Also, blawee:

triggerClientEvent 

Why Client i'm confused now :@

I know right? I don't get it either. Just try the script you've got now, with my corrections and see if it works.

[Castillo]

-- client side:

addCommandHandler("test", 
function (_,text) 
triggerServerEvent("test",localPlayer,text) 
end) 
  
addEvent("returnTest",true) 
addEventHandler("returnTest",root, 
function (text) 
     outputChatBox(tostring(text)) 
end)  

-- server side:

addEvent("test",true) 
addEventHandler("test",root, 
function (text) 
     triggerClientEvent(source,"returnTest",source,text) 
end) 

[Charlie_Jefferson]

So you want him to use triggerClientEvent so he can display the IP in the server-side lua? Why would he do that? I'm pretty sure that he wants to display the IP in a label.

[Castillo]

Dude, you still don't get me, triggerClientEvent is used to SEND INFORMATION TO THE CLIENT SIDE NOT THE SERVER SIDE.

[Charlie_Jefferson]

I get what you mean, but I'm pretty sure your wrong. Well, I'll just wait for Blaawee's response, to see if it worked.

P.S. I know your the advanced scripter and I'm the noob one, but still, I'll sustain my opinion.

[Blaawee]

Client Side :

 ip1 = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.62,0.94,0.92,"your ip : ",true,tab1) 
      guiLabelSetColor (ip1,255,255,0,220) 
      guiSetFont(ip1,"default-bold-small") 
      triggerServerEvent("ip", getLocalPlayer()) 
   
  ping1 = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.55,0.94,0.92,"your ping : "..tostring(getPlayerPing(localPlayer)),true,tab1) 
      guiLabelSetColor (ping1,255,255,0,220) 
      guiSetFont(ping1,"default-bold-small") 
   
  theSerial = getPlayerSerial( thePlayer ) 
  serial1 = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.68,0.94,0.92,"your serial : "..tostring(getPlayerSerial()),true,tab1) 
      guiLabelSetColor (serial1,255,255,0,220) 
      guiSetFont(serial1,"default-bold-small")   
          name1 = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.82,0.94,0.92," username : ",true,tab1) 
      guiLabelSetColor (name1,0,255,0,220) 
      guiSetFont(name1,"default-bold-small") 
  
      theTeam = getPlayerTeam( localPlayer ) 
      if theTeam then 
          teamName = getTeamName(theTeam) 
      else 
          teamName = "N/A" 
       end 
 yourteam = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.88,0.94,0.92,"yourTeam :"..tostring(teamName),true,tab1) 
 guiLabelSetColor (yourteam,0,255,0,220) 
 guiSetFont(yourteam,"default-bold-small") 

Server Side:

function ip1( thePlayer )   
 pIP = getPlayerIP(thePlayer) 
   end 
 addEvent("ip") 
 addEventHandler("ip", root, ip1) 

I edit it *

Can you post exactly what he has to do in your opinion?

[Charlie_Jefferson]

Can you post exactly what he has to do in your opinion?

Well, in my noob opinion, he has to write exactly what he wrote above your post.

He made a label, he made the server-side script, which gets the IP of the player, and he triggers the IP get function inside the label, so it displays the IP. That seems pretty logic for me. Not sure if it's correct, but it's pretty logic for me.

@Blaawee

Try the script you just posted and tell us if it works.

[Castillo]

Pretty logic?

triggerServerEvent("ip", getPlayerIP())

That's HIGHLY wrong, getPlayerIP is only server side, triggers doesn't work like this!

[Charlie_Jefferson]

Uh. I told him to replace that with this:

triggerServerEvent("ip", getLocalPlayer())

[Castillo]

But... after that what? do you think triggerServerEvent does magic? because that's pretty much what I get.

After triggerServerEvent, you get the IP in the server side, and then what? acording to your "logic" the rest is done by magic.

