Requesting help.

Hallo playas

today i suggested to make a an admin panel , just to test my skills, but i'm stuck on something , i searched over the wiki , but nothing.

the script is an admin panel ; gridlist on the left gets the online players , and search field intop of it.

when you select the column of the player name , you can make the actions (there is buttons for actions on the gui), problem is ,

guiGridListGetItemText is client sided only , and i want the server side to do the actions to the player , here is the gui :

  
GUIEditor = { 
    edit = {}, 
    button = {}, 
    window = {}, 
    label = {}, 
    gridlist = {} 
} 
        GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(458, 120, 370, 459, "Helpers Panel", false) 
        guiWindowSetSizable(GUIEditor.window[1], false) 
  
        GUIEditor.edit[1] = guiCreateEdit(20, 84, 102, 23, "", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        GUIEditor.gridlist[1] = guiCreateGridList(10, 112, 128, 329, false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        GUIEditor.label[1] = guiCreateLabel(20, 55, 152, 24, "Players Search", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.label[1], "default-bold-small") 
        guiLabelSetColor(GUIEditor.label[1], 51, 115, 203) 
        GUIEditor.button[1] = guiCreateButton(266, 190, 94, 47, "Mute Player", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[1], "default-bold-small") 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.button[1], "NormalTextColour", "FF3373CB") 
        GUIEditor.button[2] = guiCreateButton(265, 254, 95, 47, "Unmute Player", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[2], "default-bold-small") 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.button[2], "NormalTextColour", "FF3373CB") 
        GUIEditor.label[2] = guiCreateLabel(148, 24, 218, 103, "NOTE: While punishing players , it\n would be recommended to\n include screen shots to proof in\n case the helper got complainted\n to a Staff.", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        GUIEditor.button[3] = guiCreateButton(267, 326, 93, 47, "Kick Player", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[3], "default-bold-small") 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.button[3], "NormalTextColour", "FF3373CB") 
        GUIEditor.button[4] = guiCreateButton(267, 394, 93, 47, "Freeze", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[4], "default-bold-small") 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.button[4], "NormalTextColour", "FF3373CB") 
        GUIEditor.button[5] = guiCreateButton(148, 394, 93, 47, "Unfreeze", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[5], "default-bold-small") 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.button[5], "NormalTextColour", "FF3373CB") 
        GUIEditor.button[6] = guiCreateButton(148, 326, 93, 47, "Warp", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[6], "default-bold-small") 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.button[6], "NormalTextColour", "FF3373CB") 
        GUIEditor.button[7] = guiCreateButton(146, 254, 95, 47, "Kill Player", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[7], "default-bold-small") 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.button[7], "NormalTextColour", "FF3373CB")     
         
function showGui ( thePlayer) 
if not guiGetVisible(GUIEditor.window[1]) then 
        guiSetVisible(GUIEditor.window[1], true) 
        showCursor(true) 
    else 
        guiSetVisible(GUIEditor.window[1], false) 
        showCursor(false) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ("panil", showGui) 
  
local playerList = guiCreateGridList(10, 112, 128, 329, false, GUIEditor.window[1]) -- Create the grid list 
local column = guiGridListAddColumn( playerList, "Player", 0.85 ) -- Create a 'players' column in the list 
if ( column ) then -- If the column was successfully created 
    for id, playeritem in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do  
    local row = guiGridListAddRow ( playerList ) 
    guiGridListSetItemText ( playerList, row, column, getPlayerName ( playeritem ), false, false ) 
    end 
end 
  
function mutePlayer ( thePlayer) 
local playerName = guiGridListGetItemText ( playerList, guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( playerList ), 1 ) 
triggerServerEevent ("onMutePlaya", root) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[1] , mutePlayer) 
  
  

Also, server side "setPlayerMuted" it does mute the player for infinite , and i want it to be 10 minutes.

Cheers , hope you guys answer me

up up up up

Send the player name on the triggerServerEvent function.

[Prat]

exactly , how to send it to the remote trigger?

[Castillo]

triggerServerEvent ( "onMutePlaya", localPlayer, playerName ) 

Like that, and you can send anything you want.

[Prat]

would you add it please? :3

here is the server side :-

addEvent ("onMutePlaya") 
addEventHandler ("onMutePlaya", root,  
function () 
setPlayerMuted (playerName, true) 
end 
) 

Also i wannna change "setPlayerMuted" to 10 minutes instead of infinite.

Appreciate that man

EDIT: localPlayer is the muter or the muted guy ?

[Castillo]

You must add the playerName to the function name, like this:

function ( playerName ) 

also, playerName is just a string, not the actual player element, so you must obtain the element using getPlayerFromName.

localPlayer is the muter.

[Prat]

i hate the "getPlayerBlablabla" thingy dingy obama tingy,

so please add it for me , i'm so confused now

[Castillo]

addEvent ( "onMutePlaya", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "onMutePlaya", root, 
    function ( playerName ) 
        setPlayerMuted ( getPlayerFromName ( playerName ), true ) 
    end 
) 

[Prat]

i'v used this but it ouput a bad arg line in debug msg

addEvent ("onMuteNab", true)

addEventHandler ("onMuteNab", root,

function ()

victim = getPlayerFromName(playerName)

setPlayerMuted (victim, true)

outputChatBox ("You have been Muted", victim)

end

)

[Prat]

now it works successfuly , the setPlayerMuted is infinite , i want to time it to 10 seconds.

and thanks castillo <3

[Castillo]

To unmute him after 10 seconds, you must use setTimer.

[Prat]

appreciate that man , thanks.

[Castillo]

You're welcome.
