Show player nametag just for friends

[Artisz]

Hi!

It is possible that show player's nametag just for his friends? So don't see all players the nametag, just the friends?

Try to use

setPlayerNametagShowing 

and a boucle for to get player's friends with a getElementData ?

All of this client sided

Example:

  
--Client Side 
function resourceStart( ) 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    for key, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
       -- Make your getElementData here or get if localPlayer and player are friends 
        setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, false ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResouceRootElement(getThisResource()), resourceStart )

So if I set the elementdata, when he introduce himself like this:

setElementData(source, tonumber(targetPlayer), 1) 

And in clientside I try this:

function resourceStart() 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    for key, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
       if(getElementData(source, tonumber(player) == 1) then 
            setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, true ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResouceRootElement(getThisResource()), resourceStart 

It'll working? I can't try this now.

Forgot to setPlayerNametagShowing off for other player, but yea, should work

function resourceStart() 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    for key, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
       setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, false) 
       if(getElementData(source, tonumber(player) == 1) then 
            setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, true ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResouceRootElement(getThisResource()), resourceStart

It's not working. I have no errors or warnings.

[Wumbaloo]

function resourceStart() 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    for key, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
       setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, false) 
       if(getElementData(getLocalPlayer(), tonumber(player) == 1) then 
            setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, true ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResouceRootElement(getThisResource()), resourceStart

Nothing. Always show the all player's nametag. And It's don't react anything(outputChatBox don't do anything).

[Wumbaloo]

function resourceStart() 
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    for key, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
       setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, false) 
       if(getElementData(getLocalPlayer(), tonumber(player) == 1) then 
            setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, true ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResouceRootElement(getThisResource()), resourceStart

It's working, thank you! Sorry for the lot of problem!

If someone need this, here is my version:

addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, 
    function() 
        local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
        for key, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
            setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, false) 
        if(getElementData(getLocalPlayer(), tonumber(getElementData(player,"accountID"))) == 1) then 
            setPlayerNametagShowing ( player, true ) 
        end 
    end 
end)
