Admin chat

Charlie_Jefferson · October 11, 2011

Hai,

I'm trying to make a special command so that admins can speak to each other, without that chat being seen by normal players. Here's the code I've got. Help please and if you add more stuff to the code, please explain it, I'm new to lua scripting. Thanks!

function adminchat() 
  
    local account = getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName(string (account)), aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) and type == 0 then    
    cancelEvent ( ) 
    local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor(source) 
    outputChatBox ( "#00FF00[Admin]-#ffffff" .. getPlayerName ( source ) .. ": " .. message, getRootElement(), r, g, b, true ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("#C6FA78Fuck you.", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("a", adminchat)

Hmm can we know the error on Debugscript?

/debugscript 3

function adminchat(p,_,...) 
    local message = table.concat({...}, " ") 
    local account = getPlayerAccount (p) 
    if isGuestAccount(account) then return end 
    if not isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName(account), aclGetGroup("Admin") ) then return end 
  
    local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor(source) 
    outputChatBox ( "[Admin]"..getPlayerName ( source ) .. ":#ffffff " .. message, root, r, g, b, true ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, function() 
        bindKey(source, "u", "down", "chatbox", "a") 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler("a", adminchat)

Please learn from the code, because i spoon fed this.

Press U ingame to open the chat.

I have a problem

no where to put this script, I'm new mta. I'm learning.

By the way do not speak English very well so hopefully I understand

Charlie_Jefferson · October 12, 2011

Qaisjp, it gave me this error, now and I replaced my code with yours. It gave me the same error, on my code, except it was for a different function.

chironex · October 12, 2011

You tried this code from server console? If yes then you don't have a player name or color... Else well I don't know ^^

And Gamenob300, read the mta wiki, it's very useful!

Charlie_Jefferson · October 12, 2011

No. I made a .lua file with it and loaded it with the server console, yes.(the script) and then tried it and it gave me that error.

qaisjp · October 12, 2011

Aha yes, sorry. One minute.

edit:

function adminchat(_,...) 
    local p = source 
    local message = table.concat({...}, " ") 
    local account = getPlayerAccount (p) 
    if isGuestAccount(account) then return end 
    if not isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName(account), aclGetGroup("Admin") ) then return end 
  
    local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor(source) 
    outputChatBox ( "[Admin]"..getPlayerName ( source ) .. ":#ffffff " .. message, root, r, g, b, true ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, function() 
        bindKey(source, "u", "down", "chatbox", "a") 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler("a", adminchat)

Charlie_Jefferson · October 12, 2011

Yet, another error in the script:

Are you sure that you have the script on "server" side ?

Charlie_Jefferson · October 12, 2011

Yes.

Charlie_Jefferson · October 12, 2011

Hai, made some changes to my own script and now I get this error:

[2011-10-12 19:44:26] ERROR: achat\achat.lua:4: bad argument #1 to 'concat' (table expected, got string)

Script is here:

function adminchat(thePlayer, ...) 
  
    local word = ( ... ) 
    local message = table.concat(word, " ") 
     
    local account = getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) 
     
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. account, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) )   then 
        outputChatBox ( "#C6FA78[Admin]" .. getPlayerName ( thePlayer ) .. ": " .. message, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("#C6FA78No.", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("a", adminchat)

qaisjp · October 12, 2011

Worked, thanks! But it displays as: (color here)[Admin]Charlie: a test. And I didn't put that a there. Help!

Charlie_Jefferson · October 12, 2011

Also another problem with another script.

function veh(thePlayer, modelid) 
  
    local X = 5 
    local Y = 0 
    local Z = 0 
     
    model = modelid 
    player = getPlayerName( thePlayer ) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. player, aclGetGroup("Admin") )    then 
        createVehicle (modelid, X, Y, Z) 
    elseif not isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. player, getACLGroup("Admin") )    then 
        outputChatBox ( "Admin cmd only!" ) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("veh", veh)

It works, I get no error/debug error but the car doesn't spawn.

chironex · October 12, 2011

Z 0 is under ground at this place, that's maybe why...

Castillo · October 12, 2011

function veh(thePlayer, cmd, modelid) 
    local X = 5 
    local Y = 0 
    local Z = 0 
    local model = tonumber(modelid) 
  
    if isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(player)), aclGetGroup("Admin") )    then 
        createVehicle (model, X, Y, Z) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Admin cmd only!" ) 
    end 
end  
addCommandHandler("veh", veh)

qaisjp · October 13, 2011

function veh(thePlayer, cmd, modelid) 
    local x,y,z = getElementPosition(thePlayer) 
    local model = tonumber(modelid) 
  
    if isObjectInACLGroup ("user." .. getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(player)), aclGetGroup("Admin") )    then 
        createVehicle (model, x+5,y,z) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Admin cmd only!" ) 
    end 
end  
addCommandHandler("veh", veh)

i think that is waht u want

Charlie_Jefferson · October 13, 2011

Qaisjp, your script gave me some errors, so I just integrated it into mine. thanks. But I still get that unwated "a" on the admin chat script. I type something and it's like [Admin]Charlie: a hai.

qaisjp · October 14, 2011

function adminchat(thePlayer, _,...) 
  
    local word = {...} 
    local message = table.concat(word, " ") 
     
    local account = getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) 
     
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName(account), aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) )   then 
        outputChatBox ( "#C6FA78[Admin]" .. getPlayerName ( thePlayer ) .. ": " .. message, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("#C6FA78No.", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("a", adminchat)

I am very nice, aren't I

Castillo · October 14, 2011

That's pretty weird, is an admin chat or a kind of announcer? because you are sending the message to everyone.

P.S: That "No" message is sent to all, can be abused to spam.

qaisjp · October 14, 2011

  
function outputForAdmins(player, msg) 
  for i,v in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
     local account = getPlayerAccount ( v ) 
     
     if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName(account), aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) )   then 
        outputChatBox ( "#C6FA78[Admin]" .. getPlayerName ( player ) .. ": " .. message, v, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
     end 
  end 
end 
function adminchat(thePlayer, _,...) 
  
    local word = {...} 
    local message = table.concat(word, " ") 
     
    local account = getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) 
     
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. getAccountName(account), aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) )   then 
        outputForAdmins(thePlayer, message) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("#C6FA78No.", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("a", adminchat)

This one is only to show what you say for admins, above castillos post is announce

Charlie_Jefferson · October 14, 2011
