GUI Window not showing

Hugo_Almeidowski · January 27, 2019

CLIENT:

function playerJoin()
        local chooseSpawn = guiCreateWindow (0.25, 0.15, 0.30, 0.4, "Spawn", true)
        guiWindowSetMovable(chooseSpawn, true)
        guiWindowSetSizable(chooseSpawn, false)
        showCursor(true)
        
        buttonLS = guiCreateButton(0.6, 0.87, 0.3, 0.1, "Los Santos", true, chooseSpawn)
        addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick", buttonLS, spawnLosSantos)
        
        buttonSF = guiCreateButton(0.1, 0.87, 0.3, 0.1, "San Fierro", true, chooseSpawn)
        addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick", buttonSF, spawnSanFierro) 
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), playerJoin)

So. Supposedly, whenever a player joined the server a window with two buttons should appear. When he clicked in one button he would spawn LS, when he clicked on the other button he would spawn in SF.

The problem is that the window doesn't even show up.

The spawn functions are working because I made them triggable with commands and they work.

"onClientPlayerJoin" does not trigger for the local player, use the event "onClientResourceStart" instead. Also, put false in the fourth argument here:

addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick", buttonLS, spawnLosSantos)
addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick", buttonSF, spawnSanFierro)

-- like this:
addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick", buttonLS, spawnLosSantos, false)
addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick", buttonSF, spawnSanFierro, false)

Thanks!

But what does it trigger for then?

Why false?

It still isn't showing

DNL291 · January 27, 2019

It triggers for all players except the local player according to the wiki page:

onClientPlayerJoin:

This event is triggered when a player joins a server. It is triggered for all players except the local player, as the local player joins the server before their client-side resources are started. It would also be possible for two players to join within a few seconds of each other and for the two players' scripts may not receive onClientPlayerJoin events as their scripts wouldn't have started yet.

Regarding the "false" in "addEventHandler":

Setting "false" will trigger the event only when the source element is clicked (in this case the button). By default, the event triggers when the parent element is clicked too.

Well, those are the errors I can see:

This line in meta.xml:

	<scrpt src="markets.lua" type="server" />

There's a typo, replace "scrpt" with "script".

Use resourceRoot instead of getRootElement() here:

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(), playerJoin)

Incorrect use of triggerServerEvent, it must be like this:

triggerServerEvent( "spawnarLosSantos", localPlayer )

Set to "true" the 2nd argument (the arg: allowRemoteTrigger) of addEvent:

addEvent("spawnarLosSantos", true)

In the spawning function, do this:

function spawnLS(thePlayer)
	local thePlayer = thePlayer and thePlayer or source
	spawnPlayer (thePlayer, 1479, -1672, 14)
	setCameraTarget(thePlayer, thePlayer)
end

Hope you understood it ;)

I think I did. Thanks for the help!!!

But it's stil not showing up haha

Have you used the /debugscript 3 command? Make sure there's no errors related to this code showing.

Btw, show your code so I can see how it is.

It does not work on server console, you should type this command in-game.

I can't use the command, it says I don't have permission, even tho I gave myself admin.

About the debugging messages, I just received one saying joinHandler and the ones when I teleport. The spawn functions are working.

It's something related with this code (that comes after the one we were trying to fix)

function checkPing()
    local ping = getPlayerPing(getLocalPlayer())
    outputChatBox(ping, localPlayer)
    if (ping > 200) then
            outputChatBox("O teu ping é".. ping.. ". Está muito elevado! Tenta reduzi-lo se possível.")

    else
            outputChatBox("O teu ping é".. ping.. ". Está razoável! Tenta que não aumente.")
    end
end
addCommandHandler("pingz", checkPing)

Whenever I take it out of the script, it works.

It should have worked, maybe it's some problem with your ACL.

I guess that's because it has an extra symbol in the code that appears when copying from the forums.

This is happening to me when I copy the client-side code (look at the end of the code):

Converting to ANSI:

Be sure to remove these symbols and test your script again.

No symbols whatsoever

You'll need to fix your admin permissions to be able to use the /debugscript 3 command.

Sorry but there's nothing else I can help you with, I even tested the code and it works.
