So, I wrote this code, and I keep getting this error - 

Attempt to concatenate local ' targetPlayer'  (a userdata value)

I tried to use it with getPlayerName() too, but it didn't work. Any hints?

player playerSource, string commandName, [string arg1, string arg2, ...] 

function issueJail(triggerer - source, commandname - command, arg1 -targetPlayer, arg2 -reason)

Line 6 should be getPlayerName(targetPlayer) while all the other targetPlayer can remain as they are.

Got a warning - Bad argument @ 'getPlayerName'[Expected element at argument 1, got string 'James'] ( it's a full name )

Try : getPlayerFromPartialName (targetPlayer)

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetPlayerFromPartialName

That's not a built-in mta function so you'll need to copy the whole wiki code into your file before using it.

Did it, with the whole function. 

Attempt to concetanate (might be wrong) local targetPlayer(a userdata value)

function getPlayerFromPartialName(name)
    local name = name and name:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower() or nil
    if name then
        for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
            local name_ = getPlayerName(player):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""):lower()
            if name_:find(name, 1, true) then
                return player
            end
        end
    end
end

function issueJail(source, command, targetPlayer, reason)

if targetPlayer and reason then
local targetPlayer = getPlayerFromPartialName(targetPlayer)

outputChatBox("Spēlētājs " ..targetPlayer.." ir saņēmis brīdinājumu par "..reason..".", source, 255,0, 0)
