Commands for people..

[Xeno]

Ok, I don't really know whats it called, but I know it has a specific name...

I want to know how to do one of them /setmoney [name] [cash] -- But I have no clue how, could you give me some way to do this?

Thanks,

Xeno.

[Castillo]

I don't understand what do you mean, you want to restrict commands using ACL? or for only some players? like checking their serials.

[Xeno]

Sorry, I'm rubbish at explaining:

I mean like one of these, for example,

/jail [playername]

I need to know how to make one of these^

What do you need to know about it, getPlayerFromPartialName?

[Castillo]

function sayHello(thePlayer, cmd, who) 
    if (who and who ~= "") then 
        local player = getPlayerFromName(who) 
        if (not player) then outputChatBox("This player does not exists.",thePlayer,255,0,0) return end 
        outputChatBox("Hello ".. getPlayerName(player) .. " from ".. getPlayerName(thePlayer) .."!",player,0,255,0) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("hello",sayHello) 

That?

[Xeno]

function sayHello(thePlayer, cmd, who) 
    if (who and who ~= "") then 
        local player = getPlayerFromName(who) 
        if (not player) then outputChatBox("This player does not exists.",thePlayer,255,0,0) return end 
        outputChatBox("Hello ".. getPlayerName(player) .. " from ".. getPlayerName(thePlayer) .."!",player,0,255,0) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("hello",sayHello) 

That?

Yes, that is exactly what I need... But I need to setElementData with it, so I can do something like /setrank Awesome

I gave it ago...:

function sayHello(thePlayer, cmd, who) 
    if (who and who ~= "") then 
        local player = getPlayerFromName(who) 
        if (not player) then outputChatBox("This player does not exists.",thePlayer,255,0,0) return end 
      setElementData(player,"Rank","Awesome") 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("setRank",sayHello) 

But I guess this wouldn't work..

[Castillo]

function setRank(thePlayer, cmd, who) 
    if (who and who ~= "") then 
        local player = getPlayerFromName(who) 
        if (not player) then outputChatBox("This player does not exists.",thePlayer,255,0,0) return end 
        setElementData(player,"Rank","Awesome") 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("setRank",setRank) 

[Xeno]

Thats awesome.

Would there be a way to do something like /setRank [name] [rank] ? Or is that not possible at all?

[Castillo]

Of course it's possible.

function setRank(thePlayer, cmd, who, ...) 
    if (who and who ~= "") then 
        local player = getPlayerFromName(who) 
        local rank = table.concat({...}, " ") 
        if (not player) then outputChatBox("This player does not exists.",thePlayer,255,0,0) return end 
        setElementData(player,"Rank",tostring(rank)) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("setRank",setRank) 

[Xeno]

It says I don't exist when I type in the command.
