[Help] Problem with triggering event from GUI Button

[masch1na]

Hello there. This is my first GUI script and I basically predicted that it won't work at all.

What I want to do:

Create two buttons after you log in saying 'Crips' and 'Bloods' - Done

Create two different teams - Crips and Bloods - Failed

After you click one of the buttons, it will spawn you at the position with certain skin and team, according to the button you have clicked on - Failed

I start the server and load up my script, the window with buttons is there, however nothing happens after I click the buttons.

I know the problem is in my serverside lua script, however I've got no clue how to fix it.

My clientside script with the GUI - http://pastebin.com/Etwg8cUJ

My serverside script - http://pastebin.com/BZPfqgpr

There should be something with spawmTeam = createTeam, according to MTA Wiki, but I'm really lost at this moment. And yes, I'm working on this script for five hours non-stop, and tried to look on several internet pages, haven't found anything though.

Thank you in advance.

First, you spelt button wrong:

... 
if [b]buttom[/b] == 'left' and state == 'up' then 
... 

If you look at the wiki page for triggerServerEvent you will see the first argument is supposed to be a string with the name of a function, not a function itself

Your onClientGUIClick event handles for your buttons should be inside your createTeamWindow function. Any code outside a function is run as soon as the resource starts, meaning at the moment you are trying to add event handlers to buttons that don't actually exist (yet)

You are checking for a 'spawnButtonBloods', which doesnt exist:

... 
elseif source == spawnButtonBloods then 
... 

You will want to use fadeCamera on the player when they spawn or their screen will be black

All of these things can be found in a matter of minutes with some simple debugging

After fixing the first one the others would show up in debugscript as errors which makes it even easier

Formatting your code properly also makes it much easier to see whats going on and where the problems are:

... 
function movePlayer(button,state) 
    if button == 'left' and state == 'up' then 
        if source == teamButtonCrips then 
            triggerServerEvent('movePlayer', getLocalPlayer(), 2642.4440917969, -2004.3111572266, 13.5546875, 0, 106, 0, 0) 
            outputChatBox('If you Crip throw it up!') 
            ...

actually it's a event name (as string), not function.

Thank you all, I made this working properly, and it's even better now, I made pictures instead of classic GUI buttons and added music when you connect to the server. I'm currently working on garg ares in radar, after player enters area it will blip, after some time it will change color according to players team. I'm done with radar and blipping, I guess the hardest part is just in front of me, it's a pity that community isn't working so I could work with something.

Thank you anyway!
