Adding logs to: ESX Heal

JokeDevil

**Here i will explain how to add the export to the esx_basicneeds /heal command

The file we will edit is: esx_basicneeds/server/main.lua

Since we don’t have the second player id available we need to change the code for the revive command to get the information we need.

First we need to change getting the player to getting the player id.

{name = 'playerId', help = 'The player id', type = 'player'}

By default it will return a player but we need the id so we change it to this:

{name = 'playerId', help = 'The player id', type = 'playerId'}

But since we now have the player id and not the player we need to get the player to revive them.
For that we add this line of code:

tPlayer = ESX.GetPlayerFromId(args.playerId)

Good so now we have the player id and the player we want to revive.
To revive the player we need to change this

args.playerId.triggerEvent('esx_basicneeds:healPlayer')

to this:

tPlayer.triggerEvent('esx_basicneeds:healPlayer')

This is because we changed the player to the player id.

Now that the player has been revived we will make the log to show in discord.
We add the export right below the revive function.

exports.JD_logs:createLog({
    EmbedMessage = "**"..GetPlayerName(xPlayer.source).."** healed **".. GetPlayerName(tPlayer.source).."**",
    color = "#FFFFFF",
    player_id = xPlayer.source,
    player_2_id = tPlayer.source,
    channel = "heal",
})

The Embed message will show: Player_A healed Player_B

SO TO SUM UP THE CODE WE HAVE CHANGED HERE IS A BEFORE AND AFTER:

Before:

ESX.RegisterCommand('heal', 'admin', function(xPlayer, args, showError)
    args.playerId.triggerEvent('esx_basicneeds:healPlayer')
    args.playerId.triggerEvent('chat:addMessage', {'^5HEAL', 'You got healed.')))}
end, true, {help = 'Heal someone.', validate = true, arguments = {
    {name = 'playerId', help = 'player id', type = 'player'}
}})

After:

ESX.RegisterCommand('heal', 'admin', function(xPlayer, args, showError)
    tPlayer = ESX.GetPlayerFromId(args.playerId)
    tPlayer.triggerEvent('esx_basicneeds:healPlayer')
    tPlayer.triggerEvent('chat:addMessage', {'^5HEAL', 'You got healed.')))}
    exports.JD_logs:createLog({
    EmbedMessage = "**"..GetPlayerName(xPlayer.source).."** healed **".. GetPlayerName(tPlayer.source).."**",
        color = "#FFFFFF",
        player_id = xPlayer.source,
        player_2_id = tPlayer.source,
        channel = "heal",
    })
end, true, {help = 'Heal someone.', validate = true, arguments = {
    {name = 'playerId', help = 'player id', type = 'playerId'}
}})

Updated to use the V2.0.0 export

JohnHeatz

So, this happened to me with other ones, but they are working now on version 2.0.1; however, when I update the heal command to be able to have logs for it, the command seems to disappear completely and says that it doesn´t exist anymore. Any idea what could be happening?

JokeDevil

JohnHeatz Depending on how you have setup your command.
You might have made a mistake and therefore the command will no longer be avalible.

JohnHeatz

JokeDevil thanks for the response, so, for this one I literally copied your output and replaced my basicneeds heal, so the one working (without logs is this):

Now, I replaced it with this:

At this point, the command is no longer there, maybe it is something silly, but I can´t see it

JokeDevil

JohnHeatz Does it give no errors when you start the resource?

JohnHeatz

JokeDevil none at all. The heal command is the only one that just stops "existing" in the server for some reason. With other commands I noticed that the issue was, somehow, that if I commented the original registercommand and then added the customized one, this happened, but for this one I just edited it directly, and it just disappears. Haven't tried with the revive one either, as I want to get this one working first before updating the other one.

JokeDevil

JohnHeatz What esx version are you using? then i can try it myself and see why it is not working.

JohnHeatz

ESX v1 final and it is interesting because the other logs do work fine, I did the same for the revive one, and that one works, but when I try with this one, the command just disappears.

Phoenix

JohnHeatz Were you ever able to find a solution to the issue? I am running into the same thing running V1 final.

JokeDevil

Phoenix JohnHeatz could either one of you share the code for the heal command you guys have?

Here is the code that is currently in there and operating normally;

ESX.RegisterCommand('heal', 'admin', function(xPlayer, args, showError)

end, true, {help = 'Heal a player, or yourself - restores thirst, hunger and health.', validate = true, arguments = {

}})

And i replaced it with the code that was provided up above in the guide;

ESX.RegisterCommand('heal', 'admin', function(xPlayer, args, showError)

end, true, {help = 'Heal someone.', validate = true, arguments = {

}})

Ive attempted to model the code after the same code for the revive command but nothing i do can get it to work. the heal command no longer registers and i have to revert all my changes to the original.

I found out how it works. In my case i dont need any messages printed to the chat so i deleted them.
