guiLabelSetColor Problem

[=FAS=Shigawire]

Hey guys,

i have a problem

the guiLabelSetColor doesn't work.

Even the wiki example gves me an error:

  
WARNING: XXX.lua: Bad 'gui-element' pointer@ guiLabelSetColor (1) 

http://development.mtasa.com/index.php?title=GuiLabelSetColor

Is this function working on your server?

IRC couldnt answer my question, too.

I have no problems using that function. Post the entire code snippet that throws the error.

I do recall an oddity when you create GUI elements before onClientResourceStart is triggered. Try to create the GUI labels inside onClientResourceStart and let me know if it makes any difference.

EEhhm, how do you mean that?

I dont use Events in the Gui part

bullets = 0 
  
local health = guiCreateLabel ( 0.35, 0.025, 0.5, 0.5, "Bullets shot: " .. bullets .." ", true )  
  
bulletshit = 0 
  
local bhit = guiCreateLabel ( 0.45, 0.025, 0.5, 0.5, "Bullets hit: " .. bulletshit .." ", true ) 
  
local hitrtio = guiCreateLabel ( 0.55, 0.025, 0.5, 0.5, "Hit Ratio:  " .. bulletshit / bullets .. " ", true ) 
  
guiLabelSetColor ( health , 0, 0, 255 ) 
guiLabelSetColor ( bhit , 0, 144, 255 ) 
guiLabelSetColor ( hitrtio , 0, 144, 255 ) 
  
  
function bulletscheck (weapon, ammo, ammoInClip, hitX, hitY, hitZ, hitElement ) 
bullets = bullets + 1 
  
guiSetText ( health, "Bullets shot: " .. bullets .. "" ) 
  
--outputChatBox ("" ..getElementType(hitElement)) 
  
 if getElementType(hitElement) == "player" then 
  
bulletshit = bulletshit + 1 
  
guiSetText ( bhit, "Bullets hit: " .. bulletshit .. "" ) 
  
end 
  
guiSetText ( hitrtio, "Hit Ratio: " .. math.floor(0.5 + (bulletshit / bullets)*100) / 100 .. " " ) 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler ("onClientPlayerWeaponFire", getLocalPlayer(), bulletscheck, guiLabelSetColor ( health , 0, 0, 255 )) 
  
  
function resetCounter () 
bullets = 0 
bulletshit = 0 
  
guiSetText ( health, "Bullets shot: " .. bullets .. "" ) 
guiSetText ( bhit, "Bullets hit: " .. bulletshit .. "" ) 
guiSetText ( hitrtio, "Hit Ratio: " .. math.floor(0.5 + (bulletshit / bullets)*100) / 100 .. " " ) 
end 
addEventHandler ("onClientPlayerSpawn", getLocalPlayer(), resetCounter)
