unexpected symbols

[Agon]

Hi this is my code and it says in line 3 there is an unexpected symbol near "if". i tried removing "(" and ")" but it said: ")" expected near "=".. what's wrong with that?

function hideMe(source) 
local account = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)) 
if (getElementAlpha(source) == 255) and if (isPlayerNametagShowing(source)) then 
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user." .. account, aclGetGroup("Admin")) then 
     setPlayerNametagShowing(source, false) 
     setElementAlpha(source, 0) 
     
     elseif isObjectInACLGroup("user." .. account, aclGetGroup("SuperModerator")) then 
     setPlayerNametagShowing(source, false) 
     setElementAlpha(source, 0) 
     
     elseif isObjectInACLGroup("user." .. account, aclGetGroup("Moderator")) then 
     setPlayerNametagShowing(source, false) 
     setElementAlpha(source, 0) 
      
else outputChatBox("You are not allowed to use this command!", source, 255, 0, 0) 
   end 
else setElementAlpha(source, 255) 
setPlayerNametagShowing(source, true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("hide", getRootElement(), hideMe)

function hideMe( source ) 
    local account = getAccountName( getPlayerAccount( source ) ) 
    if getElementAlpha( source ) == 255 and isPlayerNametagShowing( source ) then 
        if isObjectInACLGroup( "user." .. account, aclGetGroup( "Admin" ) ) then 
            setPlayerNametagShowing( source, false ) 
            setElementAlpha( source, 0 ) 
        elseif isObjectInACLGroup( "user." .. account, aclGetGroup( "SuperModerator" ) ) then 
            setPlayerNametagShowing( source, false ) 
            setElementAlpha( source, 0 ) 
        elseif isObjectInACLGroup( "user." .. account, aclGetGroup( "Moderator" ) ) then 
            setPlayerNametagShowing( source, false ) 
            setElementAlpha( source, 0 ) 
        else  
            outputChatBox( "You are not allowed to use this command!", source, 255, 0, 0 )

Server side:

function hideMe() 
   local acc = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)) 
    if getElementAlpha(source) == 255 and isPlayerNametagShowing(source) then 
      if isObjectInACLGroup('user.' .. acc, aclGetGroup('Admin')) then 
        setPlayerNametagShowing(source,false) 
        setElementAlpha(source,0) 
      end 
      elseif isObjectInACLGroup('user.' .. acc, aclGetGroup('SuperModerator')) then 
        setPlayerNametagShowing(source,false) 
        setElementAlpha(source,0) 
      end 
      elseif isObjectInACLGroup('user.' .. acc, aclGetGroup('Moderator')) then 
        setPlayerNametagShowing(source,false) 
        setElementAlpha(source,0) 
     end 
     else 
        outputChatBox('You are not allowed to use this command!', source, 255, 0, 0, false)

Why he needs setElementAlpha(source,255) setPlayerNametagShowing(source,true) ?

[Kenix]

Idk

[Agon]

Oh i see my fault thank you.

Why he needs setElementAlpha(source,255) setPlayerNametagShowing(source,true) ?

is it because I'm trying to make a script that makes admins, supmods, and mods invisible?

[drk]

It dont need setElementAlpha(source,255) setPlayerNametagShowing(source,true) because it will return if player is admin, smod or mod, if isn't one of these it will output in chat box, nothing more. Then dont need this

It dont need setElementAlpha(source,255) setPlayerNametagShowing(source,true) because it will return if player is admin, smod or mod, if isn't one of these it will output in chat box, nothing more. Then dont need this

oh you mean it will make me visible again when i type /hide without putting setElementAlpha(source,255) and setPlayerNametagShowing(source,true) in the script?

[Kenix]

local state = { } 
  
function hideMe( source ) 
    local account = getAccountName( getPlayerAccount( source ) ) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup( "user." .. account, aclGetGroup( "Admin" ) ) or 
    isObjectInACLGroup( "user." .. account, aclGetGroup( "SuperModerator" ) ) or 
    isObjectInACLGroup( "user." .. account, aclGetGroup( "Moderator" ) ) then 
        state[ source ] = not state[ source ] 
        if state[ source ] then 
            setElementAlpha( source,0 ) 
            outputChatBox( 'invisible' ) 
        else 
            setElementAlpha( source,255 ) 
            outputChatBox( 'visible' ) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox( 'Access denied for this command.' ) 
    end  
end 
addCommandHandler( "hide", hideMe ) 
  
addEventHandler( 'onPlayerQuit',root, 
    function( ) 
        state[ source ] = nil 
    end 
)

No. This only get player acl group and if is in admin, smod or mod it will set element alpha and hide player nametag. If you want to set default again see what Kenix made.

[Kenix]

Take my code again.

I fix small problem

[Agon]

oh ok then. thank you guys

Edit: ok Kenix
