Arrest event?

[jkub]

I am working on a real simple arrest script for the police team. anyway my problem is I would not like it to say "you will be realesed in 15 seconds" in the chatbox, i would like it to say that thru an image I made, like a gui static image that pops up and says it instead. but In order to do that I would have to make an "onPlayerArrest" event to trigger that image to pop up on the screen of the criminal. I have no idea how to define the custom event...

function arrest ( thePlayer ) 
    setElementPosition ( thePlayer, 198.8221, 162.0566, 1003.0299 ) 
    setElementInterior ( thePlayer, 3 ) 
        toggleAllControls ( thePlayer, false ) --disable the criminals controls ( basicly freezing him ) 
        takeAllWeapons ( thePlayer ) --remove all of the players weapons 
            setTimer ( toggleAllControls, 15000, 1, thePlayer, true ) 
            setTimer ( setElementPosition, 15000, 1, thePlayer, 2335.9614, 2454.5168, 14.9687 ) 
            setTimer ( setElementInterior, 15000, 1, thePlayer, 0 ) 
                outputChatBox ( "You will be released in 15 seconds", thePlayer, 0, 100, 255 ) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "arrestme", arrest ) 
  
addEvent ( "onPlayerArrest" ) 
function setPlayerArrest ( thePlayer ) 
    if isControlEnabled ( thePlayer, "forwards" ) then 
         triggerEvent ( "onPlayerArrest", thePlayer ) 
    end 
end 
  
  
function releasemessage ( thePlayer )    
    guiCreateStaticImage( 20, 200, 100, 100, "image.png", false ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerArrest", getRootElement(), releasemessage )

ServerSide:

function arrest ( thePlayer ) 
    setElementPosition ( thePlayer, 198.8221, 162.0566, 1003.0299 ) 
    setElementInterior ( thePlayer, 3 ) 
        toggleAllControls ( thePlayer, false ) --disable the criminals controls ( basicly freezing him ) 
        takeAllWeapons ( thePlayer ) --remove all of the players weapons 
            setTimer ( toggleAllControls, 15000, 1, thePlayer, true ) 
            setTimer ( setElementPosition, 15000, 1, thePlayer, 2335.9614, 2454.5168, 14.9687 ) 
            setTimer ( setElementInterior, 15000, 1, thePlayer, 0 ) 
                outputChatBox ( "You will be released in 15 seconds", thePlayer, 0, 100, 255 ) 
                triggerClientEvent(thePlayer,"onPlayerArrest",thePlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "arrestme", arrest ) 

ClientSide:

  
local msgPng = nil 
function releasemessage ( )    
    msgPng = guiCreateStaticImage( 20, 200, 100, 100, "image.png", false ) 
    setTimer(hideRMsg,7000,1) 
end 
addEvent ( "onPlayerArrest" ,true) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerArrest", getRootElement(), releasemessage ) 
  
function hideRMsg() 
if(msgPng) then destroyElement(msgPng) end 
end
