Problem with TriggerClientEvent

[syn0nym]

Okay, so i created a gui function in client side, then i want to trigger it using triggerClientEvent in the server side, but when the code run there a some problem. 

Client

GUIEditor = {
	window = {},
	label = {},
	edit = {},
	button = {},
}

function centerWindow (center_window)
    local screenW, screenH = guiGetScreenSize()
    local windowW, windowH = guiGetSize(center_window, false)
    local x, y = (screenW - windowW) /2,(screenH - windowH) /2
    return guiSetPosition(center_window, x, y, false)
end

GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow (0, 0, 300, 400, "Test", false)
centerWindow (GUIEditor.window[1])
guiSetVisible (GUIEditor.window[1], false)
GUIEditor.label[1] = guiCreateLabel (20, 50, 100, 70, "Test", false,  GUIEditor.window[1])
GUIEditor.edit[1] = guiCreateEdit (20, 90, 200, 30, "", false, GUIEditor.window[1])
GUIEditor.button[1] = guiCreateButton (20, 150, 150, 40, "Button", false, GUIEditor.window[1])


function openGUI (bool)
	if (bool == true) then
		guiSetVisible (GUIEditor.window[1], true)
		showCursor (true)
	end
end

addEvent ("showGUI", true)
addEventHandler ("showGUI", root, openGUI)

 

Server

function playerJoin ()
    triggerClientEvent (source, "showGUI", source, true)
end

addEventHandler ("onPlayerJoin", root, playerJoin)

When the onPlayerJoin event is triggered, the client-side file may not be loaded yet. You can solve this on the client-side with the "onClientResourceStart" event, so the panel will open when the files are loaded.

GUIEditor = {
        window = {},
        label = {},
        edit = {},
        button = {},
}

function centerWindow (center_window)
    local screenW, screenH = guiGetScreenSize()
    local windowW, windowH = guiGetSize(center_window, false)
    local x, y = (screenW - windowW) /2,(screenH - windowH) /2
    return guiSetPosition(center_window, x, y, false)
end

GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow (0, 0, 300, 400, "Test", false)
centerWindow (GUIEditor.window[1])
guiSetVisible (GUIEditor.window[1], false)
GUIEditor.label[1] = guiCreateLabel (20, 50, 100, 70, "Test", false,  GUIEditor.window[1])
GUIEditor.edit[1] = guiCreateEdit (20, 90, 200, 30, "", false, GUIEditor.window[1])
GUIEditor.button[1] = guiCreateButton (20, 150, 150, 40, "Button", false, GUIEditor.window[1])


function openGUI(bool)
   if (bool == true) then
      guiSetVisible(GUIEditor.window[1], true)
      showCursor(true)
   end
end

addEvent ("showGUI", true)
addEventHandler ("showGUI", root, openGUI)

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,
        function()
           openGUI(true) --open panel when client side files are loaded
        end
)
