This function is used to get the ACL group with the given name. If you need most of the groups you should consider using [[aclGroupList]] instead to get a table containing them all.

This function is used to get the ACL group with the given name. If you need most of the groups you should consider using aclGroupList instead to get a table containing them all.

Syntax

aclgroup aclGetGroup ( string groupName )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Note: This function is a static function underneath the ACL Group class.
Method: ACLGroup.get(...)


Required Arguments

  • groupName: The name to get the ACL group from

Returns

Returns the ACL group if it could be found. Returns false/nil if it did not exist or failed for some reason.

Example

Example 1: This example makes every player able to use a command named "giveAccountAdminRights" that will add a specific accountname as an ACL object to the "Admin" group. 

function giveAdminRights (playerSource, commandName, accountName) --add the function giveAdminRights and specify its arguments
	if accountName then --if there was an accountName entered then
		aclGroupAddObject (aclGetGroup("Admin"), "user."..accountName)) --add an ACL object using the form "user.[accountName]" to the ACL group "Admin"
		outputChatBox ("Account '"..accountName.."' succesfully added to the admin group", playerSource) --output a notification to the player who entered the command that the acocunt was successfully added
	else --else output an error message and the correct syntax of the command to the player who entered it
		outputChatBox ("No account name specified.", playerSource)
		outputChatBox ("Correct syntax: /giveAccountAdminRights [accountName]", playerSource)
	end
end

addCommandHandler ("giveAccountAdminRights", giveAdminRights) --add a command "giveAccountAdminRights" and attch the function "giveAdminRights" to it

Example 2: This example displays a list of all the online admins in the chat box (assuming your administrator's group in your ACL is called 'admin'): 

players = getElementsByType ( "player" )
admins = ""
for k,v in ipairs(players) do
   local accountname = ""
   if (isGuestAccount(getPlayerAccount(v)) == false) then
      accountname = getAccountName (getPlayerAccount(v))
      if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. accountname, aclGetGroup ( "admin" ) ) then
         if (admins == "") then
            admins = getPlayerName(v)
         else
            admins = admins .. ", " .. getPlayerName(v)
         end
      end
   end
end
outputChatBox( "Online Admins:", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0)
outputChatBox( " " .. tostring ( admins ), getRootElement(), 255, 255, 0)
