[HELP] getPlayerTeam

[Imposter]

function playerTeamC () 
local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam ( source ) 
outputChatBox ( playerTeam, source ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", source, playerTeamC) 

This should work shouldn't it? I get this message in the console "WARNING: [GRNFS]\gr_cteam\server.lua:2: Bad 'player' pointer @ 'getPlayerTeam'(1)

[Castillo]

function playerTeamC () 
local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam ( source ) 
outputChatBox ( getTeamName ( playerTeam ), source ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", root, playerTeamC) 

[Imposter]

function playerTeamC () 
local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam ( source ) 
outputChatBox ( getTeamName ( playerTeam ), source ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", root, playerTeamC) 

thanks again!

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

[Imposter]

can you please explain why this doesnt work?

  
function damage() 
playerTeam = getTeamName ( getPlayerTeam ( source ) ) 
if playerTeam == ("Police Officers") then 
        outputChatBox ("COP",source) 
    else 
    outputChatBox ("Not A COP",source) 
    end if 
end 
addEventHandler( "onVehicleDamage", root, damage) 
  

[Castillo]

'source' of 'onVehicleDamage' is the vehicle that got damaged, not a player.

[Imposter]

'source' of 'onVehicleDamage' is the vehicle that got damaged, not a player.

how can i change it so if my car is damaged and my team is "Police Officers" it says you are a cop?

[Castillo]

Use the function: getVehicleController to get the vehicle driver.

[Imposter]

Use the function: getVehicleController to get the vehicle driver.

i suck at this, cant get anything right would you mind helping me out with the previous code you gave me?

  
--if you still remember, it tells the zoneowner if there is a player in it, now i want to change it so it only tells a person in the team "Street Racers" that there is a player in the "Police Officers" Team nearby when a player from the "Police Officers" team steps in the collision.

if ( zoneOwner ) == false  then 

Why you set "== false"?? that'll check if the zone doesn't has a owner, remove "== false".

[Imposter]

if ( zoneOwner ) == false  then 

i want it to check if it isnt the zoneowner

[albers14]

if getElementData(source, 'zoneOwner') == 'false' then  

setElementData ( playerZones [ source ], "zoneOwner", source --true/false? )
