getPlayerAccount

[Drakath]

local accName = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( p ) ) 

Bad argument @ 'getAccountName' [Expected account at argument 1, got boolean]

attempt to concatenate local 'accName' (a boolean value)

How is it possible that getPlayerAccount returns false and how can I fix it?

[iPrestege]

Maybe because it's a guest account?

[Anubhav]

Lol.

P isn't defined.

I didn't defined it but this should work.

  
local accName = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) ) 
  

[iPrestege]

^ No sense 'thePlayer' is a variable it will not return for the player if the variable wasn't the player.

Lol.

I didn't defined it but this should work.

  
local accName = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) ) 
  

And where did you define 'thePlayer'? thePlayer is not the same as localPlayer in client side... You will ALWAYS need to define the player element ( except when using functions that return source as a player element )

[Drakath]

I did define p.

[WASSIm.]

the player passed to the function is invalid o account guest i think

[iPrestege]

I did define p.

if isGuestAccount ( getPlayerAccount  ( p ) ) then return end 
    local accName = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( p ) ) 

You can try this and please make sure that it's not an guest account.

Now I get:

WARNING: Bad argument @ 'isGuestAccount' [Expected account at argument 1, got boolean]

WARNING: Bad argument @ 'getAccountName' [Expected account at argument 1, got boolean]

ERROR: attempt to concatenate local 'accName' (a boolean value)

[WhoAmI]

Show how u defined 'p'.

[myonlake]

Ugh, no.

local account = ( getPlayerAccount( p ) and not isGuestAccount( getPlayerAccount( p ) ) ) and getPlayerAccount( p ) or false 
local account_name = account and getAccountName( account ) or "Unknown" 

[Drakath]

Thanks, myonlake.

[myonlake]

You are welcome.
