Muting script

[megaman54]

I'm making a mute script wich is different than the default one. It should work like this: i type /smute and it mutes that player without using the setPlayerMuted function. I want to make it like that no-one can see when someone gets muted and when the muted player tries to speak, he wont get the "you are muted" message. So, here is my problem: i must store the muted player names in a table, but i dont know how to check if the name is in the table. Here is what i have done so far:

muted = {} 
  
function silentMute() 
  

I know it isnt much but thats all i can do by myself. I'm a very noob with tables...

I hope someone can help me with this.

Hmmm, Maybe you should go check out the wiki, But heres what you wanted...

function muteOurPlayer(player, command, mutedguy, time, reason) 
    if mutedguy and time and reason then 
         
        local muted = getPlayerFromName(mutedguy) 
         
        if muted then 
             
            if( not isPlayerMuted(muted) ) then 
                 
                    setPlayerMuted(muted, true) 
                    outputChatBox(..getPlayerName(muted).." has been muted for "..time.." minutes. (Reason: "..reason.."#FF0000 )", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true) 
                    setElementData(muted, "Muted", 1) 
                    setElementData(muted, "MutedTime", time) 
                    setElementData(muted, "Reason", reason) 
            end 
        end 
    else  
            outputChatBox("Mute command: /mute ", player) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("mute", muteOurPlayer)

Ehm... I clearly stated that i want to do it without setPlayerMuted function.

[Baseplate]

you can't do it without setPlayerMuted function

Have already made the mute functionality?

for tables:

muted = { } 
--onPlayerMuted 
table.insert ( muted , player ) 

This is what you want?

Yes! Thanks. But the probelm is, how i could check if the name is in the table?

What you mean a name?

That table can only contains players.

if muted [ player ] ~= nil then

To check, you'll need a loop:

function checkPlayerMuted ( thePlayer ) 
  for k, player in ipairs(muted) do 
    if player == thePlayer then 
      return true 
    end 
  end 
  return false 
end 

To disable the chat (=muted), cancel the onPlayerChat event if the player is in the table:

function checkMute ( ) 
  local player = source 
  if checkPlayerMuted ( player ) then 
    cancelEvent() 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", root, checkMute)
