unbindKey & bindKey problem

[novo]

Hello.

I'm trying to unbind the key "L" but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using server-sided script

I'm using the following code; (Not working)

  
unbindKey(thePlayer, "l") 
bindKey(thePlayer, "l", "both", "chatbox Ad") 
  

I've tried also with using:

  
        if(executeCommandHandler ( "unbind", thePlayer, "l" )) then 
        else 
        outputDebugString("COULDN'T unBIND") 
        end 
        if(executeCommandHandler ( "bind", thePlayer, "l chatbox Ad" )) then 
        else 
        outputDebugString("COULDN'T BIND") 
        end 
  

But it's outputing COULDN'T messages.

unbindKey(thePlayer, "l") 
bindKey(thePlayer, "l", "both", chatbox Ad) 

bindKey(thePlayer, "l", "both", chatbox Ad)

Error - chatbox Ad

Can you put the script or tell me the function name?

function joinLang(thePlayer,commandName,lang) 
local languageNames = {} 
for i = 1, #languageNames do 
    if ( lang == languageNames[ i ] ) then 
        bindKey ( thePlayer, "l", "up", "chatbox "..lang ) 
        addCommandHandler(lang, chatMSG) 
        setElementData(thePlayer, "lang", lang) 
    end 
end 
end 
addCommandHandler("join", joinLang)

bindKey ( thePlayer, "l", "up", joinLang )

I don't wanna do that, I've made another function called chatMSG, that's why there's addCommandHandler(lang, chatMSG)

unbindKey(thePlayer, "l") 
bindKey(thePlayer, "l", "both", chatbox Ad) 

bindKey(thePlayer, "l", "both", chatbox Ad)

Error - chatbox Ad

space is not allowed in commands' and funtions' names

Still not working.

I want to use executeCommandHandler because with using bindKey when you press "L", it doesn't show "Language:".

Any ideas?

[csiguusz]

I dont really know what you want to do, so its hard to help.

Bindkey should work also, maybe there are some other mistakes. If you would post the whole script it would be easier because the code that you wrote here before doesn't makes much sense to me.

I just want to do that when you press L it shows you English: and then you can type, like T (added by MTA)

The following code is outputing CANT BIND

  
    if not executeCommandHandler("bind l chatbox English", thePlayer, "") then 
    outputChatBox("CANT BIND") 
    end

What you can do instead is create just one bind, for "Language" chat, and then it checks the player language and sends it to only these with the same language.

I only need to know how to make a bind for L that when you press L it shows you Language: and then you can type..

Only that

[csiguusz]

Your code is not correct, there should be just one word, the name of the command at argument one, and the additional parameters at the end of the function, like this:

executeCommandHandler("bind", thePlayer, "l chatbox English") 

And I think you cant use executeCommandHandler on commands like say, bind, quit (etc.) and commands from other resources, only on commands that you added with addCommandHandler in the same resource.

[Castillo]

Try this:

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, 
    function ( ) 
        bindKey ( source, "l", "down", "chatbox", "Language" ) 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        for _, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            bindKey ( player, "l", "down", "chatbox", "Language" ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler ( "Language", 
    function ( thePlayer, _, ... ) 
        local playerLanguage = getElementData ( thePlayer, "lang" ) 
        for _, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            if ( getElementData ( player, "lang" ) == playerLanguage ) then 
                outputChatBox ( playerLanguage ..": ".. getPlayerName ( thePlayer ) ..": ".. table.concat ( { ... }, " " ), player, 255, 255, 255 ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
)

It's working Solid ^

Thank you !
