I fail...

[Charlie_Jefferson]

Hi.

I'm trying to make an admin "hud". It's basically some labels, which display down the screen, so you know your account name, admin level and nickname. I can't seem to get it working though. No errors are displayed. I checked both, server window and debugscript. It's a simple thing, thought I can't do it... Help? :3

Client code

function createGUI(acc, atype, pname) 
  
accname = guiCreateLabel(11,745,96,18,string(acc),false) 
  
admtype = guiCreateLabel(135,745,96,18,string(atype),false) 
  
nick = guiCreateLabel(280,745,96,18,string(pname),false) 
  
end 
addEvent("infosend", true) 
addEventHandler("infosend", root, createGUI) 

Server code

function check() 
  
acc = getAccountName(source) 
  
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..acc, ACLGetGroup("admin"))   then 
         
        atype = "admin" 
        pname = getPlayerName(source) 
        triggerClientEvent("infosend", root, acc, atype, pname) 
         
        else 
     
    end 
  
end 
  

Note: I only wrote 1 acl group yet, for the testing to be easier. I made this script quickly(2 minutes) because I was on a rush.

function check() 
    local acc = getPlayerAccount(source) 
    local accName = getAccountName(acc) 
  
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..acc, aclGetGroup("admin"))   then 
        
        atype = "admin" 
        pname = getPlayerName(source) 
        triggerClientEvent(source, "infosend", source, accName, atype, pname) 
    end 
end

See, I told you I fail...

I would suggest you build the Labels outisde of the function and use guiSetVisible in the triggered function.

[TAPL]

it's 'aclGetGroup' not 'ACLGetGroup'

function check() 
    local acc = getPlayerAccount(source) 
    local accName = getAccountName(acc) 
  
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..acc, aclGetGroup("admin")) then 
        
        atype = "admin" 
        pname = getPlayerName(source) 
        triggerClientEvent(source, "infosend", source, accName, atype, pname) 
    end 
end

Oh. Noob mistake there, for me... Anyway, strange that the debugscript and server window weren't displaying a function error.

[TAPL]

how you are calling the function check ?

[Charlie_Jefferson]

That's also right, TAPL. Thanks .

Edit: Errors I get when I run it:

[2012-01-15 00:16:20] WARNING: adminhud\adminhud_s.lua:3: Bad argument @ 'getAccountName' [Expected account at argument 1, got boolean]

[2012-01-15 00:16:20] ERROR: adminhud\adminhud_s.lua:5: attempt to concatenate local 'acc' (a boolean value)

Sorry for this bump, but no one was looking at this and I need it badly.

attach the "onPlayerLogin" event to the function :

  
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",root,check)
