Its just a part of code

[guiSetText problem]

Hey guys, I want to set a text to a button while the player is frozen it should setText Unfreeze if not set Freeze.

I tried that , but it doesn't works like I want, I want like when you Frozen a player in Admin Panel it shows, "Freeze" / "UnFreeze".

Can anyone give me a hand?

  if (isElementFrozen(player)) then  
        guiSetText (myButton, "Unfreeze") 
    else 
        guiSetText (myButton, "Freeze") 
    end 

Thanks in advance.

[I need someone to Explain that]

Thanks alot I apreciate that,

One more thing, I want to know when should I use Break and While I read that in lua website but I didn't understand it well

[I need someone to Explain that]

Hello dear scripters,

Today I want to know when should we use root or getRootElement() and when should we use source in trigger(Server/Client) Event and in addEventHandler

For example, I see in codes sometime: they use root and sometime they use source or localPlayer

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerChangeNick", getRootElement(),funcName)--This with root element why? 

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerChangeNick", getLocalPlayer(),funcName)--and this with localPlayer 

Thanks in advance.

[SQL; UPDATE and INSERT]

Thank you for the clear informations & for your examples.

By the way,

I start doing a login system I want to store password in should I use the value as TEXT or INTEGER?

because as you know, Passwords can't be controlled it can be numbers and words in same time

dbExec (connection, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS  data (account TEXT, password TEXT)" ) 

Thanks in advance.

[SQL; UPDATE and INSERT]

Hey all,

can anyone explain to me when should I use UPDATE and when should I use INSERT ?

[One more problem]

Still the same problem

Help me please

[One more problem]

Arm@y's code doesn't works, It keep doing the same!

Wait make me understand you want the animation to be doubled, Or...?

No,I want when cop shoot the wanted player the old timer must be removed and make new timer again.

Because when cop shoot wanted twice time , the animation plays for double timer, and I won't that.

for example: 3000Ms + 3000Ms: on each twice shoot

So it's kinda annoying,

[One more problem]

still one more problem, It's when I tase someone and the time still running,Like shooting him twice time.

The animation be doubled I mean the old timer + new timer and If another player tased again it keep adding the timer up

like on each time the time keep adding up .

So can you help me please

[Hey how can I do that]

Anyone please!? I need it urgence

[Hey how can I do that]

Im sorry i didnt understand what u mean ..

Listen, I agree with using toggelControl function but when I use it, I set a Timer to the shooter and When the timer ends the player can't shoot again normaly, He need to "RELOAD" the weapon by pressing "R" key to shoot.

And it's kinda annoying I want it to shoot after the timer ends without any reload..

[Hey how can I do that]

Yes, but I already explained to solidsnake that this function "toggleControl" "fire", force the player to reload after the end of the timer.

and he recommend me to edit this reload resource which it in my server,

If you know how please help me

function forceReload(player) 
    reloadPedWeapon (player) 
end 
addCommandHandler("Reload weapon",forceReload) 
  
function bindPlayerReloadKey(player) 
    bindKey(player,"r","down","Reload weapon") 
end 
  
function bindReloadForAllPlayers() 
    for  index, player  in  ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        bindPlayerReloadKey(player) 
    end 
end 
  
addEvent("onPlayerReload",true) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerReload",getRootElement(), 
function() 
       reloadPedWeapon (source) 
end) 

[Hey how can I do that]

You need to to disable the silencer weapon ? only?

Yeah !
