findPlayer

[Bleidex]

Hello, i'm making new script, but im disturbed by problem, that i can't fix

ERROR: line 4 attempt to call global 'findPlayer' (a nil value)

Command I use: /warn Figa test

I was testing it on player which nicks was #0080FFFiga. Tried on others too but returned same problem. ;/

function warnPlayer ( theClient, command, target, reason) 
  if ( hasObjectPermissionTo ( theClient, "function.warnPlayer" ) ) then 
    local warnedPlayer = getPlayerFromNick ( target ) 
        local targetPlayer = findPlayer ( target ) 
    local playerAccount = getPlayerAccount ( targetPlayer ) 
    local playerWarns = getAccountData ( playerAccount, "Warns" ) or 0 
    if ( playerWarns == 0 ) then 
        setAccountData ( playerAccount, "Warns", tonumber(playerWarns) + 1 ) 
        outputChatBox ( warnedPlayer.. "#FF0000 has been warned for " ..reason.. ".", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
        outputChatBox ( "You have been warned for " ..reason.. ". Now you have " ..playerWarns.. " of 3.", targetPlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
    elseif ( playerWarns == 1 ) then 
        setAccountData ( playerAccount, "Warns", tonumber(playerWarns) + 1 ) 
        outputChatBox ( warnedPlayer.. "#FF000 has been warned for " ..reason.. ".", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
        outputChatBox ( "You have been warned for " ..reason.. ". Now you have " ..playerWarns.. " of 3.", targetPlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
    elseif ( playerWarns == 2 ) then 
        setAccountData ( playerAccount, "Warns", tonumber(playerWarns) + 1 ) 
        outputChatBox ( warnedPlayer.. "#FF000 has been warned for " ..reason.. ". It was his last moment in this server...", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
        banPlayer ( targetPlayer, Console, "You got 3 warning of 3." ) 
    end 
  else 
    outputChatBox ( "Warn: you don't have enough permissions.", theClient, 255, 255, 0, false ) 
  end 
end

I am not sure, because i am new, but I think findPlayer is not defined.

Or what should the "findPlayer" command do?

[Maccer.]

According to the error, the function findPlayer does not exist. Why are you trying to use it?

Sounds like the script is not yours, else, you should have the 'findPlayer' function

function warnPlayer ( theClient, command, target, reason) 
  if ( hasObjectPermissionTo ( theClient, "function.warnPlayer" ) ) then 
    local targetPlayer = getPlayerFromName ( target ) 
    local playerAccount = getPlayerAccount ( targetPlayer ) 
    local playerWarns = getAccountData ( playerAccount, "Warns" ) or 0 
    if ( playerWarns == 0 ) then 
        setAccountData ( playerAccount, "Warns", tonumber(playerWarns) + 1 ) 
        outputChatBox ( warnedPlayer.. "#FF0000 has been warned for " ..reason.. ".", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
        outputChatBox ( "You have been warned for " ..reason.. ". Now you have " ..playerWarns.. " of 3.", targetPlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
    elseif ( playerWarns == 1 ) then 
        setAccountData ( playerAccount, "Warns", tonumber(playerWarns) + 1 ) 
        outputChatBox ( warnedPlayer.. "#FF000 has been warned for " ..reason.. ".", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
        outputChatBox ( "You have been warned for " ..reason.. ". Now you have " ..playerWarns.. " of 3.", targetPlayer, 255, 0, 0, false ) 
    elseif ( playerWarns == 2 ) then 
        setAccountData ( playerAccount, "Warns", tonumber(playerWarns) + 1 ) 
        outputChatBox ( warnedPlayer.. "#FF000 has been warned for " ..reason.. ". It was his last moment in this server...", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
        banPlayer ( targetPlayer, Console, "You got 3 warning of 3." ) 
    end 
  else 
    outputChatBox ( "Warn: you don't have enough permissions.", theClient, 255, 255, 0, false ) 
  end 
end

I know this script, its used to get partial name of a player... try briefly looking into ban/kick system.It has a partial name for target player afaik.

[Castillo]

proracer, he doesn't want that if i'm right, he just wanted it to warn the desired player.

[proracer]

I know him he is my friend, he wanted to use the partial name for a player.. I didn't said you're code is wrong, on the contrary it's good.

Like for example: /warn Sol - (instead of Solidsnake14) which must be used with getPlayerFromName

[karlis]

returns false if more then 1 player found, player, if 1 found, nil, if none found

  
function findPlayer(nickpart) 
  local players=getElementsByType("player") 
  local matches={} 
  for _,v in pairs(players) do 
    if string.find(string.lower(getPlayerName(v)),string.lower(nickpart)) then 
      table.insert(matches,v) 
    end 
 end 
 if #mathces>1 then 
   return false 
 else  
   return mathces[1] 
 end 
end
