/kill help

[ThaD4N13L]

function commitSuicide ( sourcePlayer ) 
    -- kill the player and make him responsible for it 
    killPed ( sourcePlayer, sourcePlayer ) 
        -- shows the kill msg 
        outputChatBox (theTarget .. "has suicided.", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
end 
-- attach our handler to the "kill" command 
addCommandHandler ( "kill", commitSuicide ) 

is this right to show the output chatbox of the person who has used the command?

[12p]

I would suggest

function commitSuicide ( cmd ) 
    if cmd == "kill" then 
        -- kill the player and make him responsible for it 
        killPed ( source, source ) 
        -- shows the kill msg 
        outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( source ) .. " killed himself.", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    end 
end 
-- attach our handler to the "kill" command 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerCommand", getRootElement ( ), commitSuicide ) 

Try it.

i think there is a inbuilt /kill comand too you might have to cancel that first

[ThaD4N13L]

Naw theres not and thanks it works

btw I am going to need much more help since I am learning lua .

That command is on some gamemodes, but is not a built-on command.

P.S: Really DanChris? if so, good luck .

Why use an event when you can use a function?

[CapY]

So he can see the chat output .

[qaisjp]

So he can see the chat output .

What?

[CapY]

When you type /kill, you don't see any chat output, like: "playername killed himself", but with this script, you can.

[qaisjp]

/kill is in the freeroam....

function commitSuicide (  ) 
        -- kill the player and make him responsible for it 
        killPed ( source, source ) 
        -- shows the kill msg 
        outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( source ) .. " killed himself.", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
end 
-- attach our handler to the "kill" command 
addCommandHandler ( "kill",  commitSuicide ) 

will do the same thing

using events for that is useless

[12p]

using events for that is useless

Isn't useless.

It's just a different way to do it and may be easier to create multiple command handlers using one function only.

[Aibo]

multiple command handlers can use single function just fine:

function herpDerp(player, command) 
  if command == "herp" then 
    -- insert your fabulous shit here © 
  elseif  command == "derp" then 
    -- insert your fabulous shit here © 
  end 
end 
addCommandHandler("herp", herpDerp) 
addCommandHandler("derp", herpDerp) 

i also dont see the point of using event and not the command handler.

if player types "/anything" it wont show in the chat either way, because it's a command.

people should be pointing out the errors in the posted script (like undefined "theTarget" var),

and not offering new and exciting ways to do stuff. it confuses people.

in my opinion, anyway.

I think I'll use Qais's btw thanks guy(s).

I only seen it on ShoDown RP but I am out of that RP its got over the limit of RP people don't Rp anymore exept on vG /: so

multiple command handlers can use single function just fine:

function herpDerp(player, command) 
  if command == "herp" then 
    -- insert your fabulous :~ here © 
  elseif  command == "derp" then 
    -- insert your fabulous :~ here © 
  end 
end 
addCommandHandler("herp", herpDerp) 
addCommandHandler("derp", herpDerp) 

It makes +2 lines of code per command.

[Aibo]

well good luck adding ACL for those commands then.

seriously, command handlers are there for a reason.

[12p]

if hasObjectPermissionTo ( "user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(player)), "command.ban" ) then

It will take less time (just 1 file to edit) and probably less lines.

But yea, it is easier to just add command handlers lol

I think I'll use Qais's btw thanks guy(s).

Great
