Spwan text problem

[xbenny2506x]

Hi!

I have a respawn after death script and wanted add a text so that the player see after the death how long is the respawn time.

But i get a error

if (zufalldeath == 1) then
local x = -2225.376953125
local y = 2333.6584472656
local z = 7.546875
 
setTimer ( spawnPlayer, 10000, 1, source, x, y, z)
 
setTimer(setPlayerSkin, 10000, 1, source, zufallskin)
 
if ( spawntext ) then
destroyElement ( spawntext )
end
local spawntext = guiCreateLabel(0.20,0.03,0.94,0.2,"Respawn in 10 Seconds",true,wnd)
guiSetFont ( dummyGUIElement, "sa-header" )
setTimer ( destroyElement, 10000, 1, spawntext, source )
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), deathHandler)

ERROR: ...r/mods/deathmatch/resourcecache/maps/playerdeath.lua:12: attempt to call global 'guiCreateLabel' (a nil value)

Can someone help me? THX

You should pay attention to functions, some are server-only others client-only. You will have to move the text stuff clientside and call it with triggerClientEvent when you spawn him. Check wiki for more info about how custom events work (addEvent).

nice big thx now work my script with triggerClientEvent and small other things (wiki search: addEvent)

I have now a other problem.

When the player die all people see the text "Respawn in 10 Seconds"

Here is my script:

server:

function deathHandler( playerSource )
local zufalldeath = math.random(1, 4)
local zufallskin = math.random(7, 288)
 
triggerClientEvent ( "onGreeting", getRootElement())
 
if (zufalldeath == 1) then
local x = -2225.376953125
local y = 2333.6584472656
local z = 7.546875
setTimer ( spawnPlayer, 10000, 1, source, x, y, z)
setTimer(setElementModel, 10000, 1, source, zufallskin)
setTimer(giveWeapon, 10000, 1, source, 33, 50 ) 
setTimer(giveWeapon, 10000, 1, source, 31, 50 ) 
setTimer(giveWeapon, 10000, 1, source, 10 )
end
 
....
 
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", getRootElement(), deathHandler)

client:

function specialEventHandler ( spawntext )
 
if ( spawntext ) then
destroyElement ( spawntext )
end
 
local spawntext = guiCreateLabel(0.35,0.40,0.94,0.2,"Respawn in 10 Seconds",true)
guiSetFont ( spawntext, "sa-header" )
guiLabelSetColor ( spawntext, 255, 234, 0 )
setTimer ( destroyElement, 10000, 1, spawntext, source )
 
end
 
addEvent( "onGreeting", true )
addEventHandler( "onGreeting", getRootElement(), specialEventHandler )

I hope someone can say me how i can make it that only the player where die see the respawn text!?

We can't see any "Respawn in 10 Seconds" text in your code, so we can't tell you what is wrong but I can tell you how to outputChatBox message that is visible only to 1 player.

You need to use the "visibleTo" parameter. Use player element to display message to that player.

While 50p has their eyes examined,

local spawntext = guiCreateLabel(0.35,0.40,0.94,0.2,"Respawn in 10 Seconds",true)

I'll point out your mistake, and it's an easy one

You can trigger client events to only trigger on specific clients - which is what you want in this case. In your Server file you have:

function deathHandler( playerSource )
local zufalldeath = math.random(1, 4)
local zufallskin = math.random(7, 288)
 
triggerClientEvent ( "onGreeting", getRootElement())
...

and you can modify that triggerClientEvent call to only trigger for the one player you want - in your case, "playerSource". here's the triggerClientEvent syntax so you can see what we're dealing with:

bool triggerClientEvent ( [element triggerFor=getRootElement()], string name, element theElement, [arguments...] )

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/index.ph ... lientEvent

so you modify your triggerClientEvent to:

triggerClientEvent ( playerSource,"onGreeting", getRootElement())    --who to trigger for, what event to trigger, who triggered it

When I read this topic it was 6:00am and I was asleep but whatever, I can see it easily

Why don't you simply use client-side event onClientPlayerWasted or onClientPedWasted? Make sure the dead person is you (getLocalPlayer()).
