Passing elements to server from client

Fabio(GNR) · January 2, 2011

So i created a GUI, script and everything that i think will work but i can't find a good way to pass the "client" element

Client:

function showgui () 
weapwindow = guiCreateWindow(307,127,480,516,"Weapons Menu",false) 
BuyAK = guiCreateButton(95,76,117,59,"Ak47 - 500$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyM4 = guiCreateButton(96,154,116,57,"M4 - 600$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyMP5 = guiCreateButton(97,302,116,57,"MP5 - 400$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyUZI = guiCreateButton(96,227,116,57,"UZI - 350$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyShotgun = guiCreateButton(278,300,117,59,"Shotgun - 400$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyComShot = guiCreateButton(278,227,117,59,"Combat Shotgun - 450$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyDeagle = guiCreateButton(277,76,117,59,"Deagle - 200$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyPistol = guiCreateButton(277,152,117,59,"Pistol - 150$",false,weapwindow) 
CloseButton = guiCreateButton(180,375,108,41,"Close",false,weapwindow) 
Text_Memo = guiCreateMemo(97,435,260,45,"You can buy weapons here for in DM.",false,weapwindow) 
guiMemoSetReadOnly(Text_Memo,true) 
guiSetVisible ( weapwindow, true ) 
showCursor(true) 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", BuyAK, getAK, false) 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", CloseButton, hidegui, false) 
end 
  
function hidegui() 
if guiGetVisible ( weapwindow ) then 
                guiSetVisible ( weapwindow, false )          
                showCursor( false ) 
     end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "weapons", showgui ) 
  
  
function getAK ( playerSource ) 
local money = getPlayerMoney ( client ) 
    if (money > 500) then    
    outputChatBox("You don't have enough cash", client,230,0,0) 
    triggerServerEvent( "playerwantsAK", getLocalPlayer(), client) 
    else 
    outputChatBox("You don't have enough cash.", client,230,0,0) 
    end 
    end

Server:

addEvent("playerwantsAK",true) 
addEventHandler("playerwantsAK",getRootElement(), 
function (client) 
if getElementData( client, "hasAK") == true then 
giveWeaponAmmo(client, 30, 450) 
outputChatBox("You got ammo for: AK",source,0,230,0) 
else 
givetheAK = giveWeapon(client, 30, 400, true) 
if givetheAk == true then 
setElementData( client, "hasAK", true) 
outputChatBox("You now have a: AK",source,0,230,0) 
else 
outputChatBox("failed to give AK",source,0,230,0) 
   end 
  end 
 end 
)

why don't you just use giveWeapon for everything? it gives the ammo too.

function showgui () 
weapwindow = guiCreateWindow(307,127,480,516,"Weapons Menu",false) 
BuyAK = guiCreateButton(95,76,117,59,"Ak47 - 500$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyM4 = guiCreateButton(96,154,116,57,"M4 - 600$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyMP5 = guiCreateButton(97,302,116,57,"MP5 - 400$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyUZI = guiCreateButton(96,227,116,57,"UZI - 350$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyShotgun = guiCreateButton(278,300,117,59,"Shotgun - 400$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyComShot = guiCreateButton(278,227,117,59,"Combat Shotgun - 450$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyDeagle = guiCreateButton(277,76,117,59,"Deagle - 200$",false,weapwindow) 
BuyPistol = guiCreateButton(277,152,117,59,"Pistol - 150$",false,weapwindow) 
CloseButton = guiCreateButton(180,375,108,41,"Close",false,weapwindow) 
Text_Memo = guiCreateMemo(97,435,260,45,"You can buy weapons here for in DM.",false,weapwindow) 
guiMemoSetReadOnly(Text_Memo,true) 
guiSetVisible ( weapwindow, true ) 
showCursor(true) 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", BuyAK, getAK, false) 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", CloseButton, hidegui, false) 
end 
  
function hidegui() 
if guiGetVisible ( weapwindow ) then 
                guiSetVisible ( weapwindow, false )         
                showCursor( false ) 
     end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "weapons", showgui ) 
  
function getAK ( playerSource ) 
local money = getPlayerMoney ( getLocalPlayer() ) 
    if (money > 500) then   
    triggerServerEvent( "playerwantsAK", getLocalPlayer(), getLocalPlayer()) 
    else 
    outputChatBox("You don't have enough cash.", 230,0,0) 
    end 
end

addEvent("playerwantsAK",true) 
addEventHandler("playerwantsAK",getRootElement(), 
function (client) 
giveTheAK = giveWeapon(client, 30, 400, true) 
if giveTheAK then 
outputChatBox("You now have a: AK",source,0,230,0) 
else 
outputChatBox("failed to give AK",source,0,230,0) 
  end 
 end 
)

but this doesnt fix anything for passing the element right?? Thanks tough

Castillo · January 3, 2011

passing what element?

jkub · January 3, 2011

If you want to pass an element from client to server, an ideal way would be to use triggerServerEvent.

The first 3 arguments for triggerServerEvent I think is

1. elements to trigger for

2. name of event to pass (this is a string value)

3. source of the event

The above are the 3 required arguments. You can supply extra values after those. This is where you will pass your element.

Example. triggerServerEvent ( getLocalPlayer(), "nameOfYourEvent", getLocalPlayer(), elementToPass )

After that you do addEvent ( "nameOfEvent", true ) to a server side script so it can communicate with your client.

triggerServerEvent ( getLocalPlayer(), "nameOfYourEvent", getLocalPlayer(), elementToPass )

the first getLocalPlayer() in client side is not needed if i'm right (at least i never use it)

Fabio(GNR) · January 3, 2011

triggerServerEvent ( getLocalPlayer(), "nameOfYourEvent", getLocalPlayer(), elementToPass )
the first getLocalPlayer() in client side is not needed if i'm right (at least i never use it)

I actually already tried this multiple times but i cant get it to work, how to "use" the element serverside after?

EDIT: btw, a player element
