That's wrong, isObjectInACLGroup requires the account name but the player name, so would be:

function iamAdmin(player) 
local account = getPlayerAccount(player) 
if not account then return end 
local accountName = getAccountName(account) 
if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. accountName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
outputChatBox("Yes.") 
else 
outputChatBox("No.") 
  end 
end 
addCommandHandler("admin",iamAdmin)

I have a problem with my update Gui,

every time when I press the leave button on the nick GUI the update GUI is suppose to appear but it doesn't appear.

Here is my script

Client-side

  
function DONE() 
            -- hide the gui, hide the cursor and return control to the player 
            guiSetVisible(GUIEditor_Window[2], false) 
            guiSetVisible(GUIEditor_Window[1], false) 
            guiSetVisible(GUIEditor_Window[3], false) 
            --guiSetVisible(back_Ground, false) 
            showCursor(false) 
            guiSetInputEnabled(false) 
            triggerServerEvent ( "checker", getRootElement()) --HERE IS THE TRIGGER 
end 
addEvent("Done",true) 
addEventHandler("Done", getRootElement(), DONE) 
  

now Server-side

  
addEvent ( "checker",true) 
addEventHandler ( "checker", getRootElement(),  
function(player) 
    local account = getPlayerAccount(player) 
    if not account then return end 
    local accountName = getAccountName(account) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. accountName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
    triggerClientEvent ( "update",getRootElement()) 
    end 
end) 
  

then back to Client-side

  
local checking_updates = false 
  
addEvent ( "update",true) 
addEventHandler ( "update", getRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function() 
    sx,sy = guiGetScreenSize() 
    jupdateWindow = guiCreateWindow((sx/2)-109,(sy/2)-74,218,148,"J UPDATE",false)

            if manual == false then 
                if not guieditor_version then guieditor_version = oldVersion end 
                showWindow() 
            end 
        elseif update == false then 
            guiSetText(jUpdateLabel,"No updates available") 
        else 
            guiSetText(jUpdateLabel,"Error: Check ACL permissions and MTA website availability.") 
        end 
    end 
end) 
  
function showWindow()

    guiSetVisible(jupdateWindow,true) 
     
    guiBringToFront(jupdateWindow) 
end 
  

again back to Server-side

  
function checkForUpdates(manual) 
    local player = client 
    local called = callRemote("https://community.multitheftauto.com/mta/resources.php",function(n,v) updateResult(n,v,player,manual) end,"version",string.lower(getResourceName(getThisResource())))

end  
addEvent("checkUpdateStatus",true) 
addEventHandler("checkUpdateStatus",root,checkForUpdates) 
  
function updateResult(name,version,player,manual) 
    local update = false 
     
    if string.lower(name):find("error") or version == 0 then update = nil end

        if v1 and cv1 then 
            if v1 > cv1 then update = true 
            elseif v2 > cv2 then update = true 
            elseif v3 > cv3 then update = true 
            end 
        end 
    end 
  
    triggerClientEvent(player,"receiveUpdateCheck",player,update,version,tostring(getResourceInfo(getThisResource(),"version")),manual) 
end 
  
  
function parseVersion(version) 
    local parts = split(version,string.byte(".")) 
     
    return parts[1],parts[2],parts[3] 
end 
  

[JR10]

addEvent ( "checker",true) 
addEventHandler ( "checker", getRootElement(), 
function() 
    local account = getPlayerAccount(client) 
    if not account then return end 
    local accountName = getAccountName(account) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. accountName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
    triggerClientEvent (client, "update",getRootElement()) 
    end 
end) 

1- removed the player and replaced it with client and removed it from the function

2- getAccountName(account) uses account not a player you already got the player's account "account" so getAccountName(account)

3- your triggerClientEvent will trigger for all players you should specify for who should it trigger like if you are showing a GUI when u trigger it and dont specify who would it trigger for all players will see the gui so

triggerClientEvent ( "update",getRootElement()) 

should be

triggerClientEvent (client, "update",getRootElement())

And

i need help with a script,

I want to take the player money and fix there vehicle, but if they don't have enough then output "You don't have enough to fix you vehicle".

here is my script:

ONLY SERVER-SIDE

  
  
function paynsprayEnter ( client ) 
    vehicles = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
    if getPlayerMoney ( client ) >= cost then 
        takePlayerMoney ( client,(cost)) 
    for vehicleKey, vehicleValue in ipairs(vehicles) do 
    fixVehicle ( vehicleValue ) 
    end 
    else 
    outputChatBox ( "You cannot afford to fix this car!",client, 0, 0, 0) 
    end 
end 
  

[JR10]

what the ...

first your fixing all vehicles

2- where is the cost defined

use

local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(client) 

[Jaysds1]

ok

EDIT:

It says:

I don't need help with the Pay n Spray script anymore.

But I still need help with the Update GUI.

[Jaysds1]

How do you create a file and save the player position?

here is my script:

  
    local playerSource = getLocalPlayer () 
    local RootNode = xmlCreateFile("positions.xml"," newroot") 
    local NewNode = xmlCreateChild(RootNode, "newchild") 
addCommandHandler ( "save", 
function() 
    if ( playerSource ) then 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( playerSource ) 
    xmlSaveFile(RootNode) 
    end 
end)

It doesn't create a file.

[Castillo]

Yes, it does, but it creates into the client PC, client scripts folder.

Go to the folder:

c:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\mods\deathmatch\resources\resource_name 

[Chlorek]

Let's learn indroduction! Then write really scripts man...

[Jaysds1]

NVM

I'll use the other create file script.

[Castillo]

I guess you wanted to create it in the resource, well, then you should have used server side file functions.

[Jaysds1]

ok
