And If i put the otuputchatbox with getRootElement is for all players?

getRootElement 

[tosfera]

If you want to output it for every player, just dont give a source in the outputChatBox;

outputChatBox("*"..  .. " joined the server, welcome!"); 

[GamerDeMTA]

outputChatBox("* " ..thePlayer.. " Message",getRootElement(),255,0,0,true) 

And what's wrong with this code?

[tosfera]

Did you define the variable; thePlayer in the function? + you can use getRootElement() but its not completely used. You are using thePlayer as a name, so you can also change the getRootElement() to thePlayer or even to source. Cause the source of the event onPlayerJoin/onPlayerLogin = the player element.

This is the full code:

[lua]

function (thePlayer)

local xdd = getPlayerName(thePlayer)

outputChatBox("* " ..xdd.. " MESSAGE",getRootElement(),255,0,0,true)

end

addCommandHandler("OPEN",)

[tosfera]

function (thePlayer)

local xdd = getPlayerName(thePlayer)

outputChatBox("* " ..xdd.. " MESSAGE",getRootElement(),255,0,0,true)

end

addCommandHandler("OPEN",)

 

Keep it simple;

 

  
addCommandHandler("open", 
function(source) 
    local playerName = getPlayerName(source); 
    outputChatBox("* ".. playerName .." MESSAGE", source); 
end);
