[Question] Getting player on login

[kieran]

I'm trying to get the player when he joins and trigger an event tied to a function, it originally has a marker, you hit marker then you start the script, it works with adding a command handler to the function, but I can't just add an onPlayerLogin event as I want it to check team. Here's all you should need to save confusion.

Function to trigger client side event (works 100%)

IronMarker = createMarker (327.93359375, 865.84765625, 19.0625, "cylinder", 2, 0, 200, 55, 255)
local IronMinerTeam = createTeam("Iron_Miner", 20, 100, 150)
IronJobBlip = createBlipAttachedTo ( IronMarker, 56 )

function IronMiner ( hitElement, matchingDimension )
	if isElement(hitElement) and getElementType(hitElement) == "player" and matchingDimension then
	if getElementData( hitElement, "Iron.pres" ) == nil then
		setElementData (hitElement, "Iron.pres", 0)
	--outputChatBox("You have successfully registered as an iron miner, please enter the marker again to start working!", hitElement, 255, 0, 0)
	end
		if ( IronMinerTeam ) then
			if isPedOnGround ( hitElement ) then
				setPlayerTeam(hitElement, IronMinerTeam)
				--triggerClientEvent ( hitElement, "ShowIron", hitElement )
				local TheIron = getElementData( hitElement, "Iron.pres" )
				if (TheIron) then
				if ( tonumber (TheIron) >= tonumber (9999999)) then 
				outputChatBox ("You may only mine iron if your iron is below 99999999, please sell some at the T icon on F11 or by typing: /selliron amount", hitElement, 255, 0, 0)
			elseif ( tonumber (TheIron) <= tonumber (9999999) or nil) then 
				triggerClientEvent ( hitElement, "IronMinerStuff", hitElement )
			else 
				outputChatBox("You must be on foot to change team!", hitElement, 255, 0, 0)
					end
				end 
			end
		end
	end
end

addEvent("IronLoginEvent", true)
addEventHandler("IronLoginEvent", getRootElement(), IronMiner)
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", IronMarker, IronMiner)

Function that is not working (Meant to trigger the event above)

function LoginHandler ()
	local checkTeam = getTeamFromName("Iron_Miner")
		
	if ( checkTeam ) then 
		local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam(player)
	
		if ( playerTeam == checkTeam ) then
			triggerEvent ( "IronLoginEvent", player )
		end
	end 
end

addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root, LoginHandler)

So it keeps showing up with error on line 5 (on second code snippet) saying that it expected a player at argument one where getPlayerTeam is, I tried localPlayer and source....  How do I get the player? 

This is meant to trigger client event to make a marker and a blip, that's all.

Thanks for help.

Well firstly add player varialbe in the function like this LoginHandler (player)

and you can replace Lines  2,3,4,5,6,7 with those 2 lines 

local team = getPlayerTeam(player)
	if ( getTeamName(team) == "Iron_Miner" ) then

It says it gets the account when the player logs in, so clearly not the player.....  Here is the script that gets and saves a players team.

--Team save
function onPlayQuit ( )
      local playeraccount = getPlayerAccount ( source )
      if ( playeraccount ) and not isGuestAccount ( playeraccount ) then -- if the player is logged in
	      local myTeam = getPlayerTeam ( source )
			if (myTeam) then
			
            local currentTeam = getTeamName ( myTeam ) 
            setAccountData ( playeraccount, "TeamLog", currentTeam ) -- save it in his account
      end
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", getRootElement ( ), onPlayQuit )


--Team load
function onPlayLogin (_, playeraccount )
      if ( playeraccount ) then
            local LoadTeam = getAccountData ( playeraccount, "TeamLog" )

            if ( LoadTeam ) then
			      teamLoad = getTeamFromName ( LoadTeam ) 
                  setPlayerTeam ( source, teamLoad )
            end
      end
end
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerLogin", getRootElement ( ), onPlayLogin )

It says:

[2017-09-05 16:33:00] WARNING: IronMiner\Iron_Miner_S.lua:95: Bad argument @ 'getPlayerTeam' [Expected player at argument 1, got account]
[2017-09-05 16:33:00] WARNING: IronMiner\Iron_Miner_S.lua:96: Bad argument @ 'getTeamName' [Expected team at argument 1, got boolean]

So it is getting account, NOT player, I am wanting to know how to get the player only...  remember what I said originally, I tried player, source, etc...  But same result, source does notihng and player gets account. Same thing happens when I assign "thePlayer" to the function, as you shown me with player, it does the exact same....  At a wall here haha, all I need is to get the players team and trigger an event if that player is in the specified team when they log in.
