Multi language

[MIKI785]

Hi, I want to make a multi language messages, I have done for 1 player, who triggered the event or command:

function sendMessage (CZ, EN, source) 
  
if (getElementData(source, "lang") == "EN") then 
    outputChatBox(EN, source, 255, 0, 0, true) 
     
    else 
     
    outputChatBox(CZ, source, 255, 0, 0, true) 
    end 
end 

This is working, but how to do messages for all players? I have this:

for _, vehicleValue in ipairs(hraci) do --Vehicle value is because I copied this from command '''fixall'' ..  
    local hracuvJazyk = getElementData(hraci, "lang") 
       if (hracuvJazyk == "CZ") then 
       outputChatBox(CZ, hraci, 250, 0, 0, true) 
    end 
end 

But it doesn't work, and I think that this would work it will send message to all players, even to players which have different language..

How to do it?

EDIT: I probably made mistake, it should be:

  
hraci = getElementsByType("player") 
for _, vehicleValue in ipairs(hraci) do 
    local hracuvJazyk = getElementData(vehicleValue, "lang") 
       if (hracuvJazyk == "CZ") then 
       outputChatBox(CZ, hraci, 250, 0, 0, true) 
    end 
end

I understand that "hraci" is a table.

for _, element in ipairs(hraci) do 
    local hracuvJazyk = getElementData(element , "lang") 
       if (hracuvJazyk == "CZ") then 
       outputChatBox(CZ, element, 250, 0, 0, true) 
    end 
end

Yes, it should be:

hraci = getElementsByType("player") 
for _, element in ipairs(hraci) do 
    local hracuvJazyk = getElementData(element, "lang") 
       if (hracuvJazyk == "CZ") then 
       outputChatBox(CZ, hraci, 250, 0, 0, true) 
    end 
end 

But will it work?

it should send message to people which has CZ as language only...

Mind posting your whole code? it would help.

I won't post the whole .lua file, it has over 600 lines..

I just post that function:

function sendMessageAll (CZ, EN) 
  
hraci = getElementsByType("player") 
for _, vehicleValue in ipairs(hraci) do 
    local hracuvJazyk = getElementData(vehicleValue, "lang") 
       if (hracuvJazyk == "EN") then 
       outputChatBox(EN, vehicleValue, 250, 0, 0, true) 
    end 
    end  
  
for _, vehicleValue in ipairs(hraci) do 
    local hracuvJazyk = getElementData(vehicleValue, "lang") 
       if (hracuvJazyk == "CZ") then 
       outputChatBox(CZ, vehicleValue, 250, 0, 0, true) 
    end 
end 
end 
--This shloud be used like: sendMessageAll("Ahoj", "Hello") 

I editet it over 10 times..

function sendMessageAll (CZ, EN) 
hraci = getElementsByType("player") 
for _, player in ipairs(hraci) do 
    local hracuvJazyk = getElementData(player, "lang") 
       if (hracuvJazyk == "EN") then 
            outputChatBox(EN, player, 250, 0, 0, true) 
       elseif (hracuvJazyk == "CZ") then 
            outputChatBox(CZ, player, 250, 0, 0, true) 
        end 
    end 
end 
--This shloud be used like: sendMessageAll("Ahoj", "Hello") 

Should work.

Ok I'll try it, will it send the CZ text to players who has language set to CZ? And EN text to who has EN as language?

But as I'm looking at it, it should work, i'm still beginner

function sendMessageAll(CZ, EN) 
    for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        local hracuvJazyk = getElementData(player, "lang") 
        if (hracuvJazyk == "EN") then 
            outputChatBox(EN, player, 250, 0, 0, true) 
        else 
            outputChatBox(CZ, player, 250, 0, 0, true) 
        end 
    end 
end
