Syntax

client getAccountClient ( account theAccount )

Required Arguments

  • theAccount: The account you wish to get the client of.

Returns

Returns a client element if the account is currently in use, false otherwise.

Example

This example checks if the user attached to an account is a player, and if so if they're alive.

function isAccountUserAlive ( theAccount )
    local theClient = getAccountClient ( theAccount )       -- get the client attached to the account
    if ( getElementType ( theClient ) == "player" ) then    -- see if it's a player (rather than an admin for example)
        if ( not isPlayerDead ( theClient ) ) then          -- if the player's health is greater than 0 
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end
