[SOLVED]Script Error

[EngMohamedLish]

Here in this script, there's a problem i don't understand:

addCommandHandler ("revive", function(player, cmd, player2) 
    target = getPlayerFromName(player2) 
        if target then 
            if isElementDead(target) then 
                local x, y, z = getElementPosition(target) 
                    spawnPlayer(target, x, y, z) 
                        outputChatBox ("You've Revived"..target, player, 0, 255, 0, false) 
                    outputChatBox (getPlayerFromName(player).."revived you", target, 0, 255, 0, false) 
                else 
            outputChatBox("syntax: /revive player name", player) 
        end 
    end 
end) 

I made this script to revive dead people

i get this error:

Bad Argument @ 'getPlayerFromName [Expected string at argument 1, got nil] 

How it's nil? I don't understand, how can i make it so...

Try this it should work

addCommandHandler ("revive",  
function(player, cmd, player2) 
    local target = getPlayerFromPartialName(player2) 
        if target then 
            if isPedDead(target) then 
                local x, y, z = getElementPosition(target) 
                spawnPlayer(target, x, y, z) 
                outputChatBox ("You've Revived"..target, player, 0, 255, 0, false) 
                outputChatBox (getPlayerName(player).."revived you", target, 0, 255, 0, false) 
            end 
         else 
        outputChatBox("This player does no longer exist!", player) 
    end 
end) 
  
function getPlayerFromPartialName(name) 
    local name = name and name:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() or nil 
    if name then 
        for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            local name_ = getPlayerName(player):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() 
            if name_:find(name, 1, true) then 
                return player 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end

Yup, it works, but there's still a bug, I have setCameraMatrix already made, how can i stop it, when player be revived? I tried "

setCameraTarget(player2, player2) 

but doesn't work.

try to use a timer

setTimer(setCameraTarget,5000,1,player2, player2)

try to use a timer

setTimer(setCameraTarget,5000,1,player2, player2) 

Problem isn't about a timer, it is about a bug:

Bad argument @ 'setCameraTarget' [Expected element at argument , got string 'super' 

That's what i get, when i use the command.

Replace player2 with target. and use my function.
