Post your code, we can't help you if you don't show us how does your script work.

ok

cside

  
local playerMoney = getPlayerMoney(source) 
        Cashlbl = guiCreateLabel(12,54,203,20,"Cash : ~{ " .. playerMoney .. " }~",false,Tab1) 
guiLabelSetColor(Cashlbl,255,255,255) 
guiLabelSetVerticalAlign(Cashlbl,"top") 
guiLabelSetHorizontalAlign(Cashlbl,"left",false) 
  

i just did that to show the money amount

edit :

if i buy flip or repair from the shop tab

i can see the value of the money

[UAEpro]

where you got that "source" from?

source = getLocalPlayer()

as it was discussed here a million times already: dont use source for anything you can think of, it causes confusion.

source is a hidden variable that contains source of the event, passed to handler function.

even if you do something like «source = getLocalPlayer()» in the start of your script, in your handler function (and i bet this code runs in some event handler) source will still be the source of the event in that function. because your global source gets replaced with source local to the function.

Actually, variables like 'source' are globals in Lua, so if you did source = getLocalPlayer() at the top of your script, that variable would get overwritten by the source variable the first time an event it triggered.

problem fixed by small trick ^^
