Example

Example 1: This example creates a new team for a player, then adds him to it.

function gimmeATeam(source, commandName, teamName)
    local newTeam = createTeam(teamName) -- create a new team with the specified name
    if newTeam then -- if it was successfully created
        setPlayerTeam(source, newTeam) -- add the player to the new team
    end
end
addCommandHandler("giveteam", gimmeATeam)

Example 2: This example creates two teams, one for Admin and one for Freeroamers, when the resource this script is in is started.

function createTeamsOnStart()
    teamAdmmin = createTeam("Admin", 0, 255, 0) -- change the 3 numbers(0,255,0), the first number is ColourR, the second is ColourG, and the last one is ColourB
    teamFreeroamers = createTeam("Freeroamer", 200, 0, 100)
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, createTeamsOnStart) -- we attach the function to this resource's root element

Example 3: This example creates a team for Admin and when an admin logs in, he will be set in the Admin team.

function createAdminTeamOnStart()
    AdminTeam = createTeam("Admin", 0, 255, 0) -- create a new team and name it 'Admin'
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, createAdminTeamOnStart) -- add an event handler

function setAdminTeam()
    if isObjectInACLGroup("user." .. getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(source)), aclGetGroup("Admin")) then -- if he is admin
        setPlayerTeam(source, AdminTeam) -- set him to admin team
    end
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", root, setAdminTeam) -- add an event handler
