Buttons...

ASiT · October 9, 2008

hey i successfully have a login screen for my script but now i want to create a window that spawns after you log in.

On this window i want to have 2 buttons that if you press one it spawns you one place and if you press the other it spawn u somewhere else ... does anyone know the code id use for this...? And since im so new do i put the code for this second code in the same .lua as the login screen ....any help would be greatly appreciated....

everything i try just doesnt work...

Dude, you don't need 2 topics about the same thing. >.>

Also, you probably need to read the basics,

http://development.mtasa.com/

http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... troduction

http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... ng_the_GUI

And for the spawn code you need spawnPlayer()

sorry about the double post ...( thought the first one was about something else that got answered didnt know i had included the same thing)

but ya another question i have my first login in window once thats dissappears and logs u in i want another window to come up but so far everything ive tried hasnt worked and results in niether of the windows showing up ....the screen just stays black (and i know its not fadecamera()

but do i just put another function CreateSelectWindow() at the bottom ...? and will that make it appear after the login...? or do i have to put something like

addeventhandler("onClientGUIClick",btnLogin,CreateLoginWindow) in...? ( <--- i think thats what its supposed to say...

any help...

When you log in using gui (I guess you send the password to server using triggerServerEvent) if the password is correct and he logged in successfully you can triggerClientEvent to tell client he logged in and do some action on client's side, in your case show another window.

Follow tutorial on wiki, it should help you.

Yes, that's they way you have to do it but also you must understand how it works, otherwise you won't know how to make something that uses triggerClientEvent/triggerServerEvent. That's the whole point in your script, you have to tell server he wants to log in (triggerServerEvent, in client-side script) and if he logged in successfully, tell the client script that he logged in and you want to show a new window (triggerClientEvent, in server-side script).

What I see is a function to create & hide a window (which is not called, unless you used triggerClientEvent to trigger SelectCreate). What exactly doesn't work? If you successfully log in the "Log in" window disappear and a new window doesn't appear?

I see you have an event "clientLoginSuccess", you can create a window in this event or call createSelectWindow() from clientLoginSuccessHandler.

ASiT · October 10, 2008

so with what ur saying to add createSelectWindow() in the login success the last 2 paragraph i guess you could call them should look like this...?

function clientLoginSuccessHandler() 
    guiSetInputEnabled(false) 
    destroyElement(wdwLogin) 
    destroyElement(lblDisplayArea) 
    wdwLogin = nil 
    newUser = nil 
    lblDisplayArea = nil 
    passwordAttempts = nil 
    localPlayer = nil 
    localPlayerName = nil 
    localRootElement = nil 
    showCursor(false) 
     
    createSelectWindow() 
end 
addEvent("clientLoginSuccess",true) 
addEventHandler("clientLoginSuccess",localRootElement,clientLoginSuccessHandler) 
  
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 Class", true) 
        
        X = 0.415 
        Y = 0.2 
        Width = 0.5 
        Height = 0.15 
        btnCops = guiCreateButton(X, Y, Width, Height, "Cops", true, wdwSelect) 
        Y = 0.5 
        btnRobs = guiCreateEdit(X, Y, Width, Height, "Robbers", true, wdwSelect) 
        
        guiSetVisible(wdwSelect, false) 
end

or do i leave the

addEvent("SelectCreate", true) 
addEventHandler("SelectCreate", getRootElement(), createSelectWindow)

in the code

50p · October 11, 2008

It should be fine without custom event because one event is triggered when you successfully log in (which is clientLoginSuccess). Remove guiSetVisible( wdwSelect, false ) from createSelectWindow function and add it somewhere else (where player is successfully spawned). Also don't hide cursor if you still need to use it (player logged in and you show new window but you hide cursor therefore he can't use the new window).

any help...?

Gamesnert · October 11, 2008

To be honest... In looking over about 6 times I didn't see what COULD be wrong... Or well, I couldn't see it for those 2 screens...

I did see this: the coordinates for the window are 0,0? In the first screenshot, it more looks like 0.25 and 0.3... Probably not related, but I can't see any other trouble in createSelectWindow()...

Remp · October 11, 2008

you made a typo here

... 
tabCops = guiCreateTab("Cops",tbpCharSelect) 
tabCivs = guiCreateTab("Civilians",tpbCharSelect) 
tabArmy = guiCreateTab("Army",tpbCharSelect) 
...

you put tpbCharSelect instead of tbpCharSelect for the second and third tabs

Gamesnert · October 11, 2008

you made a typo here
... 
tabCops = guiCreateTab("Cops",tbpCharSelect) 
tabCivs = guiCreateTab("Civilians",tpbCharSelect) 
tabArmy = guiCreateTab("Army",tpbCharSelect) 
... 
you put tpbCharSelect instead of tbpCharSelect for the second and third tabs

And if the parent isn't found, the tab will become a different window. Correct? Must be, since it was wrong for Cops and that one has an whole new window. Right?

and help....would be greatly appreciated (again )....

Lua is case-sensitive language.

showcursor is not same as showCursor.

ASiT · October 12, 2008

using the code i posted above it works great with the cursor fix but when someone else joins the server the select screen shows up for all players if they are in game or not .... whats the problem....? im guessing its something like needing to specify that only the player joining should see it but i dont know how to do that....

You first trigger Server event like this, which is right

triggerServerEvent ("checkValidAct",localPlayer,localPlayerName) --Check if they have an account to log in to...

But then you trigger it with source being root element

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

When the source is root element (not the localplayer), then the source here

  
if (tryToLog) then  
outputChatBox(welcomeMessageReturningUser,client) 
triggerClientEvent(source,"clientLoginSuccess",getRootElement()) 
else 
triggerClientEvent(source,"clientDisplayArea",getRootElement(),"Incorrect password, please try again.") 
triggerClientEvent(source,"clientWrongPassword",getRootElement()) 
end

is also root element, as the event you triggered called this function.. So it triggers this client side event for all clients. What you have to do is change

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

into

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

And that for all the triggerServerEvents that you use there.. If you want the source to be the local player

Makes more sense?

thanks worked perfectly but i have another question does anyone know how to do random events (if they have those in lua)....so i have 3 spawn points and i want the people to randomly spawn at the different spawn points....so when you choose a team everyone doesnt spawn in the exact same place... any help...?

Yes, I use this method:

spawnpoint={{0,0,3}, {500,500,30}, {-500,-500,30}} --creates table/array spawnpoint with a few spawnpoints. (between { and }, xyz) 
  
function spawnThePlayerOfWhoIDontKnowTheNameYouSee(player) 
    local spawnNo=math.random(1,#spawnpoint) -- this will draw a random ROUND number, starting at 1 and ending at how much spawnpoints the table contains. 
    local a=spawnpoint[spawnNo] -- put the chosen spawnpoint in a local variable. Makes it a bit easier  
    spawnPlayer(player,a[1],a[2],a[3]) -- spawn the player at the given spawnpoint 
end 
addCommandHandler("spawn",spawnThePlayerOfWhoIDontKnowTheNameYouSee) -- usually, I don't use command handlers in these cases

So it might still have some bugs/typo's, but this is how I do it.

You should pull the spawn points from a map file, don't specify them in lua. Use getElementsByType.

Gamesnert · October 13, 2008

Well, this was actually an example. I do have a few resources taking it from map files. It was just to show my method.

Why is it better to put it in a map file, actually?

Usually more adaptable. Not really better if you want to keep something for yourself and don't want to change it, but in examples it's always better to show the map file way I think.
