GUI Help

[Baseplate]

Well I have created a Ped and here is my ped code

ped1 = createPed (280, 1546, -1680.55, 13.56) --Police NPC 
setPedRotation ( ped1, 90 ) 
setElementFrozen ( ped1, true ) 

now, i have a GUI, how can I make it show up when i click on that NPC with the cursor??

Use onClientClick (see the last param for detecting when the ped was clicked).

[Castillo]

You can use onElementClicked as well.

Thanks, I didn't really understand how to use it, so would you like please to explain more?

[Castillo]

addEventHandler ( "onElementClicked", ped1, 
    function ( ) 
        outputChatBox ( "Clicked ped1!" ) 
    end 
)

You're welcome.

got this error,

ERROR: wip\script.lua:9: attempt to call global 'guiCreateWindow' (a nil value)

[Castillo]

I'm sure that your script is set as server side, GUI is client side only.

[Baseplate]

yea, i forgot about it lolz, but still it's not working lol, when i click on the ped nothing shows up and no errors are on there

EDIT: Code

ped1 = createPed (280, 1546, -1680.55, 13.56) --Police NPC 
setElementData(ped1,"message","Police, click on NPC to get job") 
setPedRotation ( ped1, 90 ) 
setElementFrozen ( ped1, true ) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onElementClicked", ped1, 
 function ( ) 
jobPanel = guiCreateWindow(259,170,515,408,"Police",false) 
acceptButton = guiCreateButton(93,360,119,39,"Accept",false,jobPanel) 
declineButton = guiCreateButton(258,360,123,39,"Decline",false,jobPanel) 
descLabel = guiCreateLabel(21,44,90,16,"Job Description",false,jobPanel) 
descMemo = guiCreateMemo(25,78,478,273,"",false,jobPanel) 
guiMemoSetReadOnly(descMemo,true) 
    end 
)

onElementClicked -> server side event.

[Baseplate]

alright, still the GUI showing up when i start the resouce...any ideas? and be patient with me lolz, i'm just slow

[Castillo]

Hide it with: guiSetVisible

[Baseplate]

but still when i click on the Ped the GUI isn't showing loolz

[Castillo]

Post your entire script.

[Baseplate]

Server:

ped1 = createPed (280, 1546, -1680.55, 13.56) --Police NPC 
setElementData(ped1,"message","Police, click on NPC to get job") 
setPedRotation ( ped1, 90 ) 
setElementFrozen ( ped1, true ) 
exports [ "extra_health" ]:setElementExtraHealth(ped1, 50000000) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onElementClicked", ped1, 
 function ( ) 
     end 
) 
  

Client

function changeVisibility ( ) 
        guiSetVisible (policeWindow,true) 
end 
policeWindow = guiCreateWindow(259,170,515,408,"Police",true) 
acceptButton = guiCreateButton(93,360,119,39,"Accept",false,policeWindow) 
declineButton = guiCreateButton(258,360,123,39,"Decline",false,policeWindow) 
descLabel = guiCreateLabel(21,44,90,16,"Job Description",false,policeWindow) 
descMemo = guiCreateMemo(25,78,478,273,"",false,policeWindow) 
guiMemoSetReadOnly(descMemo,true) 
  

[Castillo]

When are you executing: "changeVisibility" function?

[Baseplate]

yeah?? i do?

[Castillo]

You must trigger the event to the player that clicked the element using: triggerClientEvent and add the event handler client side with: addEvent + addEventHandler.

[TheIceman1]

Try this:

Server:

ped1 = createPed (280, 1546, -1680.55, 13.56) --Police NPC 
setElementData(ped1,"message","Police, click on NPC to get job") 
setPedRotation ( ped1, 90 ) 
setElementFrozen ( ped1, true ) 
exports [ "extra_health" ]:setElementExtraHealth(ped1, 50000000) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onElementClicked", ped1, 
 function ( ) 
triggerClientEvent ( source, "changeVisibility",  source ) 
     end 
) 
  

Client

policeWindow = guiCreateWindow(259,170,515,408,"Police",true) 
guiSetVisible ( policeWindow, false ) 
acceptButton = guiCreateButton(93,360,119,39,"Accept",false,policeWindow) 
declineButton = guiCreateButton(258,360,123,39,"Decline",false,policeWindow) 
descLabel = guiCreateLabel(21,44,90,16,"Job Description",false,policeWindow) 
descMemo = guiCreateMemo(25,78,478,273,"",false,policeWindow) 
guiMemoSetReadOnly(descMemo,true) 
  
function changeVisibility ( ) 
        guiSetVisible (policeWindow,true) 
        showCursor ( true ) 
end 
addEvent ( "changeVisibility", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "changeVisibility", root, changeVisibility )

EDIT: Your code isn't working IceMan but i solved it thanks guys

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

@TheIceman: 'source' of onElementClicked is the element clicked, not who clicked it.
