[HELP] String to Element

[steadyfi]

Hello all.

I've got a little problem with a script. Im trying to make a command to set a player as Premium.

I'm using setAccountData but when I try it tells me that it expected ELEMENT but it got a STRING

Is there any way i can get a Element and not a string ?

Code (Server-Side):

--[[ 
## Set Premium 
]]-- 
function setPremium(playerSource, cmd, target, kit) 
    if target and kit then 
        local targetAccount = getPlayerAccount(target) 
        if targetAccount and not isGuestAccount(targetAccount) then 
            setAccountData(targetAccount, "premium_kit", kit) 
            outputChatBox("Player "..target.." has been added as Premium with kit: "..kit.." !", playerSource) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Player not found or error accrued" ,playerSource, 255, 0, 0) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("premium", setPremium) 

Error:

WARNING: basics\modules\utils_server.lua:84: Bad argument @ 'getPlayerAccount' [Expected element at argument 1, got string 'Steady'] 

Thanks

addCommandHandler parameters :-

arg1, arg2, ...: Each word after command name in the original command is passed here in a seperate variable. If there is no value for an argument, its variable will contain nil. You can deal with a variable number of arguments using the vararg expression, as shown in Server Example 2 below. 

so target is a string that contain "nil" , defined it as a player i guess ?

Yes, the variable target is the player element. But it doesn't return nil, it is returning as a string and I need a element
