Admin Only print_chat help

noonoo · **Author**

How would i make the code below only visable to admins instead of all:

Code:

case 1: 
				{
					client_print(0,print_chat,"text for admin in here",command)
					server_print("text for admin in here",command)
				}

Many thanks in advance

Code:

case 1: {
    if(is_user_admin(id) == 1) {
        client_print(id,print_chat,"text for admin",command)
        server_print("text for admin",command)
    }
}

It's better to check like this:

Code:

case 1: {
    if(is_user_admin(id)) {
        client_print(id,print_chat,"text for admin %s",command)
        server_print("text for admin %s",command)
    }
}

I also noticed you added a parameter to client_print and server_print without %s.

And also, the above example probably doesn't cover using it on more than one person. If you want to use it on all admins in the server, you must use get_players and then cycle through each player, checking if they each have admin.

Like so:

Code:

        new players[32];
        get_players(players,g_num,"c")
        for(new GABEN = 0; GABEN < g_num; GABEN++)
        {
            new GABENadmin = players[GABEN]
            if(is_user_admin(GABENadmin))
            {
                client_print(GABENadmin,print_chat,"text for admin %s",command)
            
            }
        }

            }
        }

Stop using "GABEN" as variable names. It's not funny, and it makes it harder to read.

There were also a couple of errors in that script. Here's a fixed and more readable version:

Code:

new iPlayers[32],iPlayersnum,iPlayer
get_players(iPlayers,iPlayersnum,"c")
for(new iCount = 0;iCount < iPlayersnum;iCount++)
{
    iPlayer = iPlayers[iCount]
    if(is_user_admin(iPlayer))
    {
        client_print(iPlayer,print_chat,"text for admin %s",command)
        server_print("text for admin %s",command)               
    }
}

Hi guys many thanks for the help so far, from what i have read the code below will only show to the admin that did the command.

Code:

case 1: 
				{
             if(is_user_admin(id)) {
					client_print(id,print_chat,"text for admin ^"%s^ in here" has been used on you all",command)
				}
      }
				case 2: 
				{
             if(is_user_admin(id)) {
					client_print(id,print_chat,"text for admin ^"%s^ in here" has been used on everybody",admin,command)
				}
      }

I dropped the server_print as it was not needed really, also it not needed to show all admins infact maybe better that it does not.
Sorry to ask so many questions but its all new to me, trying to learn as much as poss as quickly as poss. Trying to run before i can walk

Many many thanks again guys

There are so many things wrong with that script. And I'm sure its not going to work the way you wanted to if you fixed all the errors.

I did the changes what i posted above and it seems to have worked ok, only i could see the text (admin) and no other players could.

What would you recommend instead Suicide3 for me to do to make it better or more code friendly.

Thanks for any advice in advance

Here is your exact code color coded.....use small tags instead of code tags.
Do you see where you screwed up?

Code:

case 1: 
                {
             if(is_user_admin(id)) {
                    client_print(id,print_chat,"text for admin ^"%s^ in here" has been used on you all",command)
                }
      }
                case 2: 
                {
             if(is_user_admin(id)) {
                    client_print(id,print_chat,"text for admin ^"%s^ in here" has been used on everybody",admin,command)
                }
      }
