ChatBox Script

[xxldoener]

Ok, I just started scripting today and I wanted to start off very simpel, but I failed with my plan.

First thing I programmed a code with which a message is given once a player enters a server. Everybody on the server can read this message. Next thing I wanted to make another message when entering the server, but this one should only be shown to the person that entered the server. I tried everything that came to my mind. I know that you can do

outputChatBox(text, visibleTo) 

but I don't know what to enter for "visibileTo". The only thing I got it to work with was GetRandomPlayer() which is not what I want. But all the commands like getLocalPlaeyer() are client sided thus don't work.

Can any1 help me?

You're using the event: onPlayerJoin? if so, then use 'source'.

So here is my code, but it doesn't work...

function welcomemsg() 
local name = getPlayerName(source) 
         outputConsole('Welcome to the server, '..name..' !', source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), welcomemsg) 

Edit: Ok, I finally got it

function welcomemsg ( ) 
    local name = getPlayerName ( source ) 
    outputChatBox ( "Welcome to the server, " .. name .. "!", source) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), welcomemsg)

Yeah, you was using outputConsole instead of outputChatBox .
