function opengate(player) 
  local accName = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( player ) ) 
     if isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..accName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then 
       moveObject ( gate, 4000, 204,1876.0999755859,13.800000190735) 
       else 
       outputChatBox ("You are not admin! Go away from admin base")

make sure you have this function and enable object see through in this function as it doesn't work with objects , i use a PED then make it's alpha 0...

well you can enable objects by changing some settings:

function dxDrawTextOnElement(TheElement,text,height,distance,R,G,B,alpha,size,font,checkBuildings,checkVehicles,checkPeds,checkDummies,seeThroughStuff,ignoreSomeObjectsForCamera,ignoredElement) 
                local x, y, z = getElementPosition(TheElement) 
                local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
                local distance = distance or 20 
                local height = height or 1 
                                local checkBuildings = checkBuildings or true 
                                local checkVehicles = checkVehicles or false 
                                local checkPeds = checkPeds or false 
                                local checkObjects = checkObjects or true 
                                local checkDummies = checkDummies or true 
                                local seeThroughStuff = seeThroughStuff or false 
                                local ignoreSomeObjectsForCamera = ignoreSomeObjectsForCamera or false 
                                local ignoredElement = ignoredElement or nil 
                if (isLineOfSightClear(x, y, z, x2, y2, z2, checkBuildings, checkVehicles, checkPeds , checkObjects,checkDummies,seeThroughStuff,ignoreSomeObjectsForCamera,ignoredElement)) then 
                    local sx, sy = getScreenFromWorldPosition(x, y, z+height) 
                    if(sx) and (sy) then 
                        local distanceBetweenPoints = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D(x, y, z, x2, y2, z2) 
                        if(distanceBetweenPoints < distance) then 
                            dxDrawText(text, sx+2, sy+2, sx, sy, tocolor(R or 255, G or 255, B or 255, alpha or 255), (size or 1)-(distanceBetweenPoints / distance), font or "arial", "center", "center") 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end

i didnt understand you so well can u explain a bit better

dxDrawTextonElement is not an MTA-Defined function , you need that function first , the one i gave you.

and dxDrawTextOnElement doesn't work on Objects unless you edit the settings, the ignoredElement , etc ,etc

Hmm, now its better ty

outputChatBox ("You are not admin! Go away from admin base")  

you are also outputting the text to all players, by not putting any element

use

outputChatBox("You are not admin! Go away from admin base", player)
