Need help translating a simple few lines of code to work with QBCore framework

[guapo6k]

I’m very new to developing and right now I’m trying to convert GitHub - kibook/poodlechat: Chat resource for Poodle's Palace FiveM/RedM server so that it will work with QBCore. All I need to change is a few lines of code so that when I type in the chat, it will show my character name based on QBCore instead of the framework “VORP”

Please share code next time, not screenshots. But here you go.

---

Replace;

local VORP = ServerConfig.Framework == 'VORP' and exports.vorp_core:vorpAPI()

With;

ESX = nil
TriggerEvent("esx:getSharedObject", function(obj) ESX = obj end)

---

And replace;

function GetName(source)
	if VORP then
		local char = VORP.getCharacter(source)
		return char.firstname .. ' ' .. char.lastname
	elseif HasNickname(source) then
		return GetNickname(source)
	else
		return GetRealName(source)
	end
end

With;

function GetName(source)
	return ESX.GetPlayerFromId(source).getName()
end

Never mind. I just helped someone with ESX, so I went into autopilot and wrote it for ESX, not QBCore. Sorry about that.

They should be replaced with this;

QBCore = exports["qb-core"]:GetCoreObject()

function GetName(source)
	local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(source)
	return Player.PlayerData.charinfo.firstname.." "..Player.PlayerData.charinfo.lastname
end

@DrAceMisanthrope

if VORP then

Thanks for the help, but now im getting this error

Heres what my code looks like:

QBCore = exports["qb-core"]:GetCoreObject()

function GetRealName(source)
	local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(source)
	return Player.charinfo.firstname.." "..Player.charinfo.lastname or '?'
end

function GetName(source)
	if QBCore then
		local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(source)
		return Player.charinfo.firstname.." "..Player.charinfo.lastname
	end
end

[DrAceMisanthrope]

Sorry, it should be;

Player.PlayerData.charinfo

Not Player.charinfo

@guapo6k

QBCore = exports["qb-core"]:GetCoreObject()

Okay now I’m really confused, that fixes the attempt to index a nil value error, but now I’m seeing this:

and heres how the code looks now:

QBCore = exports["qb-core"]:GetCoreObject()

function GetRealName(source)
	local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(source)
	return Player.PlayerData.charinfo.firstname.." "..Player.PlayerData.charinfo.lastname or '?'
end

function GetName(source)
		local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(source)
		return Player.PlayerData.charinfo.firstname.." "..Player.PlayerData.charinfo.lastname
	end

EDIT: I just had to add local to the beginning, thanks so much for your help your awesome!
