[CODE] getOnlineAdmins()

[codeluaeveryday]

Hey all, i've created a function which gets all online admins.

Source:

function getOnlineAdmins() 
    count = 0 
    online = "" 
    for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if hasObjectPermissionTo(v,"function.setPlayerMuted",true) then 
            online = getPlayerName(v).."  "..online 
            count = count+1 
        end 
    end 
    return online, count 
end 

Returns:

A string of admins, spaced out.

Example:

function getOnlineAdmins() 
    count = 0 
    online = "" 
    for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if hasObjectPermissionTo(v,"function.setPlayerMuted",true) then 
            online = getPlayerName(v).."  "..online 
            count = count+1 
        end 
    end 
    return online, count 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("test", 
function() 
local online, count = getOnlineAdmins() 
outputChatBox("ONLINE: ("..count..") "..online) 
end ) 

This will say in chatbox if one admin in online aka me..

ONLINE: 1 csmit195.

I hope you enjoy my source code. Take a look at my new admins resource.

If you want the online ADMINS, I would suggest to check for the "command.ban" permission.

Because this code applies to mods, smods and admins.

I suggest you to add it to "Useful functions" page at the wiki: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Useful_Functions

Cool.

@Castillo. How do I create a new wiki page... I've looked and looked... I would love this in the useful functions. First ill add more features.

@Ben, my script was meant to be returning all admins/mods/smods.

@Ben, my script was meant to be returning all admins/mods/smods.

In that case, getOnlineStaffMembers() would make more sense.

Yeah im logged in easy that. I know alot about openid, but i am having issues finding the new page option...

Just type in search the new page title and click search, if it exists it will show you the page's link, if it doesn't, it will show you "Create this page".

Thanks. Done it:

Please let me know if i need to improve it.

My opinion is that it should return a table with every group and their group members.
