Server error codes

[wesleywillems17]

Hello everybody,

I'm making a server but sometimes i get a error from the debugscript.

For example:

WARNING: [gameplay]\(SARS)Mechanic\server.lua:63: Bad argument @ 'getTeamName' [Expected team at argument 1, got boolean]

or

WARNING: [gameplay]\(SARS)Police\JobVehicle\s_vehicles.lua:3: Bad argument @ 'getPlayerTeam' [Expected player at argument 1, got nil]

What does the [Expected team at argument 1, got boolean] and [Expected player at argument 1, got nil] mean?

I don't understand it but i want to understand it

Is there a list with the information what does error means?

Sorry for bad English

Hope somebody could help me

It means that your resource is not working correctly and gives you an error. It seems, the Mechanic and Police are trying to get your team name but you don't have same named teams in your server.

What? The team name is the same name in server.lua.

Server:

  
Teame1= createTeam("Mechanic",0,255,160) 
  
miqTeams = { [Teame1] = true } 
miqVehs = { [525] = true } 
  
local vehicleTable = {} 
function teamSet ( ) 
    local team = getTeamFromName ( "Mechanic" ) 
    if team then 
        local TT = vehicleTable[source] -- load 
        if TT then -- check 
            if isElement( TT ) then 
                destroyElement( TT ) 
            end 
            vehicleTable[source]= nil -- clean 
        end 
        setPlayerTeam ( source, team ) 
        setPlayerNametagColor ( source, 0, 255, 0 ) 
        setElementModel(source, 50) 
            TT = createVehicle(525,1063.32, -1030.27, 32.29, 0, 0, 180) 
            warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, TT ) 
            vehicleTable[source]= TT 
            outputChatBox("You are now employed as a Mechanic!", thePlayer) 
        else 
            local teamw = getTeamFromName ( "Mechanic" ) 
            if teamw then 
            cancelEvent() 
            outputChatBox("You are already a Mechanic!", source) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEvent ( "sTeame5", true) 
addEventHandler ( "sTeame5", root, teamSet ) 
  
function enterVehicle ( thePlayer, seat, jacked ) -- when a player enters a vehicle 
    if getElementType ( thePlayer ) == "player" then 
    if ( miqVehs[getElementModel ( source )] ) and ( not miqTeams[getPlayerTeam( thePlayer )] ) then -- if the vehicle is one of 4 police cars, and the skin is not a police skin 
            removePedFromVehicle( thePlayer )-- force the player out of the vehicle 
            outputChatBox("Only Mechanics can drive this vehicle!", thePlayer) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), enterVehicle ) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit",root, 
function () 
    local TT = vehicleTable[source] 
    if TT then 
        if isElement( TT ) then 
            destroyElement( TT ) 
        end 
        vehicleTable[source]= nil 
    end 
end) 
  
local allowedTeams = {  
["Mechanics"] = true, 
["Mechanic"] = true, 
} 
  
function fix () 
car = getPedOccupiedVehicle(source) 
if allowedTeams[getTeamName(getPlayerTeam(source))] and getElementHealth(car) < 999 then 
price = 1001 - getElementHealth(car)  
givePlayerMoney(source, price*2) 
fixVehicle(car) 
outputChatBox("You have repair Brooken Stuff of this car", source, 0, 255, 0) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerVehicleEnter", getRootElement(), fix)

That's 'cause the player doesn't have a team.

To fix this just add this before every getTeamName() check:

local team = getPlayerTeam(player); --Return a Team or nil if the player doesn't have a team; 
if team then --If the team ~= nil; 
    teamName = getTeamName(team); -- Get team name; 
end 

You most likely did it like this:

local team = getPlayerTeam(player); --This was returning nil; 
local teamName = getTeamName(team); --And then you tried to get the them name of a nil (NOTHING);
