Hello everyone, I started recently,
so I'm really a layman, with very little knowledge in the MTA area,
I'm triggering an event, and it seems to call correctly, but the dxDrawText functions are not being executed, nor the showCursor

Function calling the event in another script

triggerClientEvent(source,"onLogin",source)

And here's the eventHandler in another script

local screenW, screenH = guiGetScreenSize()

addEventHandler("onLogin", getRootElement(),
    function()
        GUIEditor.pImg[1] = guiCreateStaticImage(0.32, 0.32, 0.19, 0.35, ":player/player_Sexo/IMG/IMG_Masculino.png", true)
        guiSetAlpha(GUIEditor.pImg[1], 0.85)


        GUIEditor.pImg[2] = guiCreateStaticImage(0.50, 0.32, 0.19, 0.35, ":player/player_Sexo/IMG/IMG_Feminino.png", true)
        guiSetAlpha(GUIEditor.pImg[2], 0.86) 
       
        dxDrawText("MASCULINO", screenW * 0.3602, screenH * 0.3083, screenW * 0.4586, screenH * 0.3431, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
        dxDrawText("FEMININO", screenW * 0.5406, screenH * 0.3083, screenW * 0.6391, screenH * 0.3431, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
        
        showCursor(source)
        outputChatBox("FUNÇÃO CHAMADA")

    end
)

I think you need to register the event, use addEvent("onLogin",true) on line 2, also Im not sure how you are using triggerClientEvent, if it will fire for all players or only the source of (?), you need to check it, I tested it inside a command and firing at resource root and its working

Dx functions, like dxDrawText shows only once (for 1 frame).

You need to use these function in a render function, like onClientRender what call it in every frame.

 

function renderFunction()
	dxDrawText("MASCULINO", screenW * 0.3602, screenH * 0.3083, screenW * 0.4586, screenH * 0.3431, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
	dxDrawText("FEMININO", screenW * 0.5406, screenH * 0.3083, screenW * 0.6391, screenH * 0.3431, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end

And you can start the render with onClientRender event, attach it to `renderFunction`.

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, renderFunction)

-- and stop it with: removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, renderFunction)

Using this way you showed it worked, but it appears on the login screen, how can i put, to show at specific times, as if I had the ability to "hide" them and "show" them again

You can show it if attach function to the onClientRender Event and hide it if you remove the handler. (like in example)

But you can use gui label, its works like other gui elements. => https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiCreateLabel
