So, this will work? CLIENT-SIDE 1: addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, function() --Define function rgbOpenPicker() function rgbOpenPicker() --Do some GUI stuff end end) CLIENT-SIDE 2: --Call for defined function, earlier rgbOpenPicker()

So IIYAMA, what can I do here, to make it work in same resource?

I tried exporting client-side function, and calling for it in client-side. Don't work. XML: <export function="rgbOpenPicker" type="client"/> CLIENT-SIDE 1: function rgbOpenPicker() guiSetVisible(window, true) showCursor(true, true) end CLIENT-SIDE 2: exports[getResourceName(getThisResource())]:rgbOpenPicker()

So that's how I can do it?

Well, imagine that you want to trigger other resource event, like comunicate within many resources. Is that: triggerEvent(":resource_nameOnEventTriggerred", resourceRoot, [arg1, arg2, arg3]) possible?

Example: You have made a scrollbar and you want to return scrollbar position to some variables by clicking button, I mean, some other scripts' variables. Like exports.... That's what I wanna get to my knowledge

KK, but how can I return data in different function, set by clicking a button? <<< ALL IN CLIENT!!! 'k, but how can I return data by clicking a button? Sorry for multiple questions in one comment, but my final is: How can I return data by clicking a button? CLIENT

Okay, I have now another idea, right? So, how can I make a function, that returns values, that will be set by clicking button? ALL IN CLIENT!!! @stPatrick what do you think 'bout this? /\ /\ /\

So basically, I wanted to make a function in server-side, that returns some stuff, that has been set-up in GUI, but this server-side function depends on, when some button is clicked, etc. Is there any way to do it?

triggerClientEvent() started working :: try #4 now, working on other problem. Sorry

I am done. I've made a function to display text on elements, on server-side, and I wanted to trigger client event, but what? Doesn't triggering. Look: allElems = 0 function dxDrawTextOnElem(element, text, height, distance, r, g, b, alpha, size, font) allElems = allElems + 1 triggerClientEvent("dxDraw", resourceRoot, element, text, height or 0, distance or 20, r or 255, g or 0, b or 0, alpha or 255, size or 1, font or "arial", allElems) end Boom, client-side script: --Ofcourse, I've created all tables + in "onClientRender" I put outputChatBox(), outputs "{}" (because tables are empty) addEvent("dxDraw", true) addEventHandler("dxDraw", resourceRoot, function(element, text, height, distance, r, g, b, alpha, size, font, k) local i = table.find(elements, element) --table.find(pattern, s) if i then elements[i] = element texts[i] = text heights[i] = height distances[i] = distance rs[i] = r gs[i] = g bs[i] = b alphas[i] = alpha sizes[i] = size fonts[i] = font else elements[k] = element texts[k] = text heights[k] = height distances[k] = distance rs[k] = r gs[k] = g bs[k] = b alphas[k] = alpha sizes[k] = size fonts[k] = font end end) addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function() for i, text in ipairs(texts) do dxDrawTextOnElement(elements[i], text, heights[i], distances[i], rs[i], gs[i], bs[i], alphas[i], sizes[i], fonts[i]) end end) Jesus, I'm done with it. Sorry for asking a similar thing, but it's really difficult for me. For real, I'm like doing it second time, still fails.

Actually that helped me Simple answer, simple result Forgot about magic word: T H A N K S

Bro Idk what are u saying 'bout. Really. I am sooo newbie to programmin' in MTA

Server-side: addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", resourceRoot, function(message, type_) if(type_ == 0) then triggerClientEvent("messageText", resourceRoot, message) setTimer( function() triggerClientEvent("messageText", resourceRoot, "") end, 10000, 1) end end) Client-side: addEvent("messageText", true) addEventHandler("messageText", resourceRoot, function(message) UNITED_MESSAGE = message end) addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function() dxDrawTextOnElement(localPlayer, UNITED_MESSAGE, 1, 20, 255, 255, 255, 255, 1, "default-bold") end)

What can u guys say to this ?

I've seen that in tutorial of triggerClientEvent() on MTA Wiki, but OK BTW: Still nothing

NEW CONTENT'S H E R E Please, move into other topic.

I guess here addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", resourceRoot, function(message, type_) if(type_ == 0) then triggerClientEvent("dxDrawMessageText", getRootElement(), message) setTimer( function() triggerClientEvent("dxDrawMessageText", getRootElement(), "") end, 10000, 1) end end) is the problem, with triggerClientEvent(), client: addEvent("dxDrawMessageText", true) addEventHandler("dxDrawMessageText", getLocalPlayer(), function(message) UNITED_MESSAGE = message end) addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function() dxDrawTextOnElement(localPlayer, UNITED_MESSAGE, 1, 20, 255, 255, 255, 255, 1, "default-bold") end) So, I tried to outputChatBox() inside event handler of dxDrawMessageText, but it keept doing completely nothing. My code for outputChatBox(): --Code from event handler of dxDrawMessageText outputChatBox(UNITED_MESSAGE) --Rest of code from event handler of dxDrawMessageText BTW: dxDrawTextOnElement() exists. Any idea?

OKAY, NEW CONTENT ^

Sooo, how can I use (I think for you well known) dxDrawTextOnElement() (client-side function, MTA Wiki site: [click]) in server-side scripts? I tried to export, plus this code: addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", resourceRoot, function(message, type_) if(type_ == 0) then call(resourceRoot, "dxDrawTextOnElement", source, message, 1, 20, 255, 255, 255, 255, 1, "default-bold") end end) (export in meta.xml for proof): <meta> <info author="VaporZ" name="VaporZ's utility [PL]" description="(desc)" type="script" version="1.0.1"/> <script src="cars.Lua" type="server"/> <script src="bank.Lua" type="server"/> <script src="utility.Lua" type="server"/> <script src="utility-c.Lua" type="client"/> <script src="testy.Lua" type="server"/> <file src="bank/accounts.xml"/> <file src="bank/atms.xml"/> <file src="cars/saved.xml"/> <file src="cars/shops.xml"/> <export function="dxDrawTextOnElement" type="client"/> </meta> But this don't work. Any ideas? Okay, I got further, but still it's not good. Look at this one (console error): ERROR: systems\utility.Lua:108: call: failed to call 'systems:dxDrawTextOnElement'

ur right Why imma so dumb to not think about it and dont test it out. PS.: I have 3rd grade from maths, thats why I guess

MOVED INTO: H E R E

This, don't work. Idk why. Look: addEventHandler("onClientRender", resourceRoot, function() dxDrawTextOnElement(localPlayer, "P L A Y E R", 1, 20, 0, 0, 255, 255, 1, "pricedown") end) Ofcourse, I have dxDrawTextOnElement() function in my script and script is in type client.

It's like 32nd when I test it out. dxDrawTextOnElement doesn't work. No errors, no results. Nothing. (My) code: --dxDrawTextOnElement is in my script + script is client-side addEventHandler("onClientRender", resourceRoot, function() for _, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do dxDrawTextOnElement(player, "P L A Y E R", 1, 20, 0, 255, 0, 255, 1, "pricedown") end end) --Idk wut is wrong Some advance?

Alright, thanks bro! Already solved, but thanks for your advance, too!
