Need Help

Sorry, you can't,

you can only attach blips to elements that are already on the map/server.

I thought you wanted to make a blip for every vehicle that has that name, srry.

try this:

addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick"GridlOwnerCar,function(button) 
    if(button)then 
        local rowindex, columnindex = guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( GridlOwnerCar ) 
        local carname = guiGridListGetItemText ( GridlOwnerCar, rowindex, columnindex) 
        triggerServerEvent("PCar", localPlayer, carname) 
    end 
end,false) 
  
addEvent("Pincar",true) 
addEventHandler("PinCar",root,function(carname) 
    if(carname=="")then 
        for i,cars in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do 
            for c,vehicle in ipairs(getVehicleModelFromName(carname)) do 
                createBlipAttachedTo(vehicle,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,65535,client) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

This makes no-sense equal to mine. But mine isn't too bad

i tested it your code and you have some errors in your code

Can you tell me the errors please.

[drk]

Jaysds1, getVehicleFromName don't return a table. You're checking if 'carname' is ' ' and not if isn't ' ' and you're checking 'if ( button ) then' unecessarely.

[Jaysds1]

srry, about the other code, try this:

-- Client-side 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",GridlOwnerCar,function(button) 
    if(button=="left")then 
        local rowindex, columnindex = guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( GridlOwnerCar ) 
        local carname = guiGridListGetItemText ( GridlOwnerCar, rowindex, columnindex) 
        triggerServerEvent("PCar", localPlayer, carname) 
    end 
end,false) 
  
-- Server-side 
addEvent("PCar",true) 
addEventHandler("PCar",root,function(carname) 
    if(carname=="")then 
        for i,cars in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do 
            if(getVehicleName(cars)==carname)then 
                createBlipAttachedTo(cars,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,65535,client) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end)

        end 
    end 
end) 

lol

if(carname=="")then 

should be

if(carname ~= "")then 

[Jaysds1]

oh, ya, cause if the "" has nothing, then it could still go through, thanks TAPL

And "client" element is nil.

[Kenix]

Predefined variable client only in server side!

What is the difference between client and source?

[Kenix]

source used in events ( client side and server side ). client used only in server side events and

client: the client that triggered the event using triggerServerEvent. Not set if the event was not triggered from a client.

[TAPL]

source used in events ( client side and server side ). client used only in server side events and

client: the client that triggered the event using triggerServerEvent. Not set if the event was not triggered from a client.

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/AddEventHandler

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Event_system

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Client

so for example if we attach the trigger to root there will be no source and to know who was the client trigger we use client variable

addCommandHandler("name", 
function() 
    triggerServerEvent("onGreeting",root)  
end) 

addEvent("onGreeting", true) 
addEventHandler("onGreeting", root 
function() 
    outputChatBox("The client name is: "..getPlayerName(client)) 
end) 

also if we use localPlayer Instead of root the source will be the localPlayer and client will be the same as localPlayer

and here source is the same client (source == client)

so we can use source and we can use client no difference

addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",GridlOwnerCar,function(button) 
    if(button=="left")then 
        local rowindex, columnindex = guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( GridlOwnerCar ) 
        local carname = guiGridListGetItemText ( GridlOwnerCar, rowindex, columnindex) 
        triggerServerEvent("PCar", localPlayer, carname) 
    end 
end,false) 
  
addEvent("PCar",true) 
addEventHandler("PCar",root,function(carname) 
    if(carname ~= "")then 
        for i,cars in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do 
            if(getVehicleName(cars)==carname)then 
                createBlipAttachedTo(cars,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,65535,client) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end)

of course i put it.

Parts of the code is server-sided and client-sided, your going to need to add it in different files.

[sckatchof]

[Jaysds1]

So, basically you want a garage spawner?

but instead it shows the blip of where the car is?
