Bad arguement on givePlayerMoney [Solved]

[unknooooown]

Hi.

Wauw.. My 2'nd topic of the day.. Hope I dont make a habit out of this!

I have been trying to solve a problem for about 5 hours now. I have asked a few people that have some Lua experience, but I still have no idea how to fix the problem. I have used Google and MTA.Wiki as much as I can, so I have to turn to you guys once again!

My problem:

I got a script where I want to give the player a certain amount of money, which is defined in a guiCreateEdit box. The function on the serverside, gets the amount of money the player shall get, from the clientside guiCreateEdit. ( Hope this makes sense)

But when I run the script I keep getting the error:

WARNING: Bad arguement @ 'givePlayerMoney'

I'm sure its something very basic that I am missing. I am still new at this and learning!

I have outlined the areas in the scripts that needs to be looked at..

Client:

I hope someone can help me solve the problem, and teach me something too!

Ty Snake. I have also tried that earlier today, and it gives me the following error:

WARNING: RL\playerSettings.lua:34: Bad argument @ 'givePlayerMoney'

There is something on line 34 thats totally messed up, but I just cant see what it is.

[Castillo]

Have you copied my latest code? you can see that I changed something else.

Thank you very much Snake!

Could you please tell me exactly what I did wrong and what you edited?

I notice the changes in the function, but other than that?

Again thank you!

[Castillo]

Well, your problem was a really small one, you we'rent passing thePlayer element at all, so I just changed thePlayer to source, source = the player who triggered the event.
