[Question] Custom events

[kieran]

Hey, so I made a custom event with my login script, basically when a player registers an account it sets team to "Everyone" it was working, but my MTA messed up and I forget how I done it, scripts are below, any help would be great!

Team Change 

Everyone = createTeam ( "Everyone", 0, 255, 0 )
function regteam ()
setPlayerTeam ( source, Everyone )
outputChatBox ("Please press F1 for information and rules", source, 255, 50, 100)
end
addEventHandler("onRequestRegister",getRootElement(),regteam)

As you can see, this has a custom event to change team.

 

Custom Event 

function registerPlayer(username,password)
	if not (username == "") then
		if not (password == "") then
			local account = getAccount (username,password)
			if (account == false) then
				local accountAdded = addAccount(tostring(username),tostring(password))
				if (accountAdded) then
				outputChatBox ("#FF0000* #00FF00You have sucessfuly registered! [Username: #FFFFFF" .. username .. " #00FF00| Password: #FFFFFF" .. password .. "#00FF00 ]",source,255,255,255,true )
				triggerClientEvent (source,"hideLoginWindow",getRootElement())
				end
			end
		end
	end
end
addEvent("onRequestRegister",true)
addEventHandler("onRequestRegister",getRootElement(),registerPlayer)

Here is the event I have.

 

When a player clicks "register" this event is triggered, all scripts are server side...  Apart from the GUI of course

It all works, but won't set team someone know where I gone wrong?

use triggerEvent()

I don't know what triggers onRequestRegister but I suppose a GUI Button so that would be the source of your event so in regteam you're setting a team for your button. Might be false since I can't see the onRequestRegister as trigger part

end
addEvent("onRequestRegister",true)
addEventHandler("onRequestRegister",getRootElement(),registerPlayer)

THIS is onRequestRegister, what it does is checks the 2 edits "username" and "password", if the account isn't there it then adds the account and outputs a message.

In theory when a player registers, if I do:

Everyone = createTeam ( "Everyone", 0, 255, 0 )
function regteam ()
setPlayerTeam ( source, Everyone )
outputChatBox ("Please press F1 for information and rules", source, 255, 50, 100)
end
addEventHandler("onRequestRegister",getRootElement(),regteam)

The players team should be set....  But I don't know if I should just use localPlayer or onPlayerLogin....  I am slightly confusing myself basically I am going to make it to set the new registered players team and since there is no native event to check if an account is added for the first time, I am just trying to use the one on login panel.
