GUI, Window questions

[xbenny2506x]

I have make with the "Guieditor" a nice menu

But now i need help, i have the code for the menu:

GUIEditor_Window = {} 
  
GUIEditor_Grid = {} 
  
GUIEditor_Window[1] = guiCreateWindow(509,297,437,286,"Teleport Menu",false) 
  
  
GUIEditor_Grid[1] = guiCreateGridList(0.0503,0.1678,0.4096,0.7378,true,GUIEditor_Window[1]) 
  
guiGridListSetSelectionMode(GUIEditor_Grid[1],2) 
  
for i = 1, 2 do 
     
guiGridListAddRow(GUIEditor_Grid[1]) 
  
end 
  
guiGridListAddColumn(GUIEditor_Grid[1],"Jumps",0.2) 
  
  
GUIEditor_Grid[2] = guiCreateGridList(0.5217,0.1713,0.4096,0.7378,true,GUIEditor_Window[1]) 
  
guiGridListSetSelectionMode(GUIEditor_Grid[2],2) 
  
for i = 1, 2 do 
     
guiGridListAddRow(GUIEditor_Grid[2]) 
  
end 
  
guiGridListAddColumn(GUIEditor_Grid[2],"Others",0.2) 

I work hard on a nice stunt server, i have a lot nice maps, many teleport points so i have create this menu.

So that the player see all teleport points and when he click on it, he teleport to this point.

For that i have a very nice script that work only with commands in the chat, but i have so many that i need a menu.

Here is the teleport script atm:

function hjwarp (player) 
    if isPlayerInVehicle(player) then -- If the player is in a vehicle... 
        local vehicle=getPlayerOccupiedVehicle(player) -- Obtain the vehicle the player is in 
        if getVehicleController(vehicle)==player then -- If the player is the driver... 
            setElementPosition (vehicle , 886.24, 2479.17, 258.32 ) -- Warp the vehicle 
            outputChatBox ( "You're warped to High Jump hj!", player, 0, 255, 0 ) 
        end 
    else -- If the player isn't in a vehicle... 
        setElementPosition (player , 886.24, 2479.17, 258.32 ) -- Warp the player 
        outputChatBox ( "You're warped to High Jump hj!", player, 0, 255, 0 ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "hj", hjwarp ) 

A menu is better and easier as all the time the /commands...

With F1 the ülayer can start the menu... I dont know how i can do this all Its the last thing for my server since many days i read and read but i need now help with this last thing for my server!

I hope somone can help me with the menu 1000000 THX

First thing you need to know is that GUI is client-side and you need to set players'/vehicles' position server-side. So, you need to tell the server you want to teleport player to different position. You should start with a few buttons, and than try GridList, because GridList requires more skill than simple button.

So try this:

(client-side)

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource( ) ), 
    function( ) 
        wnd = guiCreateWindow( 509,297,437,286,"Teleport Menu",false ); 
        location1 = guiCreateButton( 10, 20, 100, 19, "Location 1", false, wnd ); 
        addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", location1, teleportTo, false ); 
        location2 = guiCreateButton( 10, 40, 100, 19, "Location 2", false, wnd ); 
        addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", location1, teleportTo, false ); 
    end 
) 
function teleportTo( ) 
    -- here you will send text from button to the server, 
    -- so you know which location you want to spawn 
    triggerServerEvent( "YOUR_CUSTOM_EVENT", getLocalPlayer( ), guiGetText( source ) ); 
end 

(server-side)

LOCATIONS = { }; 
-- Add your locations here, 
-- text between [ and ] MUST be the same as on the buttons 
-- because client will send text from the buttons: 
LOCATIONS[ "Location 1" ] = { 886.24, 2479.17, 258.32 }; 
LOCATIONS[ "Location 2" ] = { 886.24, 2479.17, 258.32 }; 
  
addEvent( "YOUR_CUSTOM_EVENT", true ); 
addEventHandler( "YOUR_CUSTOM_EVENT", getRootElement( ), 
    function( locationName ) 
        if LOCATIONS[ locationName ] then 
            local veh = getPlayerOccupiedVehicle( client ); 
            if client == getVehicleOccupant( veh ) then 
                setElementPosition( veh, unpack( LOCATIONS[ locationName ] ) ); 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 

This was written in the browser, not tested, so it MAY NOT work.

