table problem

[Zcraks]

local button = {}

function menu
	button[1] = ...
	button[2] = ...


function click ()
	if source == button ??????? and source ~= guiWind then
      if source == button[1] then
		...

How to check for all buttons?

[Addlibs]

local button = {}

function createMenu()
  button[1] = ...
  button[2] = ...

  -- either add handlers yourself
  addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", button[1], click, false)
  addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", button[2], click, false) -- if you add a false after the function name (getPropagated parameter), the function won't trigger for the elements parents (e.g. the parent gui window)

  -- or use a loop here
  for i = 1, #button do -- start at i = 1 and perform the body of the block and increment i until i = #button (number of elements in button table)
    addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", button[i], click, false)
  end
end


function click()
  -- beacuse getPropagated is set to false on all handlers, you don't need to test whether this is a valid source (that is, source will never be your guiwindow), all you need to do is branch depending on which button it is
  if source == button[1] then
    ...
  elseif source == button[2] then
    ...
  end
end

Would be a much better way of doing this, imo.

I'm not sure but you may need to put the click function above the function with addEventHandlers.

You can also attach the eventHandler to the parent GUI, if you have at least one GUI parent.

 

 

local myWindow = guiCreateWindow ( 0, 0, 0.5, 0.4, "window", true )

local button = {}

function click ()
	if source ~= myWindow then
		if source == button[1] then
    
		elseif source == button[2] then

		end
	end
end



button[1] = guiCreateButton( 0.3, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "button 1!", true, myWindow ) -- 1
button[2] = guiCreateButton( 0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "button 2!", true, myWindow ) -- 2

addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", myWindow, click, true) -- true = propagation enabled
