GUI not hiding

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

I have a client-side script that brings up a GUI to select a spawn point and show a MOTD. After that player clicks a button, the server spawns the player, then triggers the client event to clean up the GUI and such. Everything is working other that the GUI refusing to hide. Any ideas?

  
function initiateSpawn() --after player login , this is called 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), spawnTitle) --add the MOTD 
    createTeleportWindow() -- add the teleport menu 
end 
addEvent("startSpawn", true) -- event that is called by the login 
addEventHandler("startSpawn", getLocalPlayer(), initiateSpawn) 
  
function createTeleportWindow() -- create the spawn menu 
    selectMenu = guiCreateWindow(0, 0.75, 1, 0.25, "Select a City to start!", true) 
    buttonLS = guiCreateButton(0.125, 0.25, 0.25, 0.5, "Los Santos", true, selectMenu) 
    buttonSF = guiCreateButton(0.375, 0.25, 0.25, 0.5, "San Fierro", true, selectMenu) 
    buttonLV = guiCreateButton(0.625, 0.25, 0.25, 0.5, "Las Venturas", true, selectMenu) 
    addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, handleSpawn) 
    showCursor(true) 
end 
  
function handleSpawn(button,state) --handler that is called by the spawn menu 
    if button == "left" and state == "up" then 
        if source == buttonLS then 
            removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), spawnTitle) 
            guiSetVisible(selectMenu, false) 
            triggerServerEvent( "spawnMe", getLocalPlayer(), 1) 
        elseif source == buttonSF then 
            removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), spawnTitle) 
            guiSetVisible(selectMenu, false) 
            triggerServerEvent( "spawnMe", getLocalPlayer(), 2) 
        elseif source == buttonLV then 
            removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), spawnTitle) 
            guiSetVisible(selectMenu, false) 
            triggerServerEvent( "spawnMe", getLocalPlayer(), 3) 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function spawnTitle() -- a MOTD using dxDraw (this works fine), based on wiki example 
    local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
    local MOTDText = [[

Try that, i'm not sure if will work.

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

Did not work. Oddly enough, I tried on a different computer and the GUI hides just fine. This is confusing.

Try this, I believe the reason behind the script not working is because you're calling a function which is below the eventHandler, try this, I am pretty sure it'll work.

function spawnTitle() -- a MOTD using dxDraw (this works fine), based on wiki example 
    local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
    local MOTDText = [[ 
    Welcome to ------! 
    
    Latest news:

    - Fixed the webadmin stuff for easy administration (by me <!-- s:P --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\":P\" title=\"Razz\" /><!-- s:P --> ).

Sorry, I already fixed the issue. I went through all the resource's scripts and balanced the showCursor and setGuiInputEnabled lines. Thanks for the help anyway!
