Client Account name

[JAVAAA]

Hey, how to get player's account name in client script? I used triggerServerEvent but doesn't work. Also, I want it returns as a string so I could use it in different ways, thanks.

addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",root,
function()
  AccountName = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source))
setElementData(source,"AccountName",tostring(AccountName))
end)

--------------------------
-- client side

AccountName = getElementData(localPlayer,"AccountName")

that is an easy way 

when player log in put data on player value is Account name

Nvm, worked. Can't I use event handler "onResourceStart"? Since event handler "onPlayerJoin" isn't suitable for me

addEventHandler ( 'onPlayerLogin' , root ,
  function ( )
    triggerClientEvent ( source , 'Account' , source , getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( source ) ) ) 
  end
)

addEvent ( 'Account' , true )
addEventHandler ( 'Account' , root ,
  function ( aAccName_ )
    guiSetText ( aLabel , tostring ( aAccName_ ) ) -- ex
  end
)

No, for this purpose, onResourceStart wouldn't work. 

[Ahmed Araby]

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root,
function( res )
if res == getThisResource() then
for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType ( "player" )) do
AccountName = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(v))
setElementData(v,"AccountName",tostring(AccountName))
end
end
end
)

but when any player enter server and login he won't take data AccountName with the value of his account name ..

Alright, thanks! Another question if you don't mind to answer it, how can I use "isObjectInACLGroup" function in client side?

addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",root,

local accName = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( source ) )
     if isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..accName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then
      setElementData(source,"Admin",true)
          end
     end
)

--- client

if getElementData(localPlayer,"Admin") then

the same previous ex. 
not at all ..

addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",root,
  function()
    local account = getPlayerAccount(source)
    setElementData(source,"account",getAccountName(account),true) --Syncs to the client
  end
end)

Setting the 4th argument to true will sync the element data from the server to client.

Elements-data are synchronized by default.

I think the version posted above with the triggerClientevent is a much better solution.
No one except the server and the client himself should really know the account name.
