AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T15:06:35.932Z

Hello There,

So i have made a menu, and am planning on releasing it on here at a later date, i have setup ped restrictions thats all done, but now im wanting to make it so it’s restricted to ace permissions, i have done my research on ace permissions looking at vespers topic (sorry if i spelt the name wrong) and have tryed what they posted in some topic but didn’t work the menu still worked etc, just the restriction wasnt working cheers.

Well then tell us how you tried it. We can’t guess what you did wrong without seeing what you tried

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T15:37:12.921Z

In my server.lua

RegisterServerEvent("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed", function(source)
    if IsPlayerAceAllowed(source, "the.permission.name.you.want") then
        TriggerClientEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", source, true)
    else
        TriggerClientEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", source, false)
    end
end)

In my client.lua

local allowedToUse = false
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    TriggerServerEvent("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed")
end)

RegisterNetEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", function(isAllowed)
    allowedToUse = isAllowed
end)

in my menu.lua

local allowedToUse = false
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    TriggerServerEvent("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed")
end)

RegisterNetEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", function(isAllowed)
    allowedToUse = isAllowed
end)

if allowedToUse then
onduty = not onduty
local str = nil
if onduty then
str = “^2 onduty”
else
str = “^1 offduty”
end
TriggerEvent(‘chatMessage’, “^1[SYSTEM]:^0 You are now”…str…"^0.")
else
TriggerEvent(“chatMessage”, “”, {255,255,255}, “^1You’re Not Authorised To Use This Command!”)
end

Do you have yourself added as admin on your server.cfg? If you do then you will have all permissions

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T15:41:37.640Z

Yes i have myself added as admin in the server.cfg

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T15:41:55.218Z

My menu still works fine with the code, but the chat command doesnt get created

d0p3t · 2019-09-17T15:43:44.770Z

You mean the chat message. Check if it even gets that far by debugging using print("something") in several places of your menu

Everything should work fine from what i can see. Remove yourself as ACE admin and restart your server to see if you cannot use it anymore

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T15:51:01.527Z

Actually hold up, what would i put in my menu.lua? would i put

if allowedToUse then
RegisterCommand('onduty', function()
		onduty = not onduty
		local str = nil
		if onduty then
			str = "^2 onduty"
		else
			str = "^1 offduty"
		end
	TriggerEvent('chatMessage', "^1[SYSTEM]:^0 You are now"..str.."^0.")
    else
        TriggerEvent("chatMessage", "", {255,255,255}, "^1You're Not Authorised To Use This Command!")
    end
end)
end

updating my lua files for easier understanding

This is my server.lua

RegisterServerEvent("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed", function()
    if IsPlayerAceAllowed(source, "on.duty") then
        TriggerClientEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", source, true)
    else
        TriggerClientEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", source, false)
    end
end)

This is my client.lua

local allowedToUse = false
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    TriggerServerEvent("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed")
end)

RegisterNetEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", function(isAllowed)
    allowedToUse = isAllowed
end)

RegisterCommand('onduty', function()
	if allowedToUse then
                    onduty = not onduty
                    local str = nil
                    if onduty then
                        str = "^2 onduty"
                    else
                        str = "^1 offduty"
                    end
                TriggerEvent('chatMessage', "^1[SYSTEM]:^0 You are now"..str.."^0.")
                else
                    TriggerEvent("chatMessage", "", {255,255,255}, "^1You're Not Authorised To Use This Command!")
	else
		TriggerEvent('chatMessage', '', {255, 255, 255}, '^3[^1SERVER^3]^0 You do not have permission to use this command.')
	end
	
end)

and my server.cfg

add_principal identifier.steam:1100001126ba2a9 group.admin #anthony

add_ace group.admin "on.duty" allow

d0p3t · 2019-09-17T16:54:10.057Z

Ah you are using a command.

Make sure you have the restricted variable in there, see https://docs.fivem.net/scripting-manual/migrating-from-deprecated/creating-commands/

Then use command.onduty

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T17:16:30.710Z

Client.lua

local allowedToUse = false
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    TriggerServerEvent("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed")
end)

RegisterNetEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", function(isAllowed)
    allowedToUse = isAllowed
end)

RegisterCommand('onduty', function()
	if allowedToUse then
                    onduty = not onduty
                    local str = nil
                    if onduty then
                        str = "^2 onduty"
                    else
                        str = "^1 offduty"
                    end
                TriggerEvent('chatMessage', "^1[SYSTEM]:^0 You are now"..str.."^0.")
                else
                    TriggerEvent("chatMessage", "", {255,255,255}, "^1You're Not Authorised To Use This Command!")
    end
end
end, true)

and i have also done

add_principal identifier.steam:1100001126ba2a9 group.admin #anthony

add_ace group.admin command.onduty allow

This should work shouldn’t it…

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T17:44:40.799Z

Right so, the code is working

local allowedToUse = false

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    TriggerServerEvent("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed")
end)

RegisterNetEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", function(isAllowed)
    allowedToUse = isAllowed
end)

RegisterCommand('onduty', function()


	if allowedToUse then
		onduty = not onduty
		local str = nil
		if onduty then
			str = "^2 onduty"
		else
			str = "^1 offduty"
		end
	TriggerEvent('chatMessage', "^1[SYSTEM]:^0 You are now"..str.."^0.")
    else
        TriggerEvent("chatMessage", "", {255,255,255}, "^1You're Not Authorised To Use This Command!")
    end
end, true)

But it’s still failing to fetch my ace permissions?, saying i don’t have permission to use this command, any pointers?

d0p3t · 2019-09-17T17:46:54.736Z

Don’t use allowedToUse. Use command ACE permissions.

See https://docs.fivem.net/scripting-manual/migrating-from-deprecated/creating-commands/#example

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T18:10:28.363Z

What do you mean by not using allowedToUse, what would i replace it with? i see that link and when i do

end, true)

it breaks the script

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T18:20:48.183Z

So, the script is working.
So it all works, just is still failing to fetch my ace permissions?

local allowedToUse = false

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    TriggerServerEvent("Roleplay-Menu.getIsAllowed")
end)

RegisterNetEvent("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("Roleplay-Menu.returnIsAllowed", function(isAllowed)
        allowedToUse = isAllowed
end)

RegisterCommand('onduty', function(source, args, rawCommand)

	if allowedToUse then
		onduty = not onduty
		local str = nil
		if onduty then
			str = "^2 onduty"
		else
			str = "^1 offduty"
		end
	TriggerEvent('chatMessage', "^1[SYSTEM]:^0 You are now"..str.."^0.")
    else
        TriggerEvent("chatMessage", "", {255,255,255}, "^1You're Not Authorised To Use This Command!")
    end
end, true)

AussieDropBear · 2019-09-17T18:43:33.718Z

Topic Solved, im using a group instead of a command, and has done it for me.
