[HELP] Set Team on Login and outputChatBox

[steadyfi]

Hi , i've got a little problem with my set teams script.

I use this script to set the team for admins to Admins when they join.

I try to use outputChatBox to say hello when a admin joins but I get a error.

Script: (server side)

 --Create teams on resource start 
function createTeams(source, teamName) 
    staff = createTeam("Admins", 128, 0, 0) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), createTeams) 
  
--Set admins from ACL to Admin team after logging in 
function setAdminTeam(thePlayer) 
    local name = getPlayerName(thePlayer) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)), aclGetGroup("Admin")) then --check if admin 
        setPlayerTeam(source, staff) --set team 
        outputChatBox("Greetings "..name.." ! Welcome back.", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0) --greetings 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), setAdminTeam) 

Error:

[2014-11-10 22:39:46] WARNING: [race]\[mods]\gc_players\teams.lua:9: Bad argument @ 'getPlayerName' [Expected element at argument 1] 
[2014-11-10 22:39:46] ERROR: [race]\[mods]\gc_players\teams.lua:12: attempt to concatenate local 'name' (a boolean value) 

Thanks.

I think I got it. It means I gotta use the getPlayerName(source) inside the outputChatBox and not use it as a local variable, right ?

Edit: It worked , thanks ! But how do I make it work with color codes ?

I mean how do I make it work with name color codes. If a player has a color code show it, but I think it isn't possible. Anyway, I got my answer and I replaced ..name.. with ..getPlayerName(source)...

This is the code if anyone needs it:

--Create teams on resource start 
function createTeams(source, teamName) --function 
    staff = createTeam("Admin", 128, 0, 0) --create team 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), createTeams) --Event triggers createTeams function when the Resource Starts and creates the team 
  
--Set admins from ACL to Admin team after logging in 
function setAdminTeam(thePlayer) --function 
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)), aclGetGroup("Admin")) then --check if admin 
        setPlayerTeam(source, staff) --set team 
        outputChatBox("Greetings "..getPlayerName(source).." !", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0) --greetings (will show player name with color code ex: #000000Test , I can't make it handle color codes) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), setAdminTeam) --event handler so when a player joins ACL gives him Admin rights if account is added in admin group and triggers function

--Create teams on resource start 
function createTeams( ) --function 
    staff = createTeam("Admin", 128, 0, 0) --create team 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), createTeams) 
  
--Set admins from ACL to Admin team after logging in 
function setAdminTeam(_, account) --function 
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..getAccountName(account), aclGetGroup("Admin")) then --check if admin 
        setPlayerTeam(source, staff) --set team 
        outputChatBox("Greetings "..getPlayerName(source).." !", root, 0, 255, 0, true) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), setAdminTeam)

After a 2 min research on the wiki on the topic outputChatBox I found how to make the name color coded.

I was a idiot , sorry.

--Create teams on resource start 
function createTeams(source, teamName) 
    staff = createTeam("Admins", 102, 0, 0) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), createTeams) 
  
--Set Admin team 
function setAdminTeam(thePlayer) 
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)), aclGetGroup("Admin")) then 
        setPlayerTeam(source, staff) 
        local r,g,b = getPlayerNametagColor ( source ) --get the player's nametag colour 
        local name = getPlayerName ( source ) --get his name 
        outputChatBox("#00FF00Greetings: "..name, getRootElement(), r, g, b, true) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), setAdminTeam)

You send it color coded but getPlayerName does not include color codes from the players name. Sorry if I didn't explain myself right.
