help me to check conditions

[emuk]

it is possible to check some conditions ?

for example:

function true ()

while abc == true do

outputChatBox( "Is true." )

end

end

addCommandHandler ( "true", true )

function setTrue ()

abc = true

end

addCommandHandler ( "settrue", settrue )

then until abc is true it outputChatBox and when is false it stops automatically (break)

outputChatBox is an example, I do not want is that every second one written in chat

thanks

Yes, of course. But remember to initialize the variable outside the functions first so it'll return something else than errors.

Remember to break the while-loop.

of course it's possible, Like this Example :

visible = false 
  
addCommandHandler ( "show", 
    function ( ) 
        if ( visible == false ) then 
            guiSetVisible ( Window, true ) 
        else 
            guiSetVisible ( Window, false ) 
        end 
    end 
)

thanks but I need something like this:

     
visible = false 
      
    addCommandHandler ( "show", 
        function ( ) 
            if ( visible == false ) then 
                guiSetVisible ( Window, true ) 
            else 
                (here something to stop what happens before) 
            end 
        end 
    ) 
  

basically I need to stop the resource for a player

Do this until that happens otherwise stops.

EDIT

or if it possible to add a setting for client and everyone chooses if start it or not.

Actually, I didn't understand what do you need !

Did you mean like this ?

visible = false 
      
addCommandHandler ( "show", 
    function ( ) 
        if ( visible == false ) then 
            guiSetVisible ( Window, true ) 
            visible = true 
        else 
            guiSetVisible ( Window, false ) 
            visible = false          
        end 
    end 
) 

Or this

addCommandHandler ( "show", 
    function ( ) 
        if ( visible == false ) then 
            guiSetVisible ( Window, true ) 
        else 
            guiSetVisible ( Window, false ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler ( "chgValue", 
    function ( ) 
        if ( visible == false ) then 
            visible = true 
            outputChatBox ( "* Changed To 'True' !!", 0, 255, 0, true ) 
        else 
            visible = false 
            outputChatBox ( "* Changed To 'False' !!", 255, 0, 0, true ) 
        end 
    end 
)

excuse my explanation,

I need to stop the resource for one person and not for the entire server.

I try to explain better:

for example, a resource that is started automatically change hud and a player don't want it so with a command stop this function only for him.

or

I could put an option where each player decides whether or not to automatically start (but I do not know how to do)

however i'll try it in another way

[3NAD]

Hmm.. You can't Stop resource for 1 person !

But you can use some Codes to make the HUD starting with somebody's,

Like This :

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root,  
    function ( ) 
        if ( getPlayerName ( source ) == "emuk" ) then 
            setElementData ( source, "VIP.person", true ) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerChat", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if getElementData ( source, "VIP.person" ) then 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
            local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source ) 
            outputChatBox ( "[VIP] "..getPlayerName ( source ).." : ", root, r, g, b, true ) 
        else 
            cancelEvent ( ) 
            local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source ) 
            outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( source ).." : ", root, r, g, b, true ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

You Can Edit The HUD Script, To make it With ElementData,

If Player has the ElementData, Change his HUD.

Did you understand ?

[emuk]

thanks but I did not understand how to use ElementData, I tried to set something but it's like it does not save

[3NAD]

Put your Code.

[emuk]

thank you for your patience

I think I understand it is one problem getElementData

if i write this it work:

  
local localPlayerName = getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer()) 
  
function vip () 
if (localPlayerName == "emuk") then 
   --and we output it to the chatbox 
   setElementData ( source, "VIP.person", true ) 
   outputChatBox( "work." ) 
   end 
end 
  
  
addCommandHandler ( "setvip", vip ) 

when i add this it say always no:

    function vip2 () 
    if getElementData ( localPlayerName, "VIP.person" ) then 
    outputChatBox( "yes." ) 
    else 
    outputChatBox( "no." ) 
    end 
    end 
     
      addCommandHandler ( "s2", vip2 ) 

edit now i fixed some error

[TAPL]

change this

if getElementData ( localPlayerName, "VIP.person" ) then 

to

if getElementData ( localPlayer, "VIP.person" ) then 

[emuk]
