Gate scripting.

[Eelke]

I made a gate in a51 with keypad from this tut: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Scripting_the_GUI_-_Tutorial_2#Creating_the_GUI

But the buttons dont work...

this is my script.lua:

function createKeypad() 
    -- get the screen width and height 
    local sWidth, sHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
    -- create the window, using some maths to find the centre of the screen 
    local Width,Height = 142,276 
    local X = (sWidth/2) - (Width/2) 
    local Y = (sHeight/2) - (Height/2) 
    keypadWindow = guiCreateWindow(X,Y,Width,Height,"Keypad",false) 
  
    -- don't allow people to resize the keypad 
    guiWindowSetSizable(keypadWindow,false) 
  
    -- create buttons labeled 0-9, "*", "#", "Enter" and "C" (clear) 
    keypadButton1 = guiCreateButton(13,68,37,36,"1",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton2 = guiCreateButton(53,68,37,36,"2",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton3 = guiCreateButton(93,68,37,36,"3",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton4 = guiCreateButton(13,108,37,36,"4",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton5 = guiCreateButton(53,108,37,36,"5",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton6 = guiCreateButton(93,108,37,36,"6",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton7 = guiCreateButton(13,148,37,36,"7",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton8 = guiCreateButton(53,148,37,36,"8",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton9 = guiCreateButton(93,148,37,36,"9",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButtonAsterix = guiCreateButton(13,188,37,36,"*",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButton0 = guiCreateButton(53,188,37,36,"0",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButtonHash = guiCreateButton(93,188,37,36,"#",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButtonExit = guiCreateButton(13,228,37,36,"Exit",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButtonEnter = guiCreateButton(53,228,37,36,"Enter",false,keypadWindow) 
    keypadButtonClear = guiCreateButton(93,228,37,36,"Clear",false,keypadWindow) 
  
    -- create a gridlist to act as a backdrop on the kaypad display 
    keypadGridlistDisplay = guiCreateGridList(13,25,117,33,false,keypadWindow) 
    guiGridListSetSelectionMode(keypadGridlistDisplay,2) 
    guiSetAlpha(keypadGridlistDisplay,0.6) 
    -- create a label so we can write text on the keypad display 
    keypadLabelDisplay = guiCreateLabel(14,26,115,30,"Enter Keycode.",false,keypadWindow) 
    guiLabelSetColor(keypadLabelDisplay,255,000,000) 
    guiLabelSetVerticalAlign(keypadLabelDisplay,"center") 
    guiLabelSetHorizontalAlign(keypadLabelDisplay,"center",false) 
  
    guiSetVisible(keypadWindow,false) 
end 
  
-- create the GUI when the resource starts 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),createKeypad) 
function updateDisplay(text) 
    -- if we are passing some text 
    if text then 
        -- if its a digit or * or #, then append it to the end of the display 
        if tonumber(text) or text == "*" or text == "#" then 
            guiSetText(keypadLabelDisplay,guiGetText(keypadLabelDisplay) .. text) 
        -- otherwise replace the display with the new text 
        else 
            guiSetText(keypadLabelDisplay,text) 
        end  
    -- if we pass nil, clear the display entirely 
    else 
        guiSetText(keypadLabelDisplay,"") 
    end 
end 
local keypadCodes = { 
    ["a51MainGateKeypadCode"] = "4455*#" 
} 
addEvent("verifyKeypadCode",true) 
addEventHandler("verifyKeypadCode",root,function(code,keypadID) 
    if code then 
        -- using the table we created earlier, check if the code supplied is the same as the code for this gate 
        if code == keypadCodes[keypadID] then 
            -- if it is, tell the client that it was successful 
            triggerClientEvent(client,"onKeypadVerificationSuccessful",client,keypadID) 
        else 
            -- if it is not, tell the client that it was not successful 
            triggerClientEvent(client,"onKeypadVerificationFailed",client,keypadID)

        local gate = getElementByID(keypadID) 
  
        -- if we found the object 
        if gate then 
            -- get the new position (as we defined in the map file)

check in meta.xml, GUI elements are only client side, so should appear type="client"
