a script that will start with the server and auto put people that's inside the acl into the teams you get what i mean ?

and is this possible ?

well i guess it is

EDIT: Z.A.R.S members start at one place and survivors start another place

[Castillo]

check this is like u wanted,

local root = getRootElement()
 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", root,
function()
team = createTeam ("Z.A.R.S.", 0, 0, 255)
end
)
 
function login()
local taccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
if isZarAccount(taccount) then
setPlayerTeam ( source, team)
outputChatBox ("Welcome to Zombie Apocalypse Rescue Squad HQ", source)
spawnPlayer (source, -2246.7751464844, 2283.3193359375, 5, 90, math.random(0,264), team )
fadeCamera (source, true)
setCameraTarget (source, true)
else
end
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root,login)
 
function isZarAccount(account)
local nick = ""
local group = aclGetGroup("[Z.A.R.S]")
if (account and group) then
   nick = string.lower(getAccountName(account) or "")
for _, object in ipairs(aclGroupListObjects(group) or {}) do
if (gettok(object, 1, string.byte('.')) == "user") then
if (nick == string.lower(gettok(object, 2, string.byte('.')))) then
return true
end
end
end
end
return false
end

actually checks if u in the acl group called "[Z.A.R.S]" if u are u will spawn etc and if u arent u wont spawn.

i guess you can start better with mine,

its easyer to understand, and if you want to make a new acl team you have to restart the hole server (alot of work in my oppinion), you can better restart the resource, instead of the server

add that.

"Snake" is the account name so will be like "

u can add as many u want of course.

and btw m4rsj, he asked for somthing that detects members not teams

[m4rsje]

yeah but you can detect players, in a team

so you can change the teams, any time with admin pannel,

instead of stopping the server,

adding to acl,

starting the server

there is a small chance you lose ppl for that

lol why restart? there is a way from admin panel executing a command that dont needs to restart

[m4rsje]

yeah thats true, what ever he wants ^^

[gudenmike]

wow your confusing me now

solid.. how can i add members without restarting server ?

[Castillo]

edit the acl.xml add all what u want then DONT RESTART ANY RESOURCE/STOP then go admin panel tab "resources" and u will see there is a edit box that says "execute command" in the box u type aclReload() and click button "server" and is done

[m4rsje]

yes, in the normal admin pannel

there is a button at server(if i remember it correctly , i made my own admin pannel),

acl management.

you can add groups, and members there

Dont confuse him! he asked to refresh acls not add members .

he can do much easier opening acl.xml.

[m4rsje]

lol he said:

'how can i add members without restarting server'

;P

so we kinda got both right
