[Solved] Hiding player name on aiming

[ManeXi]

Well I want to hide the name of a player when localPlayer is aiming it, then restore it when it stops aiming it.

function targetingActivated ( target ) 
    if ( target ) then 
        if getElementType(target) == "player" then 
            outputChatBox(getElementType(target),255,255,255) 
            setPlayerNametagShowing ( target, false ) 
        end 
    elseif not (target) then 
        outputChatBox("Heil Hitler!",0,255,0) 
        setPlayerNametagShowing ( target, true ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerTarget", getRootElement(), targetingActivated ) 

For obvious reasons when I stop aiming the enemy the "target" var becomes into false, so I can't hide a name of a undefinied player.

My question is how may I save the previous target?

Tried this and nothing.

function targetingActivated ( target, prevTarget ) 
    if ( target ) then 
        if getElementType(target) == "player" then 
            outputChatBox(getElementType(target),255,255,255) 
            setPlayerNametagShowing ( target, false ) 
            target = prevTarget 
        end 
    elseif not (target) then 
        outputChatBox("Heil Hitler!",0,255,0) 
        setPlayerNametagShowing ( prevTarget, true ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerTarget", getRootElement(), targetingActivated )

try this

function targetingActivated (target) 
    if (target) then     
        if getElementType(target) == "player" then 
            outputChatBox(getElementType(target),255,255,255) 
            setPlayerNametagShowing (target, false) 
            prevTarget = target 
        end      
    else     
        if (prevTarget) then 
            outputChatBox("Heil Hitler!",0,255,0) 
            setPlayerNametagShowing (prevTarget, true) 
        else 
            outputChatBox("There is no target / previous target.") 
        end 
    end 
end 

but this may show player nick only if you aim again and have no target. is that what you want?
