OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

- pass: The password to set for this account for future logins.
Optional Arguments
- allowCaseVariations: Whether the username is case sensitive (if this is set to true, usernames "Bob" and "bob" will refer to different accounts)

Example
Example 1: This enables players to register on your server by using /register <password> in the chat window.
function registerPlayer ( source, commandName, password ) -- Check if the password field is blank or not (only blank if they didnt enter one) if ( password ~= "" and password ~= nil ) then --Attempt to add the account, and save its value in a var local accountAdded = addAccount( getPlayerName(source), password ) if ( accountAdded ) then -- Tell the user all is done outputChatBox ( "Thank you " .. getPlayerName(source) .. ", you're now registed, you can login with /login", source ) else -- There was an error making the account, tell the user outputChatBox ( "Error creating account, contact the server admin", source ) end else -- There was an error in the syntax, tell the user the correct syntax. outputChatBox ( "Error creating account, correct syntax: /register <password>", source ) end end addCommandHandler ( "register", registerPlayer ) -- add the command handler
This code differs by allowing the user to change their username that they wish to use.
Example 2: This enables players to register on your server by using /register <username> <password> in the chat window.
function registerPlayer ( source, commandName, username, password )
if(password ~= "" and password ~= nil and username ~= "" and username ~= nil) then
local accountAdded = addAccount(username,password)
if(accountAdded) then
outputChatBox("Thank you " .. getPlayerName(source) .. ", you're now registed, you can login with /login",source)
else
outputChatBox("Error creating account, contact the server admin.",source)
end
else
outputChatBox("Error creating account, correct syntax: /register <nick> <pass>",source)
end
end
addCommandHandler ( "register", registerPlayer ) -- add the command handler
Example 3: This code differs again so the user can only register once /register <username> <password>.
bRegisteredOnce = {}
function registerPlayer ( source, commandName, username, password )
if(password ~= "" and password ~= nil and username ~= "" and username ~= nil and not bRegisteredOnce[source]) then
local accountAdded = addAccount(username,password)
if(accountAdded) then
outputChatBox("Thank you " .. getPlayerName(source) .. ", you're now registed, you can login with /login",source)
bRegisteredOnce[source] = true
else
outputChatBox("Error creating account, contact the server admin.",source)
end
else
if bRegisteredOnce[source] == true then
outputChatBox("You already registered on this server!",source)
else
outputChatBox("Error creating account, correct syntax: /register <nick> <pass>",source)
end
end
end
