Variable for all

[DjMixCuma]

Hello!

how to create Variable for all players?

please any example, thanks )

i want create this

if variable == 1 then 
--they can't 
else 
--they can 
end

local welcomeText = "Hello World!" 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root,  
    function ( ) 
        outputChatBox ( welcomeText, source ) 
    end 
) 

That'll output the 'welcomeText' content to all players who join the server.

solidsnake i want set this for example:

local can = {} 
  
if can[source].command == true then 
-- all players can use this command 
else 
-- no all players can use this command 
  

so how to set can[source].command (for example) for all players??

[Castillo]

That's a table, not a variable.

And you can remove all that [ source ] and leave it like this:

local can = { }

if can.command == true then 
-- all players can use this command 
else 
-- no all players can use this command 
end

okey working but how to on start resource give permission to start command?

my code:

local can = {} 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), function() 
    can.Command = true 
end 
  
function start() 
    if can.Command == true then 
        setTimer(stop, 5000, 1) 
        can.Command = false 
outputChatBox("Can!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Can't!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  
function stop() 
    can.Command = true 
outputChatBox("Now Can Again!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("test", start)

I don't understand.

When i spawn i want to use /test, but i cant because table is false default in this construction of code:

local can = {} 
  
function start() 
    if can.Command == true then 
        setTimer(stop, 5000, 1) 
        can.Command = false 
outputChatBox("Can!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Can't!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  
function stop() 
    can.Command = true 
outputChatBox("Now Can Again!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("test", start) 

but when i using this:

local can = {} 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), function() 
    can.Command = true 
end 
  
function start() 
    if can.Command == true then 
        setTimer(stop, 5000, 1) 
        can.Command = false 
outputChatBox("Can!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Can't!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  
function stop() 
    can.Command = true 
outputChatBox("Now Can Again!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("test", start) 

command not working, but when i use this:

local can = {} 
 function start() 
can.Command = true 
    if can.Command == true then 
        setTimer(stop, 5000, 1) 
        can.Command = false 
outputChatBox("Can!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Can't!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end 
end 
  
function stop() 
    can.Command = true 
outputChatBox("Now Can Again!", 255, 255, 255, true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("test", start) 

i can use command infinitely

Wiki quote:

Note: You cannot use "list" or "test" as command name.

local can = { } 
  
function start ( player ) 
    if ( can.Command == true ) then 
        setTimer ( stop, 5000, 1 ) 
        can.Command = false 
        outputChatBox ( "Can!", player, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Can't!", player, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "test2", start ) 
  
function stop ( ) 
    can.Command = true 
    outputChatBox ( "Now Can Again!", root, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
end

okey, but i must set can.Command == true for all, when resource starting, because i can't use this command, because can.Command is set to false.

[Castillo]

local can = 
    { 
        command = true 
    } 
  
function start ( player ) 
    if ( can.Command == true ) then 
        setTimer ( stop, 5000, 1 ) 
        can.Command = false 
        outputChatBox ( "Can!", player, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "Can't!", player, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "test2", start ) 
  
function stop ( ) 
    can.Command = true 
    outputChatBox ( "Now Can Again!", root, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
end
