Problem with my GUI

[CTCCoco]

I have a little problem with the GUI. First the " player se ha conectado " doesn't appears. That means that the onClientPlayerJoin doesn't active but why?

Second the GUI doesn't appears when the player is in the " posicionjug1 ". wtf?

I have the client script in client/guibotones.lua in my resource RLC and this is my resource meta:

<meta>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<info author="Coco" type="gamemode" name="RLC" description="RLC" />
<script src="spawn.lua" />
<script src="comandos.lua" />
<script src="registrarse.lua" />
<script src="client/guibotones.lua" type="client" />
meta>

I don't receive any errors on the console and anything.

And this is the Client GUI code:

---------------------------------SCRIPT DE LOS BOTONES ( GUI ) CLIENT-SIDE
 
---------------------------------SE CREA LA VENTANA
function crearComprarCasasWindow()
for houses=0 , casasnum do
local hEntrancex = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( casasxml, "hEntradax." .. houses )

Try the /debugscript 3 and see what it says, note down the errors on here

Try the /debugscript 3 and see what it says, note down the errors on here

It says: INFO: votemanager precreateGuiElements

What is that?

THANKS for the help.

Hy CTCCoco !

maybe there are an error in the function crearComprarCasasWindow() because you can't use the xml functions on xmls files which are in the server, you must put the .xml file as client in the meta.

So all the remainder of your guibotones.lua doesn't work !

I propose to you to put this for PlayerJoin:

In your server:

function remotePlayerJoin()
outputChatBox("* " .. getPlayerName(source) .. " has joined the server")
outputDebugString("* " .. getPlayerName(source) .. " se a conectado.")
setTimer(triggerClientEvent,3000, 0, source, "crearComprarCasasWindow", getRootElement())
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), remotePlayerJoin)

Normaly it will work except the setTimer because of error in guibotones.lua !

And for your GUI I can't help you (maybe Famas knows how work xml functions )

What do you mean to XML in Client? How I can use the XML in both server side and client ?

And what do you mean saying the SetTimer is bugged?

Please help. and thanks men.

There are several problems with your code, CTCCoco.

General tips

- Try scripting in English, even if your English isn't good. Practice makes perfect anyway, and it gives us more of an idea what you're trying to do, making support easier. (currently most variable and function names are not easy to understand for anyone outside of your language)

- Indent your code properly. At the moment, your "crearComprarCasasWindow" (whatever it might mean) is an unreadable chunk of code. Put a few tabs or spaces in front of lines to make the code a lot more readable, making support yet again a lot faster

Possible issues

- Line: 5 / Where is "casasnum" defined?

- Line: 9 / Col sphere "posicionjugS1" is created, but never destroyed or used. (except for line 10) Delete the col sphere as soon as it has outlived it's use

- *** Skipping to remotePlayerJoin() due to difficulty understanding the code ***

- Line: 46 / setTimer - I don't know what you're trying to do, but you do realize that putting 0 for the 3rd argument means that it would keep running, don't you? Because right now, you're creating a new GUI every 3 seconds for every player that joined after you. Speaking of memory waste.

@Famas... eh... or his brother? : Do note that placing the event server-side will only create more hassle, bandwidth usage and error message spam (while downloading for instance) in the server console.

casasnum is defined in another server-side script and I think that I can use it in the script but I see that I can't in Client.

You mean that I will destroy the Col Sphere when it is used? posicionjugS1 is used at line 10.

I am trying to do when a player go to the enter of a House then displays a GUI to buy the house , to see information, etc

I hope you understand me and thanks for trying help me.

Sorry for my bad English.

THANKS!

Hy, CTCCoco

No your setTimer is correct but like the function crearComprarCasasWindow() doesn't work, all the rest in guibotones.lua is locked and they can't work! Do you understand ?

I never used the xml's function but I try to help you

Do you read the example and the description of XmlNodeGetAttribute on MTA Wiki =>https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/XmlNodeGetAttribute

And if you look at well you need to open the xml file and other things and In your code I don't see where you open the casas.xml and to open this file you must include this file in meta.xml. Are you agree ?

No, I think you don't need include it. I know how to use XML fuctions, the system works fine in a command but I mean that doesn't works the GUI

Thanks men.

[InDev]

Hi Gamesnert,

If I understand good you tell me that he must to comment my setTimer because the clientside is not debug and so It's spam because it's repeat every 3 second ?

And CTCCoco, If I say REGM does that say something to you ?

Sorry if I not speak English very well

Thanks men.

