Short question

[GTX]

Hello, I'm wondering how to get player name from account. I would be grateful if someone will help me

[Castillo]

-- server side:

addCommandHandler("getplayer", 
function (player, cmd, accountName) 
    local account = getAccount(accountName) 
    if (account and not isGuestAccount(account)) then 
        local thePlayer = getAccountPlayer(account) 
        if (thePlayer) then 
               outputChatBox("The owner of the account: ".. tostring(accountName) .." is: ".. tostring(getPlayerName(thePlayer)),player,0,255,0) 
        end 
    end 
end) 

This should work like this: /getplayer

function tables() 
    outputChatBox("Top 3 points:", getRootElement(), 255,255,255) 
    for index, data in ipairs(sortAccounts()) do 
        outputChatBox("#"..tostring(index)..": ".. tostring(data.account) .." - ".. tostring(data.points), getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255) 
        if index == 3 then 
            break 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("top", tables) 
  
function sortAccounts() 
    local rowdata = {} 
    for index, account in pairs(getAccounts()) do 
        rowdata[index] = { 
            account = getAccountPlayer(account), 
            points = getAccountData(account,"Points"), 
        } 
    end 
    local comparator = function (a, b) 
        return (tonumber(a.points) or 0) > (tonumber(b.points) or 0) 
    end 
    table.sort(rowdata, comparator) 
    return rowdata 
end 
  

You gave me this code, remember? Well, I tryied to make a fuse but I failed. This returns a userdata value, how can I fix it?

[Castillo]

What returns a userdata?

[GTX]

I think this: account = getAccountPlayer(account), line 17

[Castillo]

You want to get only the accounts that are in use? if so, try this:

function tables() 
    outputChatBox("Top 3 points:", getRootElement(), 255,255,255) 
    for index, data in ipairs(sortAccounts()) do 
        outputChatBox("#"..tostring(index)..": ".. tostring(data.name) .." - ".. tostring(data.points), getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255) 
        if index == 3 then 
            break 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("top", tables) 
  
function sortAccounts() 
    local rowdata = {} 
    for index, account in pairs(getAccounts()) do 
        if (not isGuestAccount(account)) then 
            rowdata[index] = { 
                name = getAccountPlayer(account), 
                points = getAccountData(account,"Points"), 
            } 
        end 
    end 
    local comparator = function (a, b) 
        return (tonumber(a.points) or 0) > (tonumber(b.points) or 0) 
    end 
    table.sort(rowdata, comparator) 
    return rowdata 
end 

[GTX]

This returns userdata also. But anyways, I want to edit this code:

function tables() 
    outputChatBox("Top 3 points:", getRootElement(), 255,255,255) 
    for index, data in ipairs(sortAccounts()) do 
        outputChatBox("#"..tostring(index)..": ".. tostring(data.account) .." - ".. tostring(data.points), getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255) 
        if index == 3 then 
            break 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("top", tables) 
  
function sortAccounts() 
    local rowdata = {} 
    for index, account in pairs(getAccounts()) do 
        rowdata[index] = { 
            account = getAccountPlayer(account), 
            points = getAccountData(account,"Points"), 
        } 
    end 
    local comparator = function (a, b) 
        return (tonumber(a.points) or 0) > (tonumber(b.points) or 0) 
    end 
    table.sort(rowdata, comparator) 
    return rowdata 
end 
  

This must get all account's "owners".

Do you want to get everyone's account on your server?

[GTX]

Well, not exactly; I want to get the "owner" of account

Hello, I'm wondering how to get player name from account. I would be grateful if someone will help me

i made this on my server to can get the player name from accoun't for a top list you just save on account data the player name on join and on nick change like

setAccountData(account,"Name",getPlayerName(player))  --and done  

[GTX]

Thank you, I was thinking about this too.

Thanks to everyone who helped me.

[GTX]

Sorry for double-posting but I've got a weird problem!

When I change nick, for example: I change nick to "xG|GTX" and then I see top: it returns the previous nick name and not "xG|GTX"!

  
function save() 
  
local account = getPlayerAccount(source) 
setAccountData(account,"Name",getPlayerName(source)) 
  
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChangeNick", getRootElement(), save) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), save) 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), save)

As far i see , you save the data on the account .

You can have 100 nicknames and 1 account , but not 100 accounts and 1 nickname , so

Try to /logout , /login

[GTX]

Oh, yes, I didn't even think about this.

[Castillo]

Ok, I found out my error, I never get the player name, just the player himself (userdata).

function tables() 
    outputChatBox("Top 3 points:", getRootElement(), 255,255,255) 
    for index, data in ipairs(sortAccounts()) do 
        outputChatBox("#"..tostring(index)..": ".. tostring(data.name) .." - ".. tostring(data.points), getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255) 
        if (index == 3) then 
            break 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("top", tables) 
  
function sortAccounts() 
    local rowdata = {} 
    for index, account in pairs(getAccounts()) do 
        if (not isGuestAccount(account) and getAccountPlayer(account)) then 
            table.insert(rowdata, {name = getPlayerName(getAccountPlayer(account)), points = getAccountData(account,"Points")}) 
        end 
    end 
    local comparator = function (a, b) 
        return (tonumber(a.points) or 0) > (tonumber(b.points) or 0) 
    end 
    table.sort(rowdata, comparator) 
    return rowdata 
end
