I have not tested this, but you should read about ACL Groups and ACL Lists

In your case i think you might be looking for something along these lines...

 

function helpMe()
	-- your code hre
end
addCommandHandler ( "help", helpMe)

 

And then in:

<acl name="Default">
        <right name="command.start" access="false" />
        <right name="command.stop" access="false" />
        <right name="command.stopall" access="false" />
        ...etc etc...
</acl>

Add:

<right name="command.help" access="false" />

 

Might not be spot on... but along those lines

Jamie, i think he's talking about text that only admins can see, not commands that only admins can use...

So: outputChatBox's second parameter is what you are looking for. It's defaulted to root, so the text is visible to all children of root = all players.

I guess in you server there's no dummy element parent of admins (it would be not a normal thing...), so i think you should get all the admins and repeat the outputChatBox for every admin*

 

* To get the admins, you get all players. Then get their account and check if account is in "Admin" group with isObjectInACLGroup. If it is, output the text to that player:

--example
local players = getElementsByType( "player" ) --get ALL players
local adminACL = aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) --get the admin acl group
for _,thePlayer in pairs(players) do --loop the players
	if isObjectInACLGroup( getPlayerAccount( thePlayer ), adminACL ) then --check if the account of that player is an admin
		outputChatBox( "Your text goes here", thePlayer ) --if it is, outputChatBox to him
	end
end

Upon re-reading what he said, I agree that's what he probably wants, the user to be able to type /help "the message" and for it then to be delivered to admins only.
