Check if player is staff + add a rank

[Joe]

Hello,
So I'm trying to create a function who would check if player is in staff list and then if player is staff it would give him a rank for his Tools Access. But I do not know how to access to the server option (I tried server.staff (with tokenize) but without result). So here is my question, how can I get the server option value, to know all the staff members?

serveroptions.*

for example, serveroptions.staff returns an array of all staff listed in the staff=..., what you can do is if (player.account in serveroptions.staff) ...

Okay thanks you, I also tried another things to let me add ranks to each staff but I don't know if it's really secure to do it like that:

function staffMembers(account){
  isStaffMember = false;
  //staffArray: id, rank, name
  this.staffArray = {
    {"GraalID",Rank, "Name"},
    {"GraalID2",Rank2, "Name2"}
  };
  
  for (temp.i = 0; i < this.staffArray.size(); i++)
  {
    if(account == this.staffArray[i][0])
    {
      isStaffMember = true;
      memberRank = this.staffArray[i][1];
    }
  }
} 

and serveroptions.staff or serveroptions.staff.tokenize(",") always return 0:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats(){
  if(player.account in serveroptions.staff.tokenize(",")){
    player.chat = "You are Staff!";
  }
  else{
    player.chat = serveroptions.staff;
  }
} 

[John]

serveroptions.staff is a serverside variable:

function onActionServerSide() {
  if (player.account in serveroptions.staff) player.chat = "I'm staff!";
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "");
}

Oh okay and what do you think about my 2nd method?

[John]

It's not a great idea to store staff IDs in a weapon, having it in serveroptions is better.

But I like how far you've gone with it, I have cleaned it up for you:

function isStaffMember(acc){
  temp.staffArray = {
    {"GraalID", Rank, "Name"},
    {"GraalID2", Rank2, "Name2"}
  };
  
  for (temp.i = 0; i < temp.staffArray.size(); i++)
  {
    if(acc == temp.staffArray[i][0])
    {
      return { temp.staffArray[i][1], temp.staffArray[i][2] };
    }
  } return "Not a staff member";
} 

[Joe]

Thanks, and whats about if I store it into a DB NPC? Or I could also use serveroption then in a database I set the GraalId and the rank and check it with database, which could be more secure, hmmmm?

Having the settings saved in the SO is your best guess.

Unless you have a list of constants of each account, that would be cool, but that's way too advanced and useless.

What SO stand for?
