Can you help me with this:

  
function givePermission (thePlayer, command, target ) 
     local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( target ) 
      if ( playeraccount ) and not isGuestAccount ( playeraccount ) then 
    local viplevel = 1 
    setAccountData(playeraccount, "viplevel", viplevel ) 
    outputChatBox("[VIP-Management] VIP annettu pelaajalle "..getPlayerName(target).." onnistuneesti.", thePlayer, 0,255,0) 
    else  
    outputChatBox("[VIP-Management] Error.", thePlayer, 255,0,0) 
    end 
    end 
addCommandHandler("viplevel-1", givePermission )

Try this:

function givePermission ( thePlayer, command, target ) 
    if ( target ) and ( getPlayerFromName ( target ) ) then 
        target = getPlayerFromName ( target ) 
    end 
    local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( target ) 
    if ( not isGuestAccount ( playeraccount ) ) then 
        local viplevel = "1" 
        setAccountData ( playeraccount, "viplevel", viplevel ) 
        outputChatBox("[VIP-Management] VIP annettu pelaajalle " .. getPlayerName ( target ) .. " onnistuneesti.", thePlayer, 0, 255, 0) 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "[VIP-Management] Error.", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0 ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "viplevel-1", givePermission ) 

edit:

Glad to hear that.

(P.S. you can take the above code anytime you want)
