State Functions

Overview

The Zyrix API provides comprehensive player state management functions for controlling player movement, freezing, and other behavioral states. These functions are essential for administrative control and event management.

FreezePlayer

Control player movement by freezing or unfreezing them.

Syntax

local success, status, newState = exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(staffId, targetId, freeze)

Parameters

staffId (number) - Server ID of the staff member performing the action
targetId (number) - Server ID of the player to freeze/unfreeze
freeze (boolean, optional) - true to freeze, false to unfreeze, nil to toggle

Returns

success (boolean) - Whether the action succeeded
status (string) - Status code: 'success', 'no_permission', 'player_not_found', 'invalid_target'
newState (boolean) - The player’s new freeze state

Example

-- Freeze a player
local success, status, isFrozen = exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(source, targetId, true)

if success then
    local stateText = isFrozen and "frozen" or "unfrozen"
    TriggerClientEvent('notification', source, 
        string.format("Player %s has been %s", GetPlayerName(targetId), stateText)
    )
else
    print("Freeze action failed:", status)
end

-- Toggle freeze state
local success, status, isFrozen = exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(source, targetId)

SetPlayerInvincible

Make a player invincible or vulnerable to damage.

Syntax

local success, status = exports['zyrix_admin']:SetPlayerInvincible(staffId, targetId, invincible)

Parameters

staffId (number) - Server ID of the staff member
targetId (number) - Server ID of the target player
invincible (boolean) - true for invincible, false for vulnerable

Returns

success (boolean) - Whether the action succeeded
status (string) - Status code

Example

-- Make player invincible for event
local success, status = exports['zyrix_admin']:SetPlayerInvincible(source, targetId, true)

if success then
    TriggerClientEvent('notification', targetId, "You are now invincible!")
    TriggerClientEvent('notification', source, 
        string.format("%s is now invincible", GetPlayerName(targetId))
    )
end

Temporary Freeze System

local temporaryFreezes = {}

local function temporaryFreeze(staffId, targetId, duration)
    -- Freeze the player
    local success, status = exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(staffId, targetId, true)
    
    if not success then
        return false, status
    end
    
    -- Store freeze information
    temporaryFreezes[targetId] = {
        staffId = staffId,
        startTime = os.time(),
        duration = duration,
        timerId = nil
    }
    
    -- Set unfreeze timer
    temporaryFreezes[targetId].timerId = SetTimeout(duration * 1000, function()
        local unfreezeSuccess = exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(staffId, targetId, false)
        
        if unfreezeSuccess then
            TriggerClientEvent('notification', targetId, 
                string.format("You have been unfrozen after %d seconds", duration)
            )
            TriggerClientEvent('notification', staffId, 
                string.format("%s has been automatically unfrozen", GetPlayerName(targetId))
            )
        end
        
        temporaryFreezes[targetId] = nil
    end)
    
    TriggerClientEvent('notification', targetId, 
        string.format("You have been frozen for %d seconds", duration)
    )
    
    return true, "success"
end

-- Command for temporary freeze
RegisterCommand('tfreeze', function(source, args)
    if #args < 2 then
        TriggerClientEvent('chat:addMessage', source, {
            args = {"[Usage]", "/tfreeze <player_id> <seconds>"}
        })
        return
    end
    
    local targetId = tonumber(args[1])
    local duration = tonumber(args[2])
    
    if not targetId or not duration or duration <= 0 then
        TriggerClientEvent('notification', source, "Invalid parameters")
        return
    end
    
    temporaryFreeze(source, targetId, duration)
end, true)

Freeze Zone System

    local playerCoords = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(playerId))
    
    for zoneName, zone in pairs(freezeZones) do
        local distance = #(playerCoords - zone.center)
        if distance <= zone.radius then
            return true, zoneName
        end
    end
    
    return false, nil
end

-- Monitor players for freeze zones
CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        Wait(1000) -- Check every second
        
        local players = GetPlayers()
        for _, playerId in ipairs(players) do
            local inZone, zoneName = isPlayerInFreezeZone(playerId)
            
            if inZone then

                        TriggerClientEvent('notification', playerId, 
                            string.format("Entered freeze zone: %s", zoneName)
                        )
                    end
                end
            else
                -- Check if player left any freeze zones
                for zoneName, zone in pairs(freezeZones) do
                    if zone.activePlayers[playerId] then
                        local success = exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(1, playerId, false) -- Console unfreeze
                        if success then

                end
            end
        end

-- Cleanup on player disconnect
AddEventHandler('playerDropped', function()
    local playerId = source
    if playerStates[playerId] then
        playerStates[playerId] = nil

