playSound Error

[FSXTim]

Hello,

I have a problem with my script. When a player press the button XY, a song has to start, but it doesn't.

/debugscript 3 error:

... attempt to call global 'playSound' (a nil value)

client:

function startMusic1 (state) 
    local player = getLocalPlayer() 
    if state == "left" then 
        if source == GUIEditor_Button[13] then 
            triggerServerEvent("Music1", getLocalPlayer(), player)  
        end 
    end 
end  
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(), startMusic1) 

server:

function Music1 (player) 
    local name = getPlayerName(player) 
    song = playSound("everything.mp3", false) 
    setSoundVolume(song, 1) 
    outputChatBox(name.." hat den Party-Knopf gedrückt!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 255) 
end 
addEvent("Music1", true) 
addEventHandler("Music1", getRootElement(), Music1)  

Can anybody help me, please?

Nobody can help me?

Show us your meta.xml. Your must set the file (song) in this file. You did it? Something like this:

<file src="everything.mp3" /> 
<script src="server.lua" type="server" /> 
<script src="client.lua" type="client" /> 

Oh, and please: show us your directory structure. If you have something like this:

/MyGamemode/scripts/server.lua 

/MyGamemode/scripts/everything.mp3 

/MyGamemode/meta.xml 

You must set, in code, the complete structure:

playSound("scripts/everything.mp3", false) 

And remember: no double posts.

[FSXTim]

Thanks for your answer.

meta.xml

        "music\everything.mp3" /> 
    

directory:

gamemode/shop_client 
gamemode/shop_server 
gamemode/music/everything 
gamemode/meta.xml 

I will try it like this:

1.playSound("music/everything.mp3", false)

Yes FSX, is it. Try and come back to say to us. (:

[FSXTim]

Thanks for your help, sir!

I did it like this:

client:

function startMusic1 (state) 
    local player = getLocalPlayer() 
    if state == "left" then 
        if source == GUIEditor_Button[13] then 
            triggerServerEvent("Music1", getLocalPlayer(), player)  
        end 
    end 
end  
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(), startMusic1) 

server:

function Music1 (player) 
    local name = getPlayerName(player) 
    song = playSound("music/everything.mp3", false) 
    setSoundVolume(song, 1) 
    outputChatBox(name.." hat den Party-Knopf gedrückt!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 255) 
end 
addEvent("Music1", true) 
addEventHandler("Music1", getRootElement(), Music1)  

Still not working. Same error:

server_shop.lua:3: attempt to call global 'playSound' (a nil value)

The playSound() function is usable only in client-side.

Client-side

function startMusic1 (state) 
    local player = getLocalPlayer() 
    if state == "left" then 
        if source == GUIEditor_Button[13] then 
            local song = playSound("music/everything.mp3", false) 
            setSoundVolume(song, 1) 
            triggerServerEvent("Music1", getLocalPlayer(), player) 
        end 
    end 
end  
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(), startMusic1) 

Server-side

    function Music1 (player) 
        local name = getPlayerName(player) 
        outputChatBox(name.." hat den Party-Knopf gedrückt!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 255) 
    end 
    addEvent("Music1", true) 
    addEventHandler("Music1", getRootElement(), Music1)

That's wrong FSXTim, you have to trigger to the client side again.

-- client side:

function startMusic1 ( state ) 
    if ( state == "left" ) then 
        if ( source == GUIEditor_Button[13] ) then 
            triggerServerEvent ( "Music1", localPlayer ) 
        end 
    end 
end  
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(), startMusic1 ) 
  
addEvent ( "playTheSound", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "playTheSound", root, 
    function ( ) 
        song = playSound ( "music/everything.mp3", false ) 
        setSoundVolume ( song, 1 ) 
    end 
) 

-- server side:

function Music1 ( ) 
    local name = getPlayerName ( source ) 
    outputChatBox ( name.." hat den Party-Knopf gedrückt!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 255 ) 
    triggerClientEvent ( "playTheSound", root ) 
end 
addEvent ( "Music1", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "Music1", getRootElement(), Music1 ) 

[Stanley Sathler]

Yes, use the Castillo example. The mainly information is: playSound() is not usable on server-side.

[FSXTim]

Okay, I see! Thanks for everything, I will tell you, if it is working or not!

[Castillo]

Edit your post if it works.

You're welcome.

[FSXTim]

Thanks, it's working now, but still having one problem.

I created a GUI and I can see it perfectly, as you can see here:

http://s14.directupload.net/file/d/2891 ... 4_png.htm#

But my friend can't see the complete GUI, please have a look:

http://s14.directupload.net/file/d/2893 ... kv_png.htm

Can anybody test it on my server, if he has the same problem as my friend or can anybody tell me the reason for this problem?

[Castillo]

Different resolution must be the problem.

[FSXTim]

Thanks for your answer, sir!

How can I make it working for everybody?

[Smart.]

You could either make the gui in relative mode, or:

guiGetScreenSize 

[FSXTim]

    function() 
        local sWidth, sHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
        local px = sWidth/1920 
        local py = sHeight/1080 

Still having the same problem as before.

Need help, please!

I would just suggest using relative, if you use guieditor (which I assume you do) then right click -> settings -> and mark "Relative" then click save.

Or, you could make it even more simple by using: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/CenterWindow

[FSXTim]

I'm using the guieditor. But when I mark relativ, it won't relative the texts, buttons and edits, will it? (Only the window, eh?)

Greets

[Smart.]

Click in the "Default child type" as well.

[FSXTim]

Now I did it like this:

Default screen output type:

[X] Relative

[ ] Absolute

Default child output type:

[X] Relative

[ ] Absolute

Correct?

And by the way, thanks for your help, sir!

[FSXTim]

Ok, that's working, but can you please help me with teamviewer? Please, I need your help, there is still one problem.
