Applying Spawn Classes to ALC Groups

[damien111]

Restricting ALC Groups and Classes together is what i want. For invite only groups. But i cant figure it out. Heres my server side code which is all i edited.

  
g_root = getRootElement( ); 
classGroups = { }; 
  
  
addEvent( "spawn_clientRequestSpawn", true ); 
addEventHandler( "spawn_clientRequestSpawn", g_root, 
    function( categoryIndex, classIndex, skinIndex ) 
        if skinIndex then 
            local class = classGroups[ categoryIndex ].classes[ classIndex ]; 
            local skin = class.skinMngr.skins[ skinIndex ]; 
            local spawn = true; 
            local spawned; 
            --[[if not classGroups[ cetegoryIndex ].owner then -- if there is NO owner of the clan/gang spawn player 
                spawn = true; 
            else -- if there IS owner of the clan/gang then check if he's member of the clan/gang 
                 
            end]] 
            if skin.modelId == 29 and not isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(client)), aclGetGroup ( "SoS" ) ) then spawn = false end 
            if spawn then 
                if not class.team then 
                    class.team = createTeam( class.name, class.color.red, class.color.green, class.color.blue ); 
                end 
                 
                local plrTeam = getPlayerTeam( client ); 
                if ( ( plrTeam ) and ( plrTeam ~= class.team ) and ( countPlayersInTeam( plrTeam ) == 1 ) ) then 
                    destroyElement( plrTeam ); 
                end 
                 
                spawned = spawnPlayer( 
                    client, 
                    skin.spawnLoc.x, 
                    skin.spawnLoc.y, 
                    skin.spawnLoc.z, 
                    skin.spawnLoc.rot, 
                    skin.modelId, 
                    0, 0, 
                    class.team 
                ); 
            end 
             
            if spawned then 
                setElementData( client, "team", class.name ) 
                fadeCamera( client, true ); 
                setCameraTarget( client, client ); 
                setTimer( setCameraTarget, 200, 1, client, client ); 
                 
                triggerClientEvent( client, "spawn_SpawnedSuccessfully", client ); 
                 
                --setPlayerMoney( client, 500 ); 
                for _, weapon in ipairs( class.weaponMngr.weapons ) do 
                    giveWeapon( client, weapon.id, weapon.ammo, false ); 
                end 
                createBlipAttachedTo( client, 0, 2, class.color.red, class.color.green, class.color.blue ) 
            else 
                triggerClientEvent( client, "spawn_FailedToSpawn", client ); 
                if countPlayersInTeam( class.team ) == 0 then 
                    destroyElement( class.team ); 
                    class.team = nil; 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
); 
  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerSpawn", g_root, 
    function ( ) 
     
    end 
); 
  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerWasted", g_root, 
    function( ) 
        fadeCamera( source, false, 4 ); 
        setTimer( requestMenu, 5000, 1, source ); 
        deleteAllPlayerBlips( source ) 
    end 
); 
  
function requestMenu( player ) 
    callClientFunc( player, "showSpawnMenu", true, true ); 
    callClientFunc( player, "classSelected" ); 
end 
  
  
addCommandHandler( "kill", 
    function( plr ) 
        killPed( plr ); 
    end 
) 
  
  
  
function preloadClassesInfo( ) 
    local groups = getElementsByType( "category" ); 
    for _, group in ipairs( groups ) do 
        table.insert( classGroups, Group:New( group ) ); 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(), preloadClassesInfo ) 
  
  
function deleteAllPlayerBlips(player) 
    local elements = getAttachedElements(player) 
    if (elements) then 
        for i, element in ipairs(elements) do 
            if (getElementType(element) == "blip") then 
                destroyElement(element) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    print( "number of players in team: " .. tostring( countPlayersInTeam( getPlayerTeam( player ) ) ) ); 
end 
  
addEventHandler( "onPlayerQuit", g_root, function() deleteAllPlayerBlips(source) end ); 
  
  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
function callClientFunc( player, funcName, ... ) 
    if #{ ... } ~= 0 then 
        triggerClientEvent( player, "_clientCallFunction", root, funcName, ... ) 
    else 
        triggerClientEvent( player, "_clientCallFunction", root, funcName ) 
    end 
end 
  
addEvent( "_serverCallFunction", true ) 
addEventHandler( "_serverCallFunction", root,  
    function( funcName, ... ) 
        _G[ funcName ](...) 
    end 
) 

and the line i added is after line 18. its

if skin.modelId == 29 and not isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(client)), aclGetGroup ( "SoS" ) ) then spawn = false end 

Im new to scripting but i know other langauges. Thanks in advance!

