some commands will not work

[Powtreeman]

i cant get /commands or /promote to work.

i have this in talkactions

<talkaction words="/promote;/demote" script="promote.lua"/>
<talkaction words="!commands;/commands" event="script" value="commands.lua"/>


just foudn out the post i found with the /commands script wasnt even a commands script it was a createguild script..... that explains why that one doesnt work but here is my promote script

local config = {
	broadcast = false
}

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
	if(param == '') then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Command param required.")
		return true
	end

	local t = string.explode(param, ",", 1)
	local pid = getPlayerByNameWildcard(t[1])
	if(not pid) then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Player " .. t[1] .. " not found.")
		return true
	end

	if(getPlayerAccess(pid) >= getPlayerAccess(cid)) then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Cannot perform action.")
		return true
	end

	local g, group = 1, getPlayerGroupId(pid)
	if(words:sub(2, 2) == "d") then
		g = -1
	end

	local newGroup = group + g
	if(t[2] ~= nil) then
		for i, id in ipairs(getGroupList()) do
			local tmp = getGroupInfo(id)
			if(isInArray({tmp.id, tmp.name}, t[2])) then
				newGroup = id
				break
			end
		end
	end

	if(newGroup <= 0 or newGroup == group or not setPlayerGroupId(pid, newGroup)) then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Cannot perform action.")
		return true
	end

	local str = "been " .. (group < newGroup and "promoted" or "demoted") .. " to " .. getGroupInfo(newGroup).name .. "."
	if(not config.broadcast) then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, param .. " has " .. str)
	else
		doBroadcastMessage(param .. " has " .. str, MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE)
	end

	doPlayerSendTextMessage(pid, MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, "You have " .. str)
	return true
end

looks like your engine doesn't support wildcard or the function has different name
you may use this instead:

getPlayerByName(t[1])

or

getCreatureByName(t[1])

getplayerbyname one works i think but now it says in game

20:42 Cannot perform action.
i have it in talk actions like this

<talkaction words="/promote" script="promote.lua"/>
<talkaction words="/demote" script="promote.lua"/>

I tried putting it in commands.xml too like this

<command cmd="/promote" group="5" acctype="1" log="yes"/>
<command cmd="/demote" group="5" acctype="1" log="yes"/>

but it shows in console

[25/07/2013 20:42:12] Unknown command /promote
[25/07/2013 20:42:12] Unknown command /demote
[25/07/2013 20:42:12] Unknown command !commands

i got all commands to be more responsive with ! instead of / but i need the script now.
another thing i need is to know how to tag things as lua like

  something something

oh i guess thats it. annoying to type it in but it does make it look better
