OutputServerLog

take a look into this event 'OnPlayerCommand'

[mgdmgd]

And for example where to log the files? it doesn't show any function to create the .txt file and can you please help me to explain better cause i am not that good with lua

It does, you just have to search better.

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/FileCreate

In the Netherlands we would call a you a 'blind chicken', although it is just a way of announcing somebody who doesn't search very well. (don't take this personal)

  
-- on the top of your script 
local newFile = fileCreate("command.log")       
fileFlush ( newFile ) -- log files require buffers to reduce hard-drive writing. (more performance)  
-- 
  
-- when a player writes a command 
if (newFile) then                                        
    fileWrite(newFile, "Log the blind chicken!")        
end 
-- 
  
-- on resource stop > 
if (newFile) then   
    fileClose(newFile) 
end 
--

Ammm can guys somebody give me a full code please? i am really noob at it

[ViRuZGamiing]

I wrote you a little script.

local filepath = "command-log.txt" 
local file 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerCommand", root, function (cmdname) 
    if (not fileExists(filepath)) then 
        fileCreate(filepath) 
    end 
    file = fileOpen(filepath) 
    fileSetPos(file, fileGetSize(file)) 
    fileWrite(file, getPlayerName(source).." typed command "..cmdname.."\n") 
    fileFlush(file) 
    fileClose(file) 
end) 

Just because I was interested in testing this out.

Text document looks sorta like this:

Viruz typed command stop 
Viruz typed command start 
Viruz typed command debugscript 

or this format I've just made;

local filepath = "command-log.txt" 
local file 
local months = { 
    "January", 
    "February", 
    "March", 
    "April", 
    "May", 
    "June", 
    "July", 
    "August", 
    "September", 
    "October", 
    "November", 
    "December", 
} 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerCommand", root, function (cmdname) 
    if (not fileExists(filepath)) then 
        fileCreate(filepath) 
    end 
    file = fileOpen(filepath) 
    fileSetPos(file, fileGetSize(file)) 
    if (cmdname ~= "stopanim") then 
        local time = getRealTime() 
        fileWrite(file,"["..time.monthday.." "..months[time.month].." "..(time.year+1900).." | "..time.hour..":"..time.minute..":"..time.second.."] "..getPlayerName(source)..": "..cmdname.."\n") 
        fileFlush(file) 
        fileClose(file) 
    end 
end) 

looks like this:

Opening and closing a file for every command isn't a good idea. (when the file gets larger you might experience lagg)

That's why the fileFlush function is so important.

fileFlush 

[mgdmgd]

Thank you ViRuZGamiing!!!! <3 and i got one more question is it possible to write down where is that command located at? like which resource? whenever he writes it too?

So I'd would be like this right;

local filepath = "command-log.txt" 
local file 
local months = { 
    "January", 
    "February", 
    "March", 
    "April", 
    "May", 
    "June", 
    "July", 
    "August", 
    "September", 
    "October", 
    "November", 
    "December", 
} 
  
addEventHandler( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), function () 
    if (not fileExists(filepath)) then 
        fileCreate(filepath) 
    else 
        file = fileOpen(filepath) 
    end 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerCommand", root, function (cmdname) 
    fileSetPos(file, fileGetSize(file)) 
    if (cmdname ~= "stopanim") then 
        local time = getRealTime() 
        fileWrite(file,"["..time.monthday.." "..months[time.month].." "..(time.year+1900).." | "..time.hour..":"..time.minute..":"..time.second.."] "..getPlayerName(source)..": "..cmdname.."\n") 
        fileFlush(file) 
    end 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("addEventHandler", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), function () 
    fileClose(file) 
end)

Jup, yup, yep,

(Except for the typo of the event on line 35 > onResourceStop)

And this line:

fileSetPos(file, fileGetSize(file))  

It only has to be called ones, when the file already exist. But is not a critical thing. After writing lines, the position will also change, so no need to call it every time you add content.

[ViRuZGamiing]

oh yeah lol sublime text derped

@mgdmgd

Commands are not bound on resources.

@ViRuZGamiing

Anyway, you are getting pretty good at lua. A total different level as when we last met.
