[Perfect]

Hi All, I get this script from a topic and i add some changes but script not working.

function autounban(player,cmd,targetPlayer) 
     tPlayer = getPlayerFromName(targetPlayer) 
     if tPlayer then 
          if not getElementData(tPlayer, "auto.unban") then 
               setElementData(tPlayer, "auto.unban", true) 
               outputChatBox("You have given unbanned protection to "..targetPlayer.." !", player) 
          else 
               setElementData(tPlayer, "lift.permission", false) 
               outputChatBox("You have taken unbanned protestion from "..targetPlayer.." !", player) 
          end 
     end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("banprotect", autounban) 
  
function(player,targetPlayer) 
     tPlayer = getPlayerFromName(targetPlayer) 
     if getElementData(player, "auto.unban") then 
 local tIP = getPlayerIP(targetPlayer) 
 local tSerial = getPlayerSerial(targetPlayer) 
 local tName = getPlayerName(targetPlayer) 
 addEventHandler ( "onBan", root, 
    function ( theBan ) 
        local bSerial = getBanSerial ( theBan ) 
        local bIP = getBanIP ( theBan ) 
        local bNick = getBanNick ( theBan ) 
        if ( tSerial [ bSerial ] or tIP [ bIP ] or tName [ bNick ] ) then 
            removeBan ( theBan ) 
        end 
    end 
)

debug it.

something like this

  
function autounban(player,cmd,targetPlayer) 
     tPlayer = getPlayerFromName(targetPlayer) 
     if tPlayer then 
outputChatBox ( "tplayer = true" ) 
          if not getElementData(tPlayer, "auto.unban") then 
outputChatBox ( "auto ban data = false" ) 
               setElementData(tPlayer, "auto.unban", true) 
               outputChatBox("You have given unbanned protection to "..targetPlayer.." !", player) 
          else 
outputChatBox ( "auto ban data = true" ) 
               setElementData(tPlayer, "lift.permission", false) 
               outputChatBox("You have taken unbanned protestion from "..targetPlayer.." !", player) 
          end 
     end 
end

I'm curious though, the element data wipes when you disconnect from the server, so how does this work?

[Jaysds1]

The element data are stored on live elements, so if they are destroyed, meaning if the player leaves the server then the element data get's destroyed.
