Setting Teams Error

[Cyandie]

Okay so I have this script server sided and it won't put me in the team when i type in /criminal

here is my code

function setTeamCriminal( thePlayer ) 
    setPlayerTeam(thePlayer, "Criminals") 
end 
addCommandHandler("criminal", setTeamCriminal) 

[Al3grab]

the 2nd argument should be a team element so use the function 'getTeamFromName'

[Cyandie]

So like this?

function setTeamCriminal( thePlayer ) 
    local criminalteam = getTeamFromName ( "Criminals" ) 
    setPlayerTeam(thePlayer, criminalteam) 
end 
addCommandHandler("criminal", setTeamCriminal) 

?

Yes.

Server-Side

function what () 
local why = createTeam ('Criminals') 
if ( why ) then 
local go = getTeamFromName( 'Criminals') 
if ( go ) then 
setPlayerTeam( source, go ) 
outputChatBox('You Are Now  Criminal ',source,255,255,0) 
end 
end 
end 
addCommandHandler("criminal", what)

@ Al3grab Worked thanks

Server-Side

function what () 
local why = createTeam ('Criminals') 
if ( why ) then 
local go = getTeamFromName( 'Criminals') 
if ( go ) then 
setPlayerTeam( source, go ) 
outputChatBox('You Are Now  Criminal ',source,255,255,0) 
end 
end 
end 
addCommandHandler("criminal", what) 

What the fuck? That is a giant mess. Neither is it was the topic starter asked for. If he would like to do it your way I would recommend:

local crimTeam = createTeam("Criminals") 
  
function setTeam(tPlayer) 
      setPlayerTeam(tPlayer, crimTeam) 
      outputChatBox("You Are Now Criminal", tPlayer, 255, 255, 0) 
end 
addCommandHandler("criminal", setTeam)

That code is a big mess to be honest and not very stable.
