sendmail porblem

[bookkc]

local function ChatSystem(event, player, msg, _, lang)
local plll = player:GetName()
local subject = "Hello"
local text = "Hello"
SendMail(subject, text, 18, plll, 62)
print "aaaaaaaaaa"
end

RegisterPlayerEvent(18, ChatSystem)

 lua_scripts\exhanger.lua:7: bad argument #4 to 'SendMail' (Player expected)

whats wrong? i give the player name...

[Rochet2]

It expects a Player object, not a string. A name is a string.
So player, not player:GetName().

 

Seems the documentation is wrong/outdated for the function too. Says it takes in a number when the error clearly says it takes a Player.

[bookkc]

so, if i understand you, i need to get player object ???

 

how i can get a object???

[bookkc]

like this ??

player:GetObjectGUID ???i nit understand

Just player.

 

It seems you are using Eluna which is from 2014.
Hmm, what core are you using and where did you get it from?

[bookkc]

documentation is ok and there should be low GUID not player.

bookkc, you need to read documentation carefully and use correct type of data otherwise will be error. 

receiverGUIDLow - Low GUID of the receiver.
senderGUIDLow - Low GUID of the sender.

Therefore use sender:GetGUIDLow() and receiver:GetGUIDLow() and remember that you can't send email to yourself.

maybe this not working on old core but in my case all ok.

 

[bookkc]

so, how to send mail from Server to player??? how i can get Low GUID  of server ?? and etc?

[toha]

SendMail( "subject", "this is from server", receiver:GetGUIDLow(), 0)

it works but i get email after relogin only. maybe need some time without relogin i dont know

i have this

 

lua_register(L, "SendMail", &LuaGlobalFunctions::SendMail);                                             // SendMail(subject, text, receiverLowGUID[, sender, stationary, delay, itemEntry, itemAmount, itemEntry2, itemAmount2...]) - Sends a mail to player with lowguid. use nil to use default values on optional arguments. Sender is an optional player object. UNDOCUMENTED

 

[toha]

then i dont know seems like your old core.

i receive email even with this 

SendMail( "subject", "this is from server", p:GetGUIDLow());
