AclGetGroup
From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
This function is used to get the ACL group with the given name. If you need most of the groups you should consider using aclGroupList instead to get a table containing them all.
Syntax
aclgroup aclGetGroup ( string groupName )
OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!
- Note: This function is a static function underneath the ACL Group class.
- Method: ACLGroup.get(...)
Required Arguments
- groupName: The name to get the ACL group from
Returns
Returns the ACL group if it could be found. Returns false/nil if it did not exist or failed for some reason.
Example
Example 1: This example makes every player able to use a command named "giveAccountAdminRights" that will add a specific accountname as an ACL object to the "Admin" group.
function giveAdminRights (playerSource, commandName, accountName) --add the function giveAdminRights and specify its arguments if accountName then --if there was an accountName entered then aclGroupAddObject (aclGetGroup("Admin"), "user."..accountName)) --add an ACL object using the form "user.[accountName]" to the ACL group "Admin" outputChatBox ("Account '"..accountName.."' succesfully added to the admin group", playerSource) --output a notification to the player who entered the command that the acocunt was successfully added else --else output an error message and the correct syntax of the command to the player who entered it outputChatBox ("No account name specified.", playerSource) outputChatBox ("Correct syntax: /giveAccountAdminRights [accountName]", playerSource) end end addCommandHandler ("giveAccountAdminRights", giveAdminRights) --add a command "giveAccountAdminRights" and attch the function "giveAdminRights" to it
Example 2: This example displays a list of all the online admins in the chat box (assuming your administrator's group in your ACL is called 'admin'):
players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) admins = "" for k,v in ipairs(players) do local accountname = "" if (isGuestAccount(getPlayerAccount(v)) == false) then accountname = getAccountName (getPlayerAccount(v)) if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. accountname, aclGetGroup ( "admin" ) ) then if (admins == "") then admins = getPlayerName(v) else admins = admins .. ", " .. getPlayerName(v) end end end end outputChatBox( "Online Admins:", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0) outputChatBox( " " .. tostring ( admins ), getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0)
