Something to get Account from the account Name.

[Master_11]

Hello,

Currently, I am working on a script of Player's Email. Its work is to retrieve the player's Email from his/her account name using "getAccountData"

 

Client: 

function getMailFromAccount(accName)
	local accName = guiGetText(acceditbox)
	triggerServerEvent("getMail", resourceRoot, localPlayer, accName)
end

function getMailID()
	if (eMail) then
	guiSetText(resultmail, "Result: "..eMail..".")
end
addEvent("setMailOnLable", true)
addEventHandler("setMailOnLable", localPlayer, getMailID)
end

 

Server:

function getMailFromAccount(accName, eMail)
	if (accName) then
		local account = getAccountFromName(accName)
	end
	if (account) then
		local eMail = getAccountData(account, "accounts.email")
		triggerClientEvent(client, "setMailOnLable", client, eMail)
	end
end
addEvent("getMail", true)
addEventHandler("getMail", getRootElement(), getMailFromAccount)

 

However, this code isn't working and I cannot find any other way to make it work. Any Ideas?

Also, I keep getting this errors: 

[20:10:08] WARNING: NTsGetMailID\server.lua:19: Bad argument @ 'getAccount' [Expected string at argument 1, got player]

Give full code maybe..

We are going to need the full code in order to give you a proper answer.

I don't see 'getAccount' nowhere.

@Peti

function getAccountFromName(name)
	return getAccount(name) or false
end

function getMailFromAccount(accName, eMail)
	if (accName) then
		local account = getAccountFromName(accName)
	end
	if (account) then
		local eMail = getAccountData(account, "accounts.email")
		triggerClientEvent(client, "setMailOnLable", client, eMail)
	end
end
addEvent("getMail", true)
addEventHandler("getMail", getRootElement(), getMailFromAccount)

 

Before using the first function, the value from "getAccountFromName" was (nil)

 

Aslo, Do you need the full client code too?

No, It's ok.

Have you tried debugging your 'getAccountFromName'? Maybe put an outputChatBox and see if the function returns an acc.

function getMailFromAccount(accName)
	local accName = guiGetText(acceditbox)
  	outputChatBox(accName)
	triggerServerEvent("getMail", resourceRoot, localPlayer, accName)
end

Something like this. It is for testing purposes.

 

If you don't get any account, check if the account exists.

 

EDIT:

If I'm correct, here you are passing a parameter to the function:

triggerClientEvent(client, "setMailOnLable", client, eMail)

but here you haven't defined anything:

function getMailID(eMail) -- here
	if (eMail) then
		guiSetText(resultmail, "Result: "..eMail..".")
	end
	addEvent("setMailOnLable", true)
	addEventHandler("setMailOnLable", localPlayer, getMailID)
end

 

Also, try this:

function getMailID(eMail) -- here
	if (eMail) then
		guiSetText(resultmail, "Result: "..eMail..".")
	end
end
addEvent("setMailOnLable", true)
addEventHandler("setMailOnLable", localPlayer, getMailID)

Sorry, I was very busy with some other work, so couldn't make a reply.

Yes, I missed defining the parameter on the client side. Thanks for that.

However, about the main issue, the problem was with this

triggerServerEvent

As I forgot to change the extra element "localPlayer" which was passing the player data to the server-side function. Also, "getAccountFromName" was not really useful in the whole function so I replaced it with "getAccount(accName)" which works perfectly fine as expected. Also, there were a few typing mistakes in the code too, I've fixed them. I don't know what happened that day maybe I was just way too tired to check the code carefully. Thanks anyways.

 

Pasting the fixed code for anyone who needs a reference in future.

Client:

function getMailFromAccount(accName)
	local accName = guiGetText(acceditbox)
	triggerServerEvent("getMail", resourceRoot, accName)
end
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", searchButton, getMailFromAccount, false)

function getMailID(mailID)
	local eMail = mailID
	if (mailID) then
		guiSetText(mailoutput, mailID)
	end
end
addEvent("setMailOnLable", true)
addEventHandler("setMailOnLable", resourceRoot, getMailID)

function invalidAcc()
	guiSetText(mailoutput, "Invalid Account.")
end
addEvent("mailAccInvalid", true)
addEventHandler("mailAccInvalid", resourceRoot, invalidAcc)

Server:

function getMailFromAccount(accName)
	local account = getAccount(accName)
	if (not account) then
		triggerClientEvent(client, "mailAccInvalid", resourceRoot)
		return false
	end
	local eMail = getAccountData(account, "accounts.email")
	triggerClientEvent(client, "setMailOnLable", resourceRoot, eMail)
end
addEvent("getMail", true)
addEventHandler("getMail", resourceRoot, getMailFromAccount)
