bad argument hasObjectPermissionTo??

[toxicsmoke11]

So,i've started doing one system,something like a ban system but not exactly "ban" system,more like keep-away system

anyway, i am getting 2 errors,and i do not understand what have i done wrongly.

here's my code

function dimensionSystem(commandName,thePlayer,theTarget) 
   if hasObjectPermissionTo(theTarget, "function.banPlayer",true) then 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "ammo", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "area_name", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "armour", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "breath", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "clock", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "health", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "money", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "vehicle_name", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "weapon", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "radar", false ) 
      showChat( theTarget, false ) 
      else 
      kickPlayer(thePlayer,"Don't abuse the Admin system!") 
   end 
end 
addCommandHandler("pban",dimensionSystem) 

i get these two errors:

[22:12:39] WARNING: ban-system\script.lua:2: Bad argument @ 'hasObjectPermissionTo'

[22:12:39] WARNING: ban-system\script.lua:15: Bad argument @ 'kickPlayer'

I've readed both hasObjectPermissionTo and kickPlayer function pages,and i don't see what am i doing wrong as my syntax is correct as far as i see.

Please help me. I'm new to this.

the problem is the value of theTarget, show us how you defined that variable.

I Don't understand the meaning of word 'define' so i don't know what to answer,i was just looking at some other script examples and looked into function thing and there was theTarget,and the only place where it was mentioned was in function *name*(*here*)

and it worked fine,so i guess that i forgot to define it or something because it's clearly not working. Sorry for my english and my bad lua skills and my not clear understanding of word 'define'

function dimensionSystem(thePlayer,commandName,theTarget) 
   if hasObjectPermissionTo(theTarget, "function.banPlayer",true) then 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "ammo", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "area_name", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "armour", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "breath", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "clock", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "health", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "money", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "vehicle_name", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "weapon", false ) 
      showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "radar", false ) 
      showChat( theTarget, false ) 
      else 
      kickPlayer(thePlayer,"Don't abuse the Admin system!") 
   end 
end 
addCommandHandler("pban",dimensionSystem) 

You messed up with the commandName and thePlayer I guess, have a look.

[toxicsmoke11]

tried your code,and it kicks me no matter if im admin or not

edit:just noticed,in your code you changed thePlayer with theTarget(2nd line),so it messes it up totally i guess.

thePlayer is suppost to be a person who uses command

theTarget is like this /pban *name*

*name* is theTarget

You want that only players with access to "function.banPlayer" are able to use the command? or you want so that anybody can use the command, but they can't use it against admins?

If it's the second, then use this:

function dimensionSystem ( thePlayer, commandName, theTarget ) 
    local theTarget = getPlayerFromName ( theTarget ) 
    if ( theTarget ) then 
        if hasObjectPermissionTo ( theTarget, "function.banPlayer", true ) then 
            kickPlayer ( thePlayer, "Don't abuse the Admin system!" ) 
        else 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "ammo", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "area_name", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "armour", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "breath", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "clock", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "health", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "money", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "vehicle_name", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "weapon", false ) 
            showPlayerHudComponent ( theTarget, "radar", false ) 
            showChat ( theTarget, false ) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox ( "The player was not found!", thePlayer, 255, 0, 0 ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "pban", dimensionSystem )

end 
addCommandHandler ( "pban", dimensionSystem ) 

Why would i let everybody to use this command?it can be used for trolling other people.

i just want to make it like what u first said,

only people with "function.banPlayer" can use pban command,if they dont have that function it kicks them out with that message "dont abuse admin system".

but i've tried switching theTarget with thePlayer in few lines and it works

anyway,

thank you Solidsnake for helping me with this script
