Group Check

[Atton]

I have been trying to make this system work for opening gates and settings groups. I have had some success however I have hit sort of a brick in an attempt to export a check function for gates and so on.

The idea of this script is pretty much to allow a player to join the cop or criminal group then have access to the tools of that group.

Gates,car spawns,warp makers ect.

Below is the code any help will be much appreciated.

function CAP () 
    COP = createTeam ("COPS",0,0,255) 
    CR = createTeam("CRIMINALS",255,0,0) 
end 
CAP() 
  
function JC (thePlayer) 
    setPlayerTeam(thePlayer,CR) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to the criminals team",thePlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("Criminal",JC) 
  
function JP (thePlayer) 
    setPlayerTeam(thePlayer,COP) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to the cops team",thePlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("Cop",JP) 
  
function checkCriminal (thePlayer) 
      
    if (getTeamFromName(thePlayer) == "CRIMINALS") then 
        return true 
    else 
         return false 
    end 
end

getTeamFromName returns a team object (i.e. your COP or CR variables) not a string.

getTeamFromName returns a team object (i.e. your COP or CR variables) not a string.

So how should I go about fixing this.

Try that. ((Not Tested)).

function CAP () 
    COP = createTeam ("COPS",0,0,255) 
    CR = createTeam("CRIMINALS",255,0,0) 
end 
CAP() 
  
function JC (thePlayer) 
    setPlayerTeam(thePlayer,CR) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to the criminals team",thePlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("Criminal",JC) 
  
function JP (thePlayer) 
    setPlayerTeam(thePlayer,COP) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to the cops team",thePlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("Cop",JP) 
  
function checkCriminal (thePlayer) 
team = getTeamFromName("CRIMINALS") 
      
    if getTeamName(team) then 
        return true 
    else 
         return false 
    end 
end

I can't figure out the logic in xScatta's code.

I think he forgot to check that the name of "team" was "CRIMINAL"

  
function CAP () 
    COP = createTeam ("COPS",0,0,255) 
    CR = createTeam("CRIMINALS",255,0,0) 
end 
CAP() 
  
function JC (thePlayer) 
    setPlayerTeam(thePlayer,CR) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to the criminals team",thePlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("Criminal",JC) 
  
function JP (thePlayer) 
    setPlayerTeam(thePlayer,COP) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to the cops team",thePlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("Cop",JP) 
  
function checkCriminal (thePlayer) 
    local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam (thePlayer) 
    if (not playerTeam) then return false end 
     
    if (getTeamName(playerTeam) == "CRIMINALS") then 
        return true 
    else 
        return false 
    end 
end 

Alternatively you could compare "playerTeam" with your variable "CR" instead.