[Castillo]

Topic moved to "Scripting" section.

Maybe if you would tell us what is the exact problem.

[damien111]

Thanks for replying so quicky! Its just not restricting it. i thought that would do it. but it didnt.

[Castillo]

Are you sure that: "skin.modelId" value is "29"?

[damien111]

hahaha, Im almost positive. lemme check, ima be so stupid feeling if it isnt.

Edit: Nope, its id 29, for the white drug dealer. https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Skins_Page_1 the last one on that is my skin. Im stumped.

[Castillo]

Ok, let's try debugging and see what it outputs:

Use that and post here what it outputs to chat box.

How to debug? is it like /debug script ZIPARCHIVENAME? or what

[triplesnake]

How to debug? is it like /debug script ZIPARCHIVENAME? or what

/debugscript 3

[damien111]

I did the command now what

[Castillo]

By debugging I meant adding outputs to see what it returns, do what I said in my latest post.

[damien111]

nvm figured it out, this came up :

SPAWNTEST\c_main.lua:28:addEventHandler:'onClientRender' with this function is already handled

[Castillo]

That has nothing to do with your problem, do what I said above.

[damien111]

i did, i spawned as the class, SoT, and it came up with that error i did /debugscript 3, spawned, and it had that error. ill try again

[Castillo]

Did you replace your code with the one I posted above? if so, then it has to output some data.

[damien111]

Let me try again. i mightive clicked the wrong one they have sam name, one just has a 1 after it.

[damien111]

ERROR:SPAWNTEST2/S_main.lua:19: attempt to concatenate a boolean value is what it gave me

[Castillo]

Copy the code again.

[damien111]

AHA! I FIGURED IT OUT I added the acl/group in the in game manager, but not in acl.xml. Sorry for this. i hope you will forgive me for being so dumb.

[Castillo]

Oh, so I assume it's working now.

[damien111]

No it isnt. Sorry. I meant to post this yesterday. I have no debug errors but it is not locking the dam class. :C I will keep working but feel free to help(PLEASE)

[Castillo]

Mind uploading the whole spawn system to: mediafire.com and paste the link here? so I can see what's wrong.

[damien111]

its just not restricting it but, ok. i didnt make it im trying to edit some stuff. Here is the basic thing im trying to do: http://www.mediafire.com/?rgzy53f0rdgt3tt i didnt make this but im gonna make it better, but i need to know hw to restrict it to teams/groups/acl's anything like that. i just need to restric them.

[Castillo]

I found your problem, the value of: skin.modelId is a string, not a number, so the result is "29", not 29.

if ( skin.modelId == "29" and not isObjectInACLGroup ( "user.".. getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( client ) ), aclGetGroup ( "SoS" ) ) ) then 
    spawn = false 
end 

With that it'll work, tested.

[myonlake]

Also, just saying. Models are integers. When you try to compare a string with an integer, it will return an error. Then again when you try to output a message, which tells you your location, you don't need to separately mark them as floats/integers in general, because the message will always return a string, so adding tostring() or tonumber() won't affect anything.

What you have there is the first thing I told you, which is trying to compare a string with an integer. So as solidsnake already advised you to do, is to add the string (quotation marks). It's logical and interesting afterall.

Good luck!

I added all that i needed. it worked with 1 but when i added more it didnt here is my code.

Also , how can i make it so it detects when someone cant spawn as the class and then displays a message box. or panel or something.

ps- Thanks myonlake!
