IsObjectInACLGroup

This template is no longer in use as it results in poor readability. This function is used to determine if an object is in a group.

Syntax

bool isObjectInACLGroup ( string theObject, aclgroup theGroup )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Note: This function is also a static function underneath the ACL Group class.

Method: aclgroup:doesContainObject(...)

Required Arguments

• theObject: the name of the object to check. Examples: "resource.ctf", "user.Jim".
• theGroup: the ACL group pointer of the group from which the object should be found.

Returns

Returns true if the object is in the specified group, false otherwise.

Example

Example 1: This example adds a jetpack command that is only available to admins. When entering the command, it will toggle the player's jetpack.

addCommandHandler ( "jetpack",
    function ( thePlayer )
        if doesPedHaveJetPack ( thePlayer ) then -- If the player have a jetpack already, remove it
            removePedJetPack ( thePlayer ) -- Remove the jetpack
            return -- And stop the function here
        end
		
     -- Otherwise, give him one if he has access

     local accName = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) ) -- get his account name
     if isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..accName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) ) then -- Does he have access to Admin functions?
          if not doesPedHaveJetPack ( thePlayer ) then -- If the player doesn't have a jetpack give it.
               givePedJetPack ( thePlayer )  -- Give the jetpack
          end
     end
end
)

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)
