Player access from your resource

Read what a paired player can do in the CAD from your own resource on the same server: their callsign, whether they have patrol, dispatch or supervisor access, and their departments. Use it to open anything in game by CAD access - an armory, vehicle spawns, job menus, uniforms.

Setup

Have the server owner name your resource in PlateNet's server/security.lua, then restart platenet:

PlateNetSecurity = {
    PlayerAccess = {
        ['your_resource'] = true,
    },
}

The key is the resource folder name, exactly. Needs PlateNet resource 1.10.0 or newer.

GetPlayerAccess

exports.platenet:GetPlayerAccess(src, function(result)
    if result.success and result.unit then
        OpenPatrolMenu(src)
    end
end)

• src - number, required. Server id of the player. They need a paired tablet.

Call it when you need the answer, such as when a menu opens.

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "callsign": "1-ADAM-12",
  "unit": true,
  "dispatch": false,
  "supervisor": false,
  "civilian": false,
  "departments": [
    { "code": "LSPD", "service_type": "POLICE", "primary": true }
  ]
}

departments can be empty. Read it as a list whether it arrives as a list or an object.

Errors

result.error is one of these:

• Access denied. - Ask the server owner to add your resource under PlayerAccess in server/security.lua and restart PlateNet.
• Invalid player. - Pass the server id of a connected player, as a number.
• Player is not paired. - Also sets unpaired = true. Send the player to pair a tablet.
• Rate limit reached. - Wait a minute, then call again.
• PlateNet request failed. - Try again later.
