Strange GUI-happening, my problem or MTA bug?

[Deltanic]

  
pVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) 
vehLog = {} 
if not vehLog[pVeh] then 
    logX, logY   = guiGetPosition      ( logPane, false ) 
    lodW, logH   = guiGetSize          ( logPane, false ) 
    vehLog[pVeh] = guiCreateScrollPane ( logX, logY, logW, logH, false, mainWnd.window ) 
    guiSetVisible ( vehLog[pVeh], false ) 
end 
-- logPane is a VALID gui scrollpane, with mainWnd.window as parent. 
-- mainWnd.window is a VALID gui-window ofcourse. 
  

No errors yet. Remember that pVeh is global, it's not getting changed until I get another vehicle. Whenever I use vehLog[pVeh], it will return false/nil. Making pVeh a string doesnt solve anything.

So, whatthefack is going on here? Second time I'm trying to implement a vehicle-based log now in hedit, and it still won't work goddamnit.

outputDebugString("start") 
pVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) 
vehLog = {} 
outputDebugString("if start") 
if not vehLog[pVeh] then 
    logX, logY   = guiGetPosition      ( logPane, false ) outputDebugString("getpos") 
    lodW, logH   = guiGetSize          ( logPane, false ) outputDebugString("getsize") 
    vehLog[pVeh] = guiCreateScrollPane ( logX, logY, logW, logH, false, mainWnd.window ) outputDebugString("createscroll") 
    outputDebugString(tostring(isElement(vehLog[pVeh]))) 
    guiSetVisible ( vehLog[pVeh], false ) outputDebugString("setvis") 
end 
outputDebugString("if end") 
  

i know it isnt clean code but take a check and see if it does it in order

(if start ... getpos ... getsize.. createscrolll ... true .. setvis...if end)

I see, the width of the scrollpane is nil. Obviously MTA bug, since nothing what I do solves it.

But, when I fill in the width manually, the scrollpane will be created. But the thing I want still wont work.

Doing guiSetVisible ( vehLog[pVeh], true ) later-on will return no error, but I dont see anything though.

Also, outputting tostring ( vehLog[pVeh] ) just after the scrollpane has been created will output other userdata then outputting that in another file, where I want to show the scrollpane.

E.g: create.lua outputs: "Userdata: 0005769"

show.lua outputs "Userdata: 00057B0"

So, those userdata are clearly different. The pVeh value will output everywhere the same though, so that value is not the problem.

I'm pretty sure this is a MTA bug, but I need someone to confirm this. I'm getting really stressed because of this, I just want to get it working.

Check logW variable although i suppose u have already done it

function 
pVeh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer ) 
vehLog = {} 
if not vehLog[pVeh] then 
    logX, logY   = guiGetPosition      ( logPane, false ) 
    lodW, logH   = guiGetSize          ( logPane, false ) 
    vehLog[pVeh] = guiCreateScrollPane ( logX, logY, logW, logH, false, mainWnd.window ) 
    guiSetVisible ( vehLog[pVeh], false ) 
end 
end 
-- logPane is a VALID gui scrollpane, with mainWnd.window as parent. 
-- mainWnd.window is a VALID gui-window ofcourse.

wtf is even that?

lol all he did was add function and end. -.-

[Deltanic]

He added "function block end". That newbie probably doesn't know that I'm an experienced scripter, though my signature should make that clear... I'm only posting the part people need, not the whole script. He even forgot the () part after function

[Jaysds1]

I left it like that because you could put anything there if u want.

[karlis]

no you just don't even understand the problem, but want ur post count up, face that.