Bulk State Management

local function bulkFreezeOperation(staffId, playerIds, freeze, reason)
    local results = {
        success = {},

            table.insert(results.success, playerId)
            TriggerClientEvent('notification', playerId, 
                string.format("You have been %s. Reason: %s", 
                freeze and "frozen" or "unfrozen", reason or "Administrative action")
            )
        else

        string.format("Bulk %s: %d success, %d failed", 
        action, #results.success, #results.failed)
    )
    
    return results
end

-- Command for mass freeze
RegisterCommand('massfreeze', function(source, args)

        local playerPed = GetPlayerPed(playerId)
        eventMode.originalStates[playerId] = {
            frozen = IsPedFrozen(playerPed),
            invincible = GetPlayerInvincible(playerId)
        }
        
        -- Apply event states
        local freezeSuccess = exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(staffId, playerId, true)
        local invincibleSuccess = exports['zyrix_admin']:SetPlayerInvincible(staffId, playerId, true)
        
        if freezeSuccess then

        end
        
        TriggerClientEvent('notification', playerId, "Event mode activated - You are frozen and invincible")
    end
    
    TriggerClientEvent('chat:addMessage', -1, {
        color = {255, 215, 0},
        multiline = false,
        args = {"[Event]", "Event mode activated - All players frozen"}
    })
    
    return true, "Event mode started"
end

-- End event mode - restore original states
function eventMode.stop(staffId)
    if not eventMode.active then
        return false, "Event mode not active"
    end
    
    -- Restore original states
    for playerId, originalState in pairs(eventMode.originalStates) do
        if GetPlayerName(playerId) then -- Player still online
            exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(staffId, playerId, originalState.frozen)
            exports['zyrix_admin']:SetPlayerInvincible(staffId, playerId, originalState.invincible)
            
            TriggerClientEvent('notification', playerId, "Event mode deactivated - States restored")
        end
    end
    
    -- Clear event mode data
    eventMode.active = false
    eventMode.frozenPlayers = {}
    eventMode.invinciblePlayers = {}
    eventMode.originalStates = {}

        multiline = false,
        args = {"[Event]", "Event mode deactivated - States restored"}
    })
    
    return true, "Event mode stopped"
end

-- Commands for event mode
RegisterCommand('startevent', function(source, args)
    local success, message = eventMode.start(source)
    TriggerClientEvent('notification', source, message)
end, true)

RegisterCommand('stopevent', function(source, args)
    local success, message = eventMode.stop(source)
    TriggerClientEvent('notification', source, message)
end, true)

Error Handling

Handle common scenarios when managing player states:

local function safeFreezePlayer(staffId, targetId, freeze)
    -- Validate players exist
    if not GetPlayerName(staffId) then
        return false, "Staff member not found"
    end
    
    if not GetPlayerName(targetId) then
        return false, "Target player not found"
    end
    
    -- Check if action is necessary
    local playerPed = GetPlayerPed(targetId)
    local currentlyFrozen = IsPedFrozen(playerPed)
    
    if freeze ~= nil and currentlyFrozen == freeze then
        local stateText = freeze and "already frozen" or "already unfrozen"
        return false, string.format("Player is %s", stateText)
    end
    
    -- Attempt freeze action
    local success, status, newState = exports['zyrix_admin']:FreezePlayer(staffId, targetId, freeze)
    
    if not success then
        local errorMessages = {
            no_permission = "You don't have permission to freeze players",
            player_not_found = "Target player not found",
            invalid_target = "Invalid player ID"
        }
        
        local message = errorMessages[status] or ("Freeze action failed: " .. status)
        TriggerClientEvent('notification', staffId, message)
    end
    
    return success, status, newState
end

Player state functions are powerful tools for server management. Use them responsibly and always provide clear communication to affected players.

Consider implementing automatic state restoration systems for temporary administrative actions to prevent players from being permanently stuck in modified states.
