Arguments / elements (bug in my script)

[TrickyTommy]

Hi. I have a problem, that whoever is online on my server, sees edit boxes, that should only appear to who clicked a button (i use localPlayer), and it simply just appears for the ones who already passed the login panel.
Pieces of scripts: (Client and serverside)

Client:
 

function loginButton_Click()
	loginUsernameText = guiGetText (loginUsername)
	loginPasswordText = guiGetText (loginPassword)
	triggerServerEvent ("attemptLogin", localPlayer, localPlayer, loginUsernameText, loginPasswordText)
end

Server:
 

function attemptLogin(element, accountname, password)				  
	local q = exports.db:sqlQuery ("SELECT * FROM users WHERE accountname = '"..accountname.."' AND password = '"..md5(password).."';")
	local result = dbPoll(q, -1)
	if #result > 0 then
		for k, v in ipairs(result) do
			triggerClientEvent ("outputAccountMessage", element, "Successful login!", "information")
			setElementData (element, "logged", true, true)
			triggerClientEvent ("destroyEdits", element)
			
			setElementData (element, "id", v['id'], true)
			setElementData (element, "admin", v['admin'], true)
			setElementData (element, "aduty", v['aduty'], true)
			setElementData (element, "anick", v['anick'], true)
			setElementData (element, "banned", v['banned'], true)
			setElementData (element, "accountname", v['accountname'], true)
			
			local q = exports.db:sqlQuery ("SELECT * FROM characters WHERE owner = '"..getElementData(element, "id").."';")
			local result = dbPoll(q, -1)
			if #result > 0 then
				for k, v in ipairs(result) do
					setElementData (element, "hud", true, true)
					setElementData (element, "characterChosen", true, true)
					spawnPlayer (element, tonumber(v['posX']), tonumber(v['posY']), tonumber(v['posZ']))
					fadeCamera (element, true)
					setCameraTarget (element, element)
					showCursor (element, false)
					showChat (element, true)
					setPedArmor (element, v['armor'])
					setElementHealth (element, v['health'])
					setElementInterior (element, v['interior'])
					setElementDimension (element, v['dimension'])
					setElementData (element, "name", v['name'], true)
					setElementModel (element, v['skinID'])
					setElementData (element, "anick", v['anick'], true)
					setElementData (element, "aduty", v['aduty'], true)
					dbFree (q)
				end
			else
				setElementData (element, "characterChosen", false, true)
				triggerClientEvent ("characterCreationMenu", element, element, v['accountname'])
			end
			
		end
	else
		triggerClientEvent ("outputAccountMessage", element, "Login failure!", "error")
	end
	dbFree (q)
end
addEvent ("attemptLogin", true)
addEventHandler ("attemptLogin", root, attemptLogin)

I mean for example edit boxes will appear to every if localPlayer's account has no character that is owned by his account id. And at the call of "destroyEdits" the editBoxes will get destroyed for everyone who has visual on the login panel. What did i screw up?

Syntax:

bool triggerClientEvent ( [table/element sendTo=getRootElement()], string name, element sourceElement, [arguments...] )

bool triggerClientEvent ( [table/element sendTo=getRootElement()], string name, element sourceElement, [arguments...] )

 

You forgot to set the sendTo.

So the correct way is this: ?
 

triggerClientEvent (element, "characterCreationMenu", element, v['accountname'])

ohh i see. i thought that triggerServerEvent's arg order is the same as triggerClientEvent's.

It is a common mistake (I am making sometimes the same mistake), but there is always wiki to find it.

yeah, but this forum helped me more so far than any mta-sa wikipedia page.
