If you want to give item's to play you could either use a database ( mysql or sqlite ) or you can use the setAccountData / getAccountData. The elementData will be deleted whenever a player reconnects. Try this;

addCommandHandler ( "giveItem",  
    function ( thePlayer, theCommand, happyPlayer, itemId ) 
        if ( thePlayer == ") then -- just for safety 
            local account = getPlayerAccount ( happyPlayer ); 
            if ( account ) then -- if he is logged in 
                setAccountData ( account, "item1", itemId ); 
            else 
                outputChatBox ( "This player is not logged in.", thePlayer ); 
            end 
        end 
    end 
); 

note that this will only allow you to give 1 item each person. You'll have to create a table value or loop through all his data to find out if you can give a new item or add new values to it etc.

Ok your script i am using the dayz so i was only looking for the setElementData(getPlayerFromName("Jordan"),"Object",1) as they have to keep it when they login and stuff and reconnect so is that possible?

[tosfera]

Ehmm well you can just change the "item1" to "object" and "itemId" to 1. That would fix it.

addCommandHandler ( "giveItem", 
    function ( thePlayer, theCommand, happyPlayer, 1 ) 
        if ( thePlayer == "Jordan" ) then -- just for safety 
            local account = getPlayerAccount ( happyPlayer ); 
            if ( account ) then -- if he is logged in 
                setAccountData ( account, "object", 1 ); 
            else 
                outputChatBox ( "This player is not logged in.", thePlayer ); 
            end 
        end 
    end 
);

function ( thePlayer, theCommand, happyPlayer, 1 ) 

to

function ( thePlayer, theCommand, happyPlayer ) 

[mint3d]

Didn't work like i wanted it to

i want to do somthing like /giveitem Jordan Engine which would make this setElementData(getPlayerFromName("Name"),"Object",1) look like this setElementData(getPlayerFromName("Jordan"),"Engine",1)

and it would give him the object

[tosfera]

addCommandHandler ( "giveItem",  
    function ( thePlayer, theCommand, happyPlayer, item ) 
        if ( thePlayer == "Jordan" ) then -- just for safety 
            local account = getPlayerAccount ( happyPlayer ); 
            if ( account ) then -- if he is logged in 
                setAccountData ( account, tostring ( item ), 1 ); 
            else 
                outputChatBox ( "This player is not logged in. Their items will be lost when he or she reconnects", thePlayer ); 
            end 
            setElementData ( happyPlayer, tostring ( item ), 1 ); 
        end 
    end 
); 

usage; /giveItem Jordan Engine

I dont want it to go away tho i want it to stay and that doesnt work at all

[tosfera]

setAccountData adds the item to the account of the player. As long as the player is logged in and you're using the command, it will stay. IF he ins't logged in, it will dissapear. So just make sure your players are logged in.

To add the data back when they login;

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerLogin", root, 
    function ( thePlayer ) 
        local account = getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ); 
        local engine = getAccountData ( account, "Engine" ); 
        if ( engine ) then 
            setElementData ( thePlayer, "Engine", 1 ); 
        end 
    end 
);
