[Problem] thePlayer

[Z4Zy]

Hi Again....

        in client side of the LUA script, we could done like below,

local player = getLocalPlayer ()

then the word player is equal to the "local player's" specifications.

But in server side....  it couldn't done, because

getLocalPlayer ()

 is a client side event. So what is the way of enter it in to the server side ??

You can't. It is possible in client side, because every client side script runs separately om every players PC. The server side script runs only on the server PC and affects everyone. 

When you trigger a server side event, from client side, you get the client in the variable name "client". It's like source at events

in every 2 seconds, admin's health should decrease by 5%. Can you fix below wrong code 

 

function decrease ( )
 local accName = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) )
    for _,p in pairs(getElementsByType ( "player" )) do 
		if isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..accName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then
			setElementHealth ( thePlayer, getElementHealth(thePlayer) - 5 )
        end
    end
end

setTimer ( decrease, 2000, 0 )
