Command handler - Very new to LUA

[Riddy]

function GivePlayerItem(player, item, amount) 
    local playerID = GetPlayerFromName(player) 
    if(playerID == true) then 
    setElementData(playerID,item,amount) 
    else  
    outputChatbox("The name is invalid", player); 
    end 
end  
  
addCommandHandler ( "createvehicle", GivePlayerItem ) 

Whats wrong? It gives me that, global thing mejic

It says

Attempt to call global 'addCommandHandler' (a nil value)

Your code didn't make any sense.

  
function givePlayerItem(player, cmd, target, item, amount) 
  
    local targetid = getPlayerFromName(target) or outputChatBox("Player not found", player) 
    setElementData(targetid, "item." .. item, amount) 
     
end  
  
addCommandHandler ("giveitem", givePlayerItem)

1. Lua is case-sensitive.

2. The command is named "createvehicle", but the code has completely nothing to do with vehicle creation.

3. Second parameter of the function handler when adding a command is the command name, not "item".

@Razor., your code does not make sense.

@Riddy, check my reply above.

Do you want that the command create a vehicle to a target?
