GUI wont show

[bamby12]

i want to show a gui when a player logs in but it dosnt work, heres the code:

server:

  
addEvent("showGUI") 
function onlogin(player) 
triggerClientEvent("showGUI", player) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin",getRootElement(),onlogin) 
  

client:

  
addEvent("showGUI") 
function guishow(player) 
guiSetVisible(GUIEditor_Window[1],true) 
end 
addEventHandler("showGUI",getRootElement(),guishow)

because first argument passed by "onPlayerLogin" event is player's previous account, not the player element

player element is the source of the event.

and you're not specifying for which player the event should be triggered.

-- server 
function onlogin() 
  triggerClientEvent(source, "showGUI", source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerLogin", getRootElement(), onlogin) 

and you dont need (player) in client handler.

guiSetVisible(GUIEditor_Window[1],true) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getRootElement(),guishow)

volk-rus, he said WHEN A PLAYER LOGINS, not when a player joins the server.

use in Client side

  
function guishow() 
guiSetVisible(GUIEditor_Window[1],true) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getRootElement(),guishow) 
  

1. if you didn't notice, gui is set to show on player login, not on join.

2. your script will show the window every time ANY resource starts.

Yep, instead of getRootElement you should use resourceRoot

ok i changed what aiboforcen said and it still dont work when the player logged in

[proracer]

Any errors..? Did you try deleting 1st arg in line 3? Just leave empty bracket.

The clientside added event must be allowed to get triggered from serverside, set allowRemoteTrigger to true:

--client 
addEvent("showGUI", true) 

You dont need to add the event serverside btw, you can remove it there.

Whey works thanks SDK

agree: D just made a mistake it would be wise to do next / as do not need to use some functions not to do so, simply attach it to the Events button

1 more think i want a button to set a players team but when i click on the button it dosnt do anything and i dont get errors

heres the code:

server:

  
function chooseteam(player) 
setPlayerTeam" class="kw6">setPlayerTeam ( player, getTeamFromName("team") )--i dno why it says class = "kw6" here  
end 
addEvent("setteam",true) 
addEventHandler("setteam", resourceRoot, chooseteam) 
  

client:

  
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor_Button[1], clickbutton, false) 
function clickbutton(player) 
triggerServerEvent("setteam",getLocalPlayer()) 
guiSetVisible("GUIEditor_Window[1]", false) 
showCursor(false) 
end 
  

[SDK]

In the client file, put the addEventHandler under the function. clickbutton must first be defined before you can assign it to an event

In the server file, you're expecting a player variable, but that will just be nil. The source of your event will be the player, so use "source" instead of "player" in setPlayerTeam. Reason: the second argument in triggerServerEvent will be the source.

(that class kw6 is a bug in the forum with setPlayerTeam)

ok i put the handler into the function that opens the gui on login and now the buttons work but still dont change the players team, any more help is appreciated.
