{Solved} Talkaction - checking parameters. (When parameters are mispelled)

[Cadyan]

Normally this WORKS when you use the right parameters in the game, but if you spell the name wrong then you get an error message in the console.

function onSay(cid, words, param)
    if(param ~= "") then
        local lCheck = getPlayerByName(param)
        doPlayerPopupFYI(cid, ' '..lCheck..' ')
    end
end

This is when I use the wrong parameters in the game:

Player not found.

function onSay(cid, words, param)
    if(param == "") then
        return true
    else
        doPlayerPopupFYI(cid, getPlayerByName(param))
    end
    return true
end

same problem

I don't understand the problem. Isn't it good that you get a message when the player wasn't found? =P
You get the error in-game right?

No, I get the error in the console. - updated first post

        doPlayerPopupFYI(cid, ' '..lCheck..' ')
    else
    doPlayerPopupFYI(cid, 'No Player With This Name')
end
    end
end

Ok, then it seems like a problem in your source code. The function is probably sending an error message instead of returning NULL. If you have the source code you can check this in luascript.cpp.

Edit:
I just realized that it depends on the version of TFS. So what version do you have? =P

this is because the server can't find player.so it is returning Null and Error Message.You Can Remove The Error Message If You Wish from luascript.cpp as Elime Posted

This is what I needed, thanks. I don't know why I couldn't figure it out myself, I have alot on my mind.
