Events.Subscribe("chatCommand", function(command)
    if command == "/testid" then
        local playerID = Game.GetPlayerId()
        local serverID = Player.GetServerID(playerID)
        local playerID2 = Player.GetIDFromServerID(serverID)

        if playerID == playerID2 then
            Chat.AddMessage("GetIDFromServerID works!")
        end
    end

        Chat.AddMessage("My rockstarID: " .. Player.GetRockstarID())
    end

Example:

-- in client script:
Events.Subscribe("chatCommand", function(command)
    if command == "/myping" then
        Events.CallRemote("commandMyPing", {})
    end
end)

-- in server script:
Events.Subscribe("commandMyPing", function()
    local source = Events.GetSource()

    Chat.SendMessage(source, "Your ping is: {0000FF}" .. Player.GetPing(source))
end, true)

Kick​

Kicks a specified player.

Player.Kick(int serverID)

note

If you want to send a message to the player before the kick for example, you have to create a thread and delay the kick by 1 second, otherwise the message will not reach the player.

Example:

-- in client script:
Events.Subscribe("chatCommand", function(command)
    if command == "/kickme" then
        Events.CallRemote("commandKickMe", {})
    end
end)

Events.Subscribe("commandKickMe", function()
    Player.Kick(Events.GetSource())
end, true)

Player.SetSession(int serverID, int sessionID)

note

Valid session ids are from 0-65535. 0 is the default session.

warning

This function only sets which session the player should be in, it does not mean that he is currently in it. Use IsSessionActive to check this.

Example:

-- in client script:
Events.Subscribe("chatCommand", function(command)
    if command == "/privatesession" then
        Events.CallRemote("commandSession", { true })
    elseif command == "/publicsession" then
        Events.CallRemote("commandSession", { false })
    end
end)

-- in server script:
Events.Subscribe("commandSession", function(private)
    local source = Events.GetSource()

    if private then
        Player.SetSession(source, source)
    else
        Player.SetSession(source, 0)
    end
end, true)

GetSession​

int sessionID = Player.GetSession(int serverID)

warning

This function only gets which session the player should be in, it does not mean that he is currently in it. Use IsSessionActive to check this.

Example:

-- in client script:
Events.Subscribe("chatCommand", function(command)
    if command == "/mysession" then

    end
end)

-- in server script:
Events.Subscribe("commandMySession", function()
    local source = Events.GetSource()

    Chat.SendMessage(source, "My sessionID: " .. Player.GetSession(source))
end, true)

IsSessionActive​

Returns whether a player is active in their session.

bool active = Player.IsSessionActive(int serverID)

    if command == "/privatesession" then
        Events.CallRemote("commandSession", { true })
    elseif command == "/publicsession" then
        Events.CallRemote("commandSession", { false })
    end
end)

-- in server script:
Events.Subscribe("commandSession", function(private)
    local source = Events.GetSource()

    if private then
        Player.SetSession(source, source)
    else
        Player.SetSession(source, 0)
    end

    Thread.Create(function()
        while not Player.IsSessionActive(source) do
            Thread.Pause(50)

            if Player.IsSessionActive(source) then
                Chat.BroadcastMessage(Player.GetName(source) .. " switched the session!")
            end
        end
    end)
