concommand.Add target someone

[VortexZ]

[B]How do I target someone in server console with [U]concommand.Add[/U]? [/B]

[freshmintyy]

I'm sorry... What?

[VortexZ]

If I want to make a command in server console: "nadmin_setgroup", how would I make it so it targets someone.

Use the arguments of the function you pass to concommand.Add and search a player according to what the arguments are.

Say you get a nickname for a player, just run with a loop in player.GetAll() and compare the v:Nick() to your argument. If its equal then you can assume you found the player and you may perform anything on v (the player, assuming in the loop you called it v)

concommand.Add("test_target_person", function( ply, cmd, args ) 
        local Target = NULL
  	for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
													
		if( string.find( string.lower( v:GetName() ), string.lower( args[1] ) ) != nil ) then

			Target = v
                        break
			
		end
		
	end
	
	if( IsValid( Target ) ) then 

            Target:Say("Run the command test_target_person <name> in console to make <name> say this message!")
         else
              
             print("Couldn't find target with partial name:", args[1] )
        end 

end ) 

or something like that

Pass the player as an argument

How do I make it runnable only from server console. Because everytime I type the command in normal console I get error:
[lua]

[ERROR] addons/nadmin/lua/autorun/cmds.lua:29: attempt to call method 'SetUserGroup' (a nil value)
1. unknown - addons/nadmin/lua/autorun/cmds.lua:29
2. unknown - lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua:54

[/lua]

[lua]
if IsValid( ply ) then return end
[/lua]
