--client
addEventHandler("onDgsMouseClick", root, function()
if source == askbt1 then
local askEdit = DGS:dgsGetText(askEdit)
playSoundFrontEnd(1)
triggerServerEvent( "askPlayer", getLocalPlayer(), askEdit)

--server
function askPlayer (ThePlayer, cmd, askEdit)
outputChatBox ( "#DC143C[SYS] #ffffff["..hours..":"..minutes..":"..second.."] #FFA500ASK: #FFFFFF", source, 255, 100, 200,true )
end
addEvent("askPlayer",true)
addEventHandler("askPlayer",root,askPlayer)

how to get a chat message from "dgsGetText(askEdit)" ?

I'm not quiet sure that I understood you, do you mean like get text from dgsGetText and post it as an outputChatBox?

if so:

--client
addEventHandler("onDgsMouseClick", root,
function()
	if source == askbt1 then
		local text = DGS:dgsGetText(askEdit)
		playSoundFrontEnd(1)
		outputChatBox ("#DC143C[SYS] #ffffff["..hours..":"..minutes..":"..second.."] #FFA500ASK: #FFFFFF"..tostring(text), 255, 100, 200)
	end
end)

but that will only outputs to the player who triggered the event. If you want to show the message to everyone send it to server side.

This should work on the server side. So How do i make a text(from dgsGetText in client side) send to server side in outputChatBox?

Try this

-- client
addEventHandler("onDgsMouseClick", root,
function()
	if source == askbt1 then
		local text = DGS:dgsGetText(askEdit)
		playSoundFrontEnd(1)
		triggerServerEvent( "askPlayer", localPlayer, text)
	end
end)

-- server

function askPlayer (text)
outputChatBox ( "#DC143C[SYS] #ffffff["..hours..":"..minutes..":"..second.."] #FFA500ASK: #FFFFFF"..tostring(text), client, 255, 100, 200,true )
end
addEvent("askPlayer",true)
addEventHandler("askPlayer",root,askPlayer)

I have basically just sent "text" with the trigger and received it with the function askPlayer (text) then used ..tostring(text) in the outputChatBox.
