Help Needed - Get account name

[maky55]

Hello, scripting newb here! I'm trying to make a test script that output True or False depending if the user is on the specified account (2kjoe2k), here is the script:

 

function getPlayerAccountName(playerSource, commandName)
    
    local accname = getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(playerSource))
            
    if accname == "2kjoe2k" then
    
        outputChatBox("True")
    else
        outputChatBox("False")
    end
end
addCommandHandler("test", getPlayerAccountName)

It's probably because I'm a newb but I can't get it to work. It doesn't post anything to chat and I get no errors with debugscript 3.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Yea... the command "test" cannot be used in MTA, your code looks fine and will work as soon as you change the command to something else, like "myaccount".

Thank you, I can't believe I didn't think to change the name of the command!

Who would actually think that the problem might be with the command name..? I found out the hard way as well...  You're welcome.

I wasted hours fixing a completely perfect script of mine until I just went YOLO and changed the command because there was nothing else left to do  Fun times... (not)
