Beginner scripter

[ASiT]

hey guys,

i just started to try and get into scripting the gui and stuff for MTA and i ran into a problem ( mind you im a beginner and dont be too harsh if my script makes no sense at all)

Its supposed to spawn a window that says login and once you type everything in and push the button another window comes up and has 2 buttons saying cops or robbers and so far i only have cops ... so if you push the button it spawns you and gives you weapons but it comes up to black screen...

function CreateLoginWindow()

local X = 0.375

local Y = 0.375

local Width = 0.25

local Height = 0.25

wdwLogin = guiCreateWindow(X, Y, Width, Height, "Please Log In", true)

X = 0.0825

Y = 0.2

Width = 0.25

Height = 0.25

guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Username", true, wdwLogin)

Y = 0.5

guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Password", true, wdwLogin)

X = 0.415

Y = 0.2

Width = 0.5

Height = 0.15

edtUser = guiCreateEdit(X, Y, Width, Height, "", true, wdwLogin)

Y = 0.5

edtPass = guiCreateEdit(X, Y, Width, Height, "", true, wdwLogin)

guiEditSetMaxLength(edtUser, 50)

guiEditSetMaxLength(edtPass, 50)

X = 0.415

Y = 0.7

Width = 0.25

Height = 0.2

btnLogin = guiCreateButton(X, Y, Width, Height, "Log In", true, wdwLogin)

guiSetVisible(wdwLogin, false)

end

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),

function CreateSelectWindow()

local X = 0.375

local Y = 0.375

local Width = 0.25

local Height = 0.25

wdwSelect = guiCreateWindow(X, Y, Width, Height, "Please Select A Character Class", true)

X = 0.415

Y = 0.2

Width = 0.5

Height = 0.25

btnCops = guiCreateButton(X, Y, Width, Height, "Cops", true, wdwSelect)

Y = 0.5

btnRobs = guiCreateButton(X, Y, Width, Height, "Robbers", true, wdwSelect)

X = 0.415

Y = 0.7

Width = 0.25

Height = 0.2

btnLogin = guiCreateButton(X, Y, Width, Height, "Log In", true, wdwSelect)

guiSetVisible(wdwSelect, false)

end

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),

function createTeamsOnStart ()

teamCivilians = createTeam ( "Civilians", 194, 194, 194 )

teamCops = createTeam ( "LSPD", 101, 101, 215 )

end

addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), createTeamsOnStart )

function ()

CreateLoginWindow()

addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", btnLogin, clientSubmitLogin, false)

outputChatBox("Welcome to My MTA DM Server, please log in. ")

if (wdwLogin ~= nil) then

guiSetVisible(wdwLogin, true)

end

showCursor(true)

guiSetInputEnabled(true)

end

)

function clientSubmitLogin(button)

if button == "left" then

triggerServerEvent("SubmitLogin", getRootElement(), guiGetText(edtUser), guiGetText(edtPass))

guiSetInputEnabled(false)

guiSetVisible(wdwLogin, false)

showCursor(true)

CreateSelectWindow()

addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", btnCops, assignCops, false)

outputChatBox("Thankyou for selecting a class,Have fun!... ")

if (wdwSelect ~= nil) then

guiSetVisible(wdwSelect, true)

end

end

end

function joinHandler(username, password)

outputChatBox("Welcome to My Server", client)

end

end

addEvent("SubmitLogin", true)

addEventHandler("SubmitLogin", getRootElement(), joinHandler)

function assigncops()

spawnPlayer ( player, 1552.4109, -1675.0485, 16.1953 )

giveWeapon ( player, 31, 10000 )

giveWeapon ( player, 24, 10000 )

giveWeapon ( player, 25, 10000 )

giveWeapon ( player, 29, 10000 )

giveWeapon ( player, 17, 10000 )

giveWeapon ( player, 42, 10000 )

setPlayerArmor ( player, 0 )

setPlayerSkin ( player, 280 )

setPlayerNametagColor ( player, 101, 101, 215 )

end

If the screen is black, you need to use fadeCamera().

Also if you use [ code] tags for Lua codes here in the forum, it gets easier to read.

Also, logging in as administrator and setting debug script to level 3 helps tracing errors yourself.

but for the fadecamera thing the gui doesnt even show up when i start the server and fadecamera isnt that used when you spawn and stuff im saying the gui doesnt even come up ...
