GUI problem..

[Suerte]

I decided to learn how to make a GUI today and it's coming along nicely. Just one thing, though.. I can't link up a fuction with a button on the GUI.

Here is my code:

function createWindow () 
    outputChatBox("The buy menu is open! Make sure nobody attacks you.",255,0,255,255) 
    mygui = guiCreateWindow(0.08, 0.18, 0.2, 0.3, "BUY MENU", true) 
    showCursor(true) 
    local X = 0.375 
    local Y = 0.375 
    local Width = 0.25 
    local Height = 0.25 
    buym4 = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1, "M4", true, mygui) 
    buyak = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, "AK47", true, mygui) 
    buyde = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.3, 0.3, 0.1, "Deagle", true, mygui) 
    buypi = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.4, 0.3, 0.1, "Pistol", true, mygui) 
    buysi = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.5, 0.3, 0.1, "Silenced", true, mygui) 
    buymp = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.6, 0.3, 0.1, "Mp5", true, mygui) 
    buysn = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.7, 0.3, 0.1, "Sniper", true, mygui) 
    btnExit = guiCreateButton( 0.05, 0.8, 0.9, 0.2, "Exit", true, mygui ) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.12, 0.5, 0.1, "$2000 for 50 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.22, 0.5, 0.1, "$2000 for 40 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.32, 0.5, 0.1, "$750 for 90 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.42, 0.5, 0.1, "$750 for 140 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.52, 0.5, 0.1, "$750 for 120 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.62, 0.5, 0.1, "$1000 for 90 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.72, 0.5, 0.1, "$1000 for 100 bullets", true, mygui) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler( "gui", createWindow ) 
  
function hide (button) 
    outputChatBox("No") 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", btnExit, hide, false ) 

I'm trying to make it so that, when you click "Exit", the event handler will make it go to function 'hide'.

Move the event handler into the create window function after you create the exit button.

function hide () 
    guiSetVisible ( mygui, false ) 
    showCursor( false ) 
end 
  
function createWindow () 
    outputChatBox("The buy menu is open! Make sure nobody attacks you.",255,0,255,255) 
    mygui = guiCreateWindow(0.08, 0.18, 0.2, 0.3, "BUY MENU", true) 
    showCursor(true) 
    local X = 0.375 
    local Y = 0.375 
    local Width = 0.25 
    local Height = 0.25 
    buym4 = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1, "M4", true, mygui) 
    buyak = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, "AK47", true, mygui) 
    buyde = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.3, 0.3, 0.1, "Deagle", true, mygui) 
    buypi = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.4, 0.3, 0.1, "Pistol", true, mygui) 
    buysi = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.5, 0.3, 0.1, "Silenced", true, mygui) 
    buymp = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.6, 0.3, 0.1, "Mp5", true, mygui) 
    buysn = guiCreateButton(0.05, 0.7, 0.3, 0.1, "Sniper", true, mygui) 
    btnExit = guiCreateButton( 0.05, 0.8, 0.9, 0.2, "Exit", true, mygui ) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.12, 0.5, 0.1, "$2000 for 50 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.22, 0.5, 0.1, "$2000 for 40 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.32, 0.5, 0.1, "$750 for 90 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.42, 0.5, 0.1, "$750 for 140 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.52, 0.5, 0.1, "$750 for 120 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.62, 0.5, 0.1, "$1000 for 90 bullets", true, mygui) 
    guiCreateLabel(0.4,0.72, 0.5, 0.1, "$1000 for 100 bullets", true, mygui) 
    addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", btnExit, hide ) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler( "gui", createWindow ) 
  
  

That should be it. If it dont work. Just say

Yes! You were both right. Thankyou very much.

By the way, how do I use giveWeapon in a client LUA? It doesn't seem to work I can't find another command anywhere on the wiki

edit: might have a solution!

There is no such function client-side.

Server-only function

BTW, if you want to create GUI easier then try my GUI lib created specially for you! You will find it easy. You won't have to use addEventHandler but :AddOnClick.

Your code would look like this:

function hide( ) 
    myWnd:Visible( false ); 
    showCursor( false ); 
end 
  
function createWindow( ) 
    showCursor( true ); 
    myWnd = Window:Create( .08, .18, .2, .3, "BUY MENU", true ); 
    buym4 = myWnd:AddButton( .05, .1, .3, .1, "M4", true ); 
    buyak = myWnd:AddButton( .05, .2, .3, .1, "AK47", true ); 
    buyde = myWnd:AddButton( .05, .3, .3, .1, "Deagle", true ); 
    buypi = myWnd:AddButton( .05, .4, .3, .1, "Pistol", true ); 
    buysi = myWnd:AddButton( .05, .5, .3, .1, "Silenced", true ); 
    buymp = myWnd:AddButton( .05, .6, .3, .1, "Mp5", true ); 
    buysn = myWnd:AddButton( .05, .7, .3, .1, "Sniper", true ); 
  
    exitBtn = myWnd:AddButton( .05, .8, .3, .1, "Exit", true ); 
    exitBtn:AddOnClick( hide ); 
     
    -- size for AddLabel() is not required because size will be as big as text size 
    myWnd:AddLabel( .4, .12, "$2000 for 50 bullets", true ); 
    myWnd:AddLabel( .4, .22, "$2000 for 40 bullets", true ); 
    myWnd:AddLabel( .4, .32, "$750 for 90 bullets", true ); 
    myWnd:AddLabel( .4, .42, "$750 for 140 bullets", true ); 
    myWnd:AddLabel( .4, .52, "$750 for 120 bullets", true ); 
    myWnd:AddLabel( .4, .62, "$1000 for 90 bullets", true ); 
    myWnd:AddLabel( .4, .72, "$1000 for 100 bullets", true ); 
end 
addCommandHandler( "gui", createWindow ) 

I'd recommend binding key for showing hiding the GUI and create the GUI when resource starts.

You havent set the propogated argument in addEventHandler to "false". This means that the event is propogated down from its parents when fired. The implications of this are that clicking the window rather than the button will also trigger this handler.

That's why use my GUI classes where you don't have to worry about addEventHandler and all its parameters, just AddOnClick( funcName ).

I aint a god at lua so i try my best and i know how annoying it is when you dont know how to do a script and i enjoy helping people that need the help. Thats why i joined the forums... MTA is also a good comunity.