[Charlie_Jefferson]

I've read it up on the wiki, you were right, indeed. Sorry for the trouble and waste of time caused. I'm still learning, that isn't an excuse though. Sorry again.

[Castillo]

Finally you get me, is ok, I know it's hard as I was a newbie before .

Now, back on topic.

-- client side:

ip1 = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.62,0.94,0.92,"your ip : ",true,tab1) 
      guiLabelSetColor (ip1,255,255,0,220) 
      guiSetFont(ip1,"default-bold-small") 
  
  ping1 = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.55,0.94,0.92,"your ping : "..tostring(getPlayerPing(localPlayer)),true,tab1) 
      guiLabelSetColor (ping1,255,255,0,220) 
      guiSetFont(ping1,"default-bold-small") 
  
  theSerial = getPlayerSerial( thePlayer ) 
  serial1 = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.68,0.94,0.92,"your serial : "..tostring(getPlayerSerial()),true,tab1) 
      guiLabelSetColor (serial1,255,255,0,220) 
      guiSetFont(serial1,"default-bold-small")   
          name1 = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.82,0.94,0.92," username : ",true,tab1) 
      guiLabelSetColor (name1,0,255,0,220) 
      guiSetFont(name1,"default-bold-small") 
  
      theTeam = getPlayerTeam( localPlayer ) 
      if theTeam then 
          teamName = getTeamName(theTeam) 
      else 
          teamName = "N/A" 
       end 
 yourteam = guiCreateLabel(0.02,0.88,0.94,0.92,"yourTeam :"..tostring(teamName),true,tab1) 
 guiLabelSetColor (yourteam,0,255,0,220) 
 guiSetFont(yourteam,"default-bold-small") 
  
triggerServerEvent("getIP", getLocalPlayer()) 
  
addEvent("returnIP",true) 
addEventHandler("returnIP",root, 
function (IP) 
   guiSetText(ip1, "your ip: ".. tostring(IP)) 
end) 

-- server side:

addEvent("getIP",true) 
addEventHandler("getIP",root, 
function () 
    triggerClientEvent(source,"returnIP",source,getPlayerIP(source)) 
end) 

This has to work.

NOTICE: You must add this resource to the acl.xml, "Admin" group.

[Blaawee]

Now i got it :@

thx Solidsnake

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

[Blaawee]

i got another qustion can i draw dxdrawtxt on only admin head ?

[Charlie_Jefferson]

i got another qustion can i draw dxdrawtxt on only admin head ?

That is possible, but not sure how to integrate it, since we have to use isObjectInACLGroup(server only) and dxDrawText is client-only. I'll leave it to Castillo.

Edit:

function adminTag(thePlayer) 
  
   pname = getPlayerName(thePlayer) 
       if getElementType(thePlayer) == "remote admin"  then 
          tagText = dxDrawText(pname, x, y) 
       end 
       attatchElement(tagText, thePlayer) 
end 
  
function render() 
  
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",rootElement, adminTag) 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",resourceRoot, render) 

x = the absolute X coordinate of the top left corner of the text

y = the absolute Y coordinate of the top left corner of the text

If remote admin doesn't work, simply try replacing it with admin. Not sure if it works. Try testing it.

[Castillo]

DX drawing doesn't return anything, is not a element as it's drawn every frame, it doesn't work that way.

[Charlie_Jefferson]

Oh. Hm. Well how do I attach it then?

[BinSlayer1]

well thePlayer = nil because onClientRender has no parameters

and that's not the proper way of checking if someone is an admin, not mentioning you shouldn't check if someone is an admin every single frame..

All in all, this kind of script is something that is very hard to achieve for someone who doesn't know much about scripting

@-=I Blaawee I=- : I suggest you try to do easier things so you can learn more

I know it's hard to achieve. I knew that, but I thought it can be done with my script. Seems not.

[Blaawee]

soildsnake i realy want to learn let's do it

what if i put local screen size like [voice]

and put the shadow
