Hi All, like title says "why my lift is not working"

addCommandHandler("Lift",

Thnx So much!!!

EDIT: Still help needed, when i teleport anywhere with lift then i fall down and lift go to target. how to make player not fall when lift move ?

EDIT2: I want to warp player to lift, who not an admin(not have permission) and i need a command to give and take permission. Pls help

[Twiz.]

For edit 1 : i believe you could freeze him with the command : "setElementFrozen" .

i dont know what you mean with the 2nd edit. Could you tell me again please.

[Perfect]

from 2ndEdit i mean

if i write /pwarp "playername"

then that player warped to Lift

and another thing i want a command to give permission to player for use "Lift" and other commands. and another command for

take player permission (then that player can't use "Lift" and other commands)

[sockz]

function setLiftLevel (sourcePlayer,command,targetPlayer) 
local accName = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(sourcePlayer )) 
     if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..accName,aclGetGroup ("Admin")) then 
        outputChatBox ("You may not use this command",sourcePlayer) 
    end 
    if targetPlayer then 
        setElementData ( targetPlayer, "lift.permission", true ) 
        outputChatBox ( "You have granted "..targetPlayer.." permission to use /lift", sourcePlayer ) 
    elseif getElementData(targetPlayer, "lift.permission", true ) then 
            setElementData ( targetPlayer, "lift.permission", false ) 
        outputChatBox ( "You have taken "..targetPlayer.." permission to use /lift", sourcePlayer ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ("" .. targetPlayer .. " does not exist.", sourcePlayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "liftpermission", setLiftLevel ) 

then use

if getElementData(thePlayer, "lift.permission", true ) then 

instead of

local accName = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(sourcePlayer )) 
     if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..accName,aclGetGroup ("Admin")) then 

on /lift cmd

[Perfect]

confuse , can you attach that to my script pls ?

[sockz]

addCommandHandler("Lift",

function( thePlayer, Command ) -- You forgot function here

if getElementData(thePlayer, "lift.permission", true ) then

liftWarpPlayer(thePlayer)

else

outputChatBox ( "#FF0000Permission: You Don't have Permission to use This Command", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true )

end

end

)

[Perfect]

hm, i don't need this ?

function setLiftLevel (sourcePlayer,command,targetPlayer) 
local accName = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(sourcePlayer )) 
     if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..accName,aclGetGroup ("Admin")) then 
        outputChatBox ("You may not use this command",sourcePlayer)

    else 
        outputChatBox ("" .. targetPlayer .. " does not exist.", sourcePlayer)

You need to use

getPlayerFromName 

or

I did'nt understand anything, pls give examples because i am beginner

EDIT: i do this

function liftPermission( sourcePlayer, command, who ) 
    local targetPlayer=getPlayerFromName(who) 
    if ( targetPlayer ) then 
      setElementData ( targetPlayer, "lift.permission", true ) 
        outputChatBox ( "You have granted "..targetPlayer.." permission to use /lift", sourcePlayer ) 
    elseif getElementData(targetPlayer, "lift.permission", true ) then 
            setElementData ( targetPlayer, "lift.permission", false ) 
        outputChatBox ( "You have taken "..targetPlayer.." permission to use /lift", sourcePlayer ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ("" .. targetPlayer .. " does not exist.", sourcePlayer) 
    end 
end  
addCommandHandler ( "Lper", liftPermission ) 
addCommandHandler("Lift", 
function( thePlayer, Command ) -- You forgot function here 
if getElementData(thePlayer, "lift.permission", true ) then 
liftWarpPlayer(thePlayer) 
else 
outputChatBox ( "#FF0000Permission: You Don't have Permission to use This Command", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
end 
end 
) 

and got this

ERROR: Lift\lift.lua:16: attempt to concatenate local 'targetPlayer' (a boolean value)

What now ?

Example 1

tPlayer = getPlayerFromName(targetPlayer) 
if tPlayer then 
     setElementData(tPlayer, "lift.permission", true) 
     outputChatBox("You have granted "..targetPlayer.." permission to use /lift", sourcePlayer) 
end 

Example 2

function getPlayerFromNamePart(name) 
    if name then  
        for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            if string.find(getPlayerName(player):lower(), tostring(name):lower(), 1, true) then 
                return player  
            end 
        end 
    end 
    return false 
end 
  
tPlayer = getPlayerFromNamePart(targetPlayer) 
if tPlayer then 
     setElementData(tPlayer, "lift.permission", true) 
     outputChatBox("You have granted "..getPlayerName(tPlayer).." permission to use /lift", sourcePlayer) 
end 

[Perfect]

this is correct ?

local lift = createObject(8231, -1326, -67, 55) 
createBlipAttachedTo(lift, 5) 
setElementData(lift, "vglueable", true, true) 
setElementDoubleSided( lift, true) 
  
function permissionl() 
 tPlayer = getPlayerFromName(targetPlayer) 
if tPlayer then 
     setElementData(tPlayer, "lift.permission", true) 
     outputChatBox("You have granted "..targetPlayer.." permission to use /Lift", sourcePlayer) 
end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("Lper", permissionl) 
addCommandHandler("lift", 
function( thePlayer, Command ) 
  
if getElementData(thePlayer, "lift.permission", true ) then 
liftWarpPlayer(thePlayer) 
else 
outputChatBox ( "#FF0000Permission: You Don't have Permission to use This Command", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
end 
end

still can't give permission, just can remove

[sockz]

if you have permission, it'll take it (if use again), if you dont, it'll give.

remember to restart resource

Wow, worked , thnx!!!

can you tell me why that not work before ?

and How to attachElement ?Pls

  
function attachplayer(player,cmd) 
    attachElements ( lift, players, 0, 0, 5 ) 
end 
function unattachplayer(player,cmd) 
    detachElements(lift,player) 
addCommandHandler("attlift",attachplayer) 
addCommandHandler("unattlift",unattachplayer) 

P

[sockz]

line 9.

looks like you cant check if the data is false, i suppose the whole line turns nil as it doesn't exist.

[TAPL]

because there were wrong arguments, i was writing it quickly ..

This

if getElementData(player, "lift.permission") then 

was sholud be

if not getElementData(tPlayer, "lift.permission") then 

and this have wrong Data name, was should be lift.permission not Lift.permission

setElementData(tPlayer, "Lift.permission", true) 
setElementData(tPlayer, "Lift.permission", false) 

EDIT

  
function attachplayer(player,cmd) 
    attachElements ( lift, players, 0, 0, 5 ) 
end 
function unattachplayer(player,cmd) 
    detachElements(lift,player) 
addCommandHandler("attlift",attachplayer) 
addCommandHandler("unattlift",unattachplayer) 

should be:

function attachplayer(player) 
    attachElements(player, lift, 0, 0, 5) 
end 
addCommandHandler("attlift",attachplayer) 
  
function unattachplayer(player) 
    detachElements(player,lift) 
end
