How local variables work on client side ?

[DarkLink]

Okay guys, I was trying to do something, but I think it doesnt work.

So I have a GUI, and in 30 seconds trigger a function to see if player clicked on some button of the GUI or NOT.

So I made this function on serverside, that will trigger after 30 seconds:

server side:

  
function doesntmatter () 
    if segundos == 0 then 
    triggerClientEvent("hadChosenTeam", getRootElement()) -- will trigger for all the clients, thats what I want. 
    end 
end 
  

on client side:

  
local clicked = false 
  
  
function chooseTeam(button,state)   -- this is the function thats is called when any button of the gui is clicked 
    clicked = true 
end 
  
  
  
addEvent("hadChosenTeam", true) 
    function inCaseNotChose() 
        if(clicked == false) then 
            outputChatBox("Working.")   --I would get this text on chat box if I didnt clicked on any button. 
     
        end 
    end  
addEvent("hadChosenTeam", getRootElement(), inCaseNotChose) 
  

So guys what is not working here?

Do you know something? I guess its about local variables, I cant use them like this, right?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I figured that I can do this with setElementData, but I wanna understand why this method of variable dont work, and if there is other method beside using memory for data. Thans alot guys!

You added 2 addEvent, the last addEvent is suppose to be

addEventHandler("eventname", RootElement, function) 

Where is the timer?

and clicked

local clicked ={"left","right"ETC.} 

if the local variable is supporting 2 thing like true or false then leave it like

local clicked

Jasd1, I don't understand what are you trying to say..... he has everything in order, and "local clicked ={"left","right"ETC.}" would be a table, not a variable.

Dark, try adding debug outputs to your script, that'll help you to find out where's the error.

LOL!! Castillo this time jay was right

yesterday I was a bit stoned lol, and was a bit confused lol.. dont know why but made an addEvent instead of an addEventHandler, that was suppose to x)

So I changed now from addEvent("hadChosenTeam", getRootElement(), inCaseNotChose) to addEventHandler("hadChosenTeam", getRootElement(), inCaseNotChose), and its working hehe.

Thanks castillo and jay

Appreciated.

Haha, my bad, I'd read "addEvent" as "addEventHandler" .