            -- because you use the same coords for player or vehicle and you use one of them, you can try with the line above... 
            if ( ( veh ) and ( client == getVehicleOccupant( veh ) ) then

    -- so you know which location you want to spawn 
    triggerServerEvent( "YOUR_CUSTOM_EVENT", getLocalPlayer( ), guiGetText( source ) ); 
end 

If it still doesn't work, try to fix it yourself. Just try to understand what "warning" and "error" messages tell you and fix it.

BIG BIG BIG THX!!!

I had a little error but i fix it!

My last question is, when i start the menu, how i start the mouse cursor so that the people can use the button?

BIG BIG THX for the help!!!!!

[DakiLLa]

you can put this in 'onClientResourceStart' event:

bindKey( "lalt", "down", 
  function () 
    showCursor( not isCursorShowing() ) 
  end 
) 

when you ingame, press left alt to show cursor and press left alt again to hide cursor

[50p]

You should paste this: showCursor( not isCursorShowing() ) in the F1 bind function, so when you press F1 to show the window, showCursor at the same time (just like console works).

so when you press F1 to show the window, showCursor at the same time (just like console works).

ah, ye, true, would be better...

[xbenny2506x]

Now i have a other problem... I have some DM areas and i want that the player cant teleport with a vehicle in the DM Teleport points.

Can me someone say how i can do this?

Client:

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource( ) ),
function( )
       wnd = guiCreateWindow( 311,101,1044,804,"Teleport Menu",false );
 
 
....
 
       location9 = guiCreateButton( 370, 170, 140, 30, "Halfpipe", false, wnd );
addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", location9, teleportTo, false );
 
       location6 = guiCreateButton( 370, 210, 140, 30, "Looping", false, wnd );
addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", location6, teleportTo, false );
 
       location11 = guiCreateButton( 370, 250, 140, 30, "DM Test 1", false, wnd );
addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", location11, teleportTo, false );
 
       location13 = guiCreateButton( 370, 350, 140, 30, "DM Test 2", false, wnd );
addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", location13, teleportTo, false );
 
 
guiSetVisible( wnd, false ) -- hide the window when resource started and created the window
bindKey( "F1", "down", function( )
-- bind the key F1, show/hide window when it's pressed:
if wnd then guiSetVisible( wnd, not guiGetVisible( wnd ) ) end
end )
end
)
function teleportTo( )
-- here you will send text from button to the server,
-- so you know which location you want to spawn
triggerServerEvent( "YOUR_CUSTOM_EVENT", getLocalPlayer( ), guiGetText( source ) );
end
 
bindKey( "F1", "down",
function ()
showCursor( not isCursorShowing() )
end
)

Server:

LOCATIONS = { };
-- Add your locations here,
-- text between [ and ] MUST be the same as on the buttons
-- because client will send text from the buttons:
LOCATIONS[ "Looping" ] = { 1696.9108886719, -1257.9813232422, 362.45672607422 };

removePlayerFromVehicle is not bad... But the vehicle is the then in the DM zone, that is not so good

And now i have 2 problems first the vehicle not teleport in the DM zone and i have a DM zone in a house, but the teleport point in the house not working. The player fall down in the middle of nowhere

Now i need really help PLZ!!!!

[eAi]

I'd suggest storing teleport points in map files - that's the point of map files - storing positions.

[xbenny2506x]

This script from 50p is very very nice only i have this 2 problems... I need so a nice Teleport menu for my server...

I have many nice teleport places and nice maps, DM areas... and more.

And this teleport menu is perfect for my server. So i hope 50p and help me there too.

And all others can see this here too, this menu is perfect for a stunt server!

[50p]

You must first understand how scripts work and how to use functions, xbenny2506x. From what I see you haven't changed the script too much and therefore haven't learnt anything at all.

I replied to your PM and you have the same answer here because that's what you need... removePlayerFromVehicle or removePedFromVehicle (for nightly builds).

[xbenny2506x]

I have understand your script to 80%...

For the vehicle teleport problem i found a way.

And for the teleport in interior i have found getElementInterior and setElementInterior.

It was not easy really not easy but now i check from where comes the player interior 1 2 3 ... and set him then back to 0 so that he can play normal with ">=" or back to 1 2 3... and many other checks

Perfect is my script not lol I am sure it gives a easier way, i have seen many same things like in PHP, but is a long time ago that i have work with PHP...