The GUI works with a command ? or just the xml functions ?

casasnum is defined in another server-side script and I think that I can use it in the script but I see that I can't in Client.

the server-side and client-side are separate and you must used triggerClientEvent to send variable (here casanum) to your client-side (guibotones.lua). Possible issue:

Server-side:

function enviarcasanum()
triggerClientEvent("recibircasanum", getRootElement(), casanum)
end

Client-side before "function crearComprarCasasWindow()":

addEvent( "recibircasanum", true )
function recibircasanum(casanum)
casanum = casanum
end
addEventHandler("recibircasanum", getRootElement(),recibircasanum)

that should work if your xml functions work

The Famas's brother

[InDev]

Indeed in your gui there are:

local casasxml = xmlLoadFile("casas.xml")

after

local hEntrancex = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( casasxml, "hEntradax." .. houses )
local hEntrancey = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( casasxml, "hEntraday." .. houses )
local hEntrancez = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( casasxml, "hEntradaz." .. houses )

whereas you must be placed before! Here your 3 xml functions get "hEntrada" of casaxml but casaxml isn't yet defined

I search other errors (if there is still ^^)

The Famas's brother

[CTCCoco]

what the...?! I don't see this noob problem -.- . I solve this problem and casasnum problem and I tell you what happens.

Thanks for all men.

[CTCCoco]

Doesn't work yet and i don't know what the hell is goin on.

I think the guibotones doesn't loaded because I do errors in the guibotones.lua script on purpose and the console don't say anything, and If I do it in a server-side script, the console say the problems.

What happens? guibotones.lua doesn't loaded?

my meta:

<meta>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <info author="Coco" type="gamemode" name="RLC" description="RLC" />
    <script src="spawn.lua" />

    <script src="registrarse.lua" />
    <script src="guibotones.lua" type="client" />
</meta>

Please help. Thanks for all people.

EDIT: I see that if you put type="client" ( this says that the script is client-side ) don't detect the problems.

When you're debugging script use "debugscript 3" command and you will see a debug box which tells you about problems in server-side and client-side scripts.

[InDev]

The console writes only server-side errors ! Your guibotones.lua is a client so the errors are write in clientscript.log

root: c:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\MTA\

And I send to you in a mail the guibotones.lua repaired

If not, I put it here to you and try this:

I found the problems.

The .xml don't load and the fuctions doesn't works because it's needed load the xml.

In server-side the xml load correctly.

Why?

local casasxml = xmlLoadFile("casas.xml")

the SAME works perfect in server-side

[InDev]

where you are put the casas.xml ? (give me the root directory)

EDIT: And in your guibotones.lua you must to open this file before the xmls functions like this:

for houses=0 , casasnum do
local casasxml = xmlLoadFile(":RLC/casas.xml")--It's here that the casasxml.xml must to be open !!
local hEntrancex = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( casasxml, "hEntradax." .. houses )
    ...

The Famas's brother

I put it in my RLC resource. But the code is correct and I try with :RLC/casas.xml too and doesn't work.

For my experience I can think that it some save problem, but it works perfect in server side then... wtf?

[InDev]

you try like this: xmlLoadFile(":RLC/casas.xml") ?

And I edit my precede reply. Read it and answer me please

[CTCCoco]

you try like this: xmlLoadFile(":RLC/casas.xml") ?

Yes I do it. I tell to you that I use the same on server-side in a command and all works perfect.

I don't know what to do.

Thanks men for all.

[InDev]

Your welcome ! I can't sleep if the problem aren't solved

Are you change the place of: local casasxml = xmlLoadFile(":RLC/casas.xml") like I you said ??

Here

for houses=0 , casasnum do
local casasxml = xmlLoadFile(":RLC/casas.xml")--It's here that the casasxml.xml must to be open !!

And when you enter your command, the gui works ? or not ?

Yes I put the xmlLoadFile before all I know it. The GUI works , only thing that doesn't works is the fuctions that NEED the LoadXML.

Thanks.

[InDev]

Try this:

--Put this:
local casasxml = xmlLoadFile(":RLC/casas.xml")
if casasxml then 
outputChatBox("xmlFile Loaded !")
else 
outputChatBox("xmlFile NOT Loaded !")
end 
--Before this:
for houses=0 , casasnum do

EDIT:: And tell me what appears when the gui is called (Loaded or NOT Loaded ?)

The Famas's brother

[CTCCoco]

Try this:

--Put this:
local casasxml = xmlLoadFile(":RLC/casas.xml")
if casasxml then

end 
--Before this:
for houses=0 , casasnum do

EDIT:: And tell me what appears when the gui is called (Loaded or NOT Loaded ?)

The Famas's brother

NOT Loaded. I do it before.

What a shit

Thanks men but looks impossible

EDIT: I try to create a new XML in client-side but doesn't work too. It says that the XML was created correct ( I use the if( ) and says that is correct) and don't create anything... I use the same to what I use to create the other server-side XML and works fine.

Well the xmlLoadXML doesn't work yet.

Thanks
