not outputing account data "xp"

[John Smith]

i am starting to create somekind of xp system,just out of boredom but i got a simple problem.

function xpSystem() 
local playerAccount = getPlayerAccount(source) 
local xp = getAccountData(playerAccount,"xp") 
  if isGuestAccount(playerAccount,source,true) then 
  return 
  else 
      if isGuestAccount(playerAccount,source,false) then 
         if (playerAccount) then 
            if xp ~= nil then 
               setAccountData(playerAccount,"xp",0) 
               outputChatBox(xp, getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0) 
            end 
         end 
      end 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(),xpSystem) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",getRootElement(),xpSystem) 

it doesn't output anything.

no errors.

maybe i haven't set account data in good way.

can anyone help me please?

Your code does not make any sense, you are trying to set 'xp' when but you are setting it to 0. Please explain what you want!

lol,

if xp ~= nil then 

im checking if theres data in the account,and that data is "xp"

and then if there's no data in account,im setting it to number zero(0 xp aka 0 experience)

setAccountData(playerAccount,"xp",0) 

because if theres no account data considering "xp" it means its a new player, who (logic)-didnt make any kills so he got 0xp.

Now in the script there isnt anything about killing but i will add it later,but i just want to test this out by adding 0 xp to people

i hope u understand my english

empty account data is false, not nil. It's better to check this way:

if not xp then

May I ask, how can you login manually before you join?.........

isGuestAccount(playerAccount,source,false) 

if isGuestAccount(playerAccount) then 

if not isGuestAccount(playerAccount) then

function xpSystem(_, playerAccount) 
local xp = getAccountData(playerAccount,"xp") 
    if (playerAccount) then 
        if xp then 
            outputChatBox(xp, getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0)

            setAccountData(playerAccount,"xp",0)

end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",getRootElement(),xpSystem)

by the way,i just wanted to ask one more question.

how could i give xp to people when they send a message on chatbox?

function giveXP(_,playerAccount) 
   if (playerAccount) then 
      if xp then 
         setAccountData(playerAccount,"xp"+133) 
         outputChatBox(xp, getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0) 
      end 
   end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",getRootElement(),giveXP) 

sorry if i ask for too much,i just want to know better how setAccountData works

[IIYAMA]

setAccountData(playerAccount,"xp",(getAccountData(playerAccount,"xp") or 0)+133) 

[John Smith]

not working

[IIYAMA]

NNNNOOO WORKING.... OMG! I AM SO SEXY.

addEventHandler("onPlayerChat",root, 
function(message,messageType) 
    local playerAccount = getPlayerAccount ( source ) 
    if not isGuestAccount ( playerAccount) then 
        setAccountData(playerAccount,"xp",(getAccountData(playerAccount,"xp") or 0)+133) 
    end 
end)
