onClientClick help.

[Xeno]

I'm working with dxDraw now, and I'm trying to make it so you can press a piece of text so it triggers something else.

I neally got it to work, but I need it so it works when I click on the dxDrawText, because at the moment, the GUI appears when I click anywhere on the screen. Please help me.

dxDrawText ( "Chheseseseses", 050, screenHeight - 530, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0,0,0, 255 ), 5,  "sans" ) 

function news(clickedElement) 
if (clickedElement) then 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",rootElement, serverBoxDesign)  
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientClick", getRootElement(), news )

You are triggering the event onClientClick, if you don't insert an if statement for check what you've clicked it will show the text always, do like this:

function news(clickedElement) 
if (clickedElement == something) then 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",rootElement, serverBoxDesign) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientClick", getRootElement(), news ) 

You want that when you click on something like a text it shows another text? You must repleace "something" in the if whit the text name, and (i think) it will work

lol, you can't replace "something" with the text name. You have to replace with the variable. In this case you have to use an alternative dx text drawing system that you can set a variable to or use gui label ( or other you want ).

Well I don't want to use a label... And there is a way you can make them clickalbe, I've seen it.

The first argument of "onClientClick" is the mouse button pressed, not the world element clicked.

The first argument of "onClientClick" is the mouse button pressed, not the world element clicked.

function news(clickedElement) 
if (clickedElement == login) then 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",rootElement, serverBoxDesign) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientClick", down, news ) 

Error: Bad arguement @ "addEventHandler" [Expected Element at arguement, 2 got nil]

[Castillo]

You want to detect when click on a GUI element? if so use "onClientGUIClick".

function news(_,_,_,_,_,_,_,clickedElement) 
if (clickedElement == login) then 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",rootElement, serverBoxDesign) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientClick", root, news ) 

[Xeno]

Nope, its dxDrawText I'm trying to do.

[Castillo]

onClientClick doesn't work for DX drawing, you must make your own event.

You can use

getCursorPosition  

to compare the position of the DX drawing with the mouse.

Do you have an example I could use? ( Sorry, I just won't be able to do it.. I Just saw the Wiki lol)
