How To Save Teams?

[vXHazE]

Hi my question is how can you save your teams because when when I make a team and restart the server and join the teams disappear I looked at some scripts but I don't know how they work can anyone help me? :D :D

[Castillo]

You could make a script to create the teams, instead of using the admin panel.

[vXHazE]

Could you recommend a good script maybe?

[Castillo]

Creating teams is a easy thing:

createTeam ( "My Team", 255, 0, 0 ) 

That creates a team with the name "My Team" and red color.

Alright. Go to server > mods > deathmatch > resources. In there, create a new folder called 'teams'. Go into that folder and create a file called script.lua. Paste this code into it, then save it:

createTeam("Team name", 200, 50, 0) --Those are the RGB colours. 

Create another file called meta.xml. Paste this into it, then save it (in the same folder):

<meta> 
<script src="script.lua" type="server"/> 
</meta> 

Now, when you start your server, you should have a resource called 'teams'. Write /start teams into the chatbox, and watch your resource start.

[Toffbrown]

function team () 
createTeam ( "nameofteamyouwanthere", 255, 0, 0 ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, team) 

its a pretty easy script banged it together in a minute

Just add it to the default startup

nokizorque cheers for replying but ive tried everything and for some reasons this doesn't work

[Toffbrown]

what exactly did you try?,

did you try mine and also post your code

[Noki]

Make sure the resource is on your start list, as ToffBrown said.

i made a folder called teams then I made the the notepad called script.lua and put in what you told me to i changed the color and the name of the team then i made a notepad called meta.xml and copied and pasted the stuff you told me to than I went to mtaserver and at the bottom I added it to the start up thing and it doesn't work for some reason also toffbrown i'am not sure how to make the script you sent me sorry for my noobizm

Here i uploaded it and don't fret we are always learning,

now

function team () ----- this is the start of your function 
createTeam ( "vXHazE", 255, 0, 0 )--- this is the function that happends the " " is the team name in tab and 255, 0, 0 is the RGB color coding so RGB = Red,Green,Blue and you said red so the colour will be 255 
end------ this ends the function 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, team)---- this is what causes the function do execute the functions basically so onResourceStart runs the function when this resource starts 

EDIT idk why but my Lua isnt working on here

First, make a folder and name it whatever you want then do the following

1.)create a text file in the folder, open it, save as a .lua file in the folder you created.Name your lua file when saving, exmaple team.lua but i'd suggest server.lua

2.)create a text file, save it as meta.xml. Make sure it's meta.xml.

3.)Then open your .lua file and enter the following -

function aTeam () 
 Admin = createTeam ( "Admins", 255,255,255 ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, aTeam) 
  

Change the "Admins" to any Team name that you want and change the 255,255,255 to change the team color.

4.)enter your .xml and type in the following

  
<meta> 
     <info author="YourName" type="script" description="Your description" /> 
     <script src="server.lua" /> 
</meta> 

5.)Make sure you saved' both files

6.)Copy the folder you created for the script and paste it here -->mods/deathmatch/resources/gameplay

and paste it there.

7.)Turn on your server and enable the script.

I'm a new scripter as well, just trying to help, it's how i do scripts, steps might be long but it should work hopefully, good luck!.

[Toffbrown]

With your script you don't need Admin = createTeam and also 255, 255, 255 is white he wanted red

Please follow or use what i posted because what i wrote was correct, also add open up your mtaserver.conf

and go all the way down to the bottom and paste

or change it to what folder you used for the script

Cheers a lot the teams save but the people that are on the team don't save? Cheers a lot ToffBrown and nokizorque btw :D :D :D :D :D

[vXHazE]

cheers for a lot of help guys the teams save but the people on the team don't save? BTW cheers once again

[Toffbrown]

what do you mean don't save? like when the server restarts or when the play exits the server and reconnect they aren't in it anymore?

[Vinctus]

If you are going to have multiple teams, easiest way would probably be:

local teams = { 
    -- "team", r, g, b 
    {"Red Team",255,0,0}, 
    {"Blue Team",0,0,255}, 
} 
  
function team () 
    for i,v in ipairs(teams) do 
        createTeam (v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4] ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, team) 

[Toffbrown]

Ahh nice way of doing Vinctus

but that does confuse alot of new beginners

[vXHazE]

toffBrown I can add people to the teams and the teams save but when someone leaves and joins they aren't in the team anymore?

[Toffbrown]

Add this to the original Script

function savTeam() 
local account = getPlayerAccount(source) 
local team = getAccountData (account, "team")  
if (team) and getTeamFromName(team) then 
      setPlayerTeam(source, getTeamFromName( team )) 
     end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",root,savTeam) 
  
function update() 
 local team = getPlayerTeam(source) 
local account = getPlayerAccount(source) 
if (team) and not isGuestAccount(account) then 
setAccountData(account, "team", getTeamName( team )) 
 end 
    end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", getRootElement(), update)
