Problems

[JR10]

No problem.

[Jaysds1]

I want to know how to show the amount of players on a gui,

but the

getPlayerCount 

is Server-side.

this is what I have.

Client-side

  
players_on = guiCreateLabel(243,372,16,22,"0",false,rules) 
  
  
addEvent("players",true) 
addEventHandler("players",getRootElement(), 
function(count) 
    guiSetText(player_on, count) 
end) 
  

Server-side

  
local count = getPlayerCount 
triggerClientEvent("players",getRootElement(),count) 
  

If you don't get a reply by me, sorry my internet is going to be down about 1-3 days!

--client side:

players_on = guiCreateLabel(243,372,16,22,"0",false,rules) 
  
addEvent("players",true) 
addEventHandler("players",root, 
function(count) 
    guiSetText(player_on, tostring(count)) 
end) 

--server side:

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",root, 
function () 
local count = getPlayerCount() 
triggerClientEvent("players",getRootElement(),count) 
end)

it doesn't work!

Edit:

When someone joins, it's suppose to trigger the event and and show the amount of people/players online.

[Castillo]

Copy the server side part again, you could have did what I changed to do what you want.

[Jaysds1]

that's what i did, but it still shows 0 when i'm the only person online

[JR10]

try this

--client side 
addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, 
function() 
players_on = guiCreateLabel(243,372,16,22,"0",false,rules) 
triggerServerEvent('onDownloadingResourceFinish', root) 
end 
) 
  
addEvent("players",true) 
addEventHandler("players",root, 
function(count) 
    guiSetText(player_on, tostring(count)) 
end) 
  
--server side 
addEvent('onDownloadingResourceFinish', true) 
addEventHandler('onDownloadingResourceFinish', root, 
function() 
local count = getPlayerCount() 
triggerClientEvent("players",getRootElement(),count) 
end 
)

I create client side function :

  
getPlayerCount = function()  
return #getElementsByType('player')   
end       
  

use it (tested).

[Jaysds1]

JR10, this is part of the gui me and u were working on at the top!

And volk-rus, that doesn't work!

and yours too JR10.

EDIT:

Do you want me to upload the whole code?

[JR10]

here:

--client side 
addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, 
function() 
players_on = guiCreateLabel(243,372,16,22,"0",false,rules) 
triggerServerEvent('onDownloadingResourceFinish', root) 
end 
) 
  
addEvent("players",true) 
addEventHandler("players",root, 
function(count) 
    guiSetText(players_on, tostring(count)) 
end) 
  
--server side 
addEvent('onDownloadingResourceFinish', true) 
addEventHandler('onDownloadingResourceFinish', root, 
function() 
local count = getPlayerCount() 
triggerClientEvent("players",getRootElement(),count) 
end 
) 

[Jaysds1]

thanks JR10.

it worked

now, How do i show how much Moderators or Admin are online?

[Castillo]

I think this could help you: https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ls&id=1029

[Jaysds1]

In the resource, the Admins online shows the player name, I want mine to show how much admins is online,

but thanks anyways.

[Castillo]

That's easily changeable, you just have to think for a while, and not come here and ask without even try.

[Jaysds1]

lol, ok, I'll think first

[Kenix]

Jaysds1,oh ... You can use my function example :

getPlayerCount = function()  
return #getElementsByType('player')  
end  
addCommandHandler('getCount',function()  
outputChatBox(getPlayerCount())  
end)   

in client side

[Jaysds1]

Volk-rus, I we're done with that now.

I just need help with showing the amount of admins or moderators on a gui.

thank u though

[JR10]

local admins = {} 
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType('player')) do 
--if isPlayerAdmin then check if the player is admin 
table.insert(admins, v) 
--end 
end 
triggerClientEvent('admins', root, #admins) 

and the client event is the same guiSetText or something.

[Jaysds1]

so this is the same thing as the players online function but just change the server-side function?

[JR10]

Well, yeah it's the same client side but change it server side like mine.

[Jaysds1]

the debugscript says that the client side:

<name> or '...' expected near ' # '. 

This is my code,

Client-side:

  
  
 addEvent("admins",true) 
 addEventHandler("admins", root, 
 function(#admins) 
    guiSetText(admins_on, tostring(#admin)) 
 end) 
  
 addEvent("mods",true) 
 addEventHandler("mods", root, 
 function(#mods) 
    guiSetText(mods_on, tostring(#mods)) 
 end) 
  

I used the code you gave me.

[JR10]

Remove that # client side but keep it server side.

[Jaysds1]

It doesn't show that 1 admin is online.

[JR10]

Did you edit the server?

and show me the full code now.

[Jaysds1]

Server-side

  
local admins = {} 
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType('player')) do 
--if isPlayerAdmin then check if the player is admin 
table.insert(admins, v) 
--end 
end 
triggerClientEvent('admins', root, #admins) 
  
local mods = {} 
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType('player')) do 
--if isPlayerAdmin then check if the player is admin 
table.insert(mods, v) 
--end 
end 
triggerClientEvent('mods', root, #mods) 
  

Client-side

  
 addEvent("admins",true) 
 addEventHandler("admins", root, 
 function(admins) 
    guiSetText(admins_on, tostring(#admin)) 
 end) 
  
 addEvent("mods",true) 
 addEventHandler("mods", root, 
 function(mods) 
    guiSetText(mods_on, tostring(#mods)) 
 end)
