nevermind, solved it but how can I check if a player has a GUI window open? like

if (guiGetVisible(root)) then 

[Mega9]

 if guiGetVisible (yourgui, true) then 

[Andreas.]

 if guiGetVisible (yourgui, true) then 

I want to to check if a GUI window is open(all) not only a special window, get me?

I think using "guiRoot" would work.

nope, already tried wrong argument.

function isAnyGUIWindowOpen() 
    local gui = getElementsByType('gui-window') -- get all created GUI windows 
    for _, v in ipairs(gui) do 
        if(guiGetVisible(v)) then 
            return true 
        end 
    end 
    return false 
end

function isAnyGUIOpen() 
    local gui = getElementsByType('gui-window') 
    for _, v in ipairs(gui) do 
        if(guiGetVisible(v)) then 
            return true 
        end 
    end 
    return false 
end 

You should break loop after return true, it's not necessary to continue.

addEvent("checkIFGUIOpen", true) 
function checkIFGUIOpen() 
    if (isAnyGUIOpen) then 
        outputChatBox("GUI open") 
    else 
        outputChatBox("false") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("checkIFGUIOpen", root, checkIFGUIOpen) 
  
function isAnyGUIOpen() 
    local gui = getElementsByType('gui-window') 
    for _, v in ipairs(gui) do 
        if(guiGetVisible(v)) then 
            return true 
        end 
    end 
    return false 
end 

it outputs GUI open even thought I don't have any open, or does it count a cursor as one?

gui-window isn't an element type??

gui-window is an element.

ok but why wont this work:

addEvent("checkIFGUIOpen", true) 
function checkIFGUIOpen() 
    if (isAnyGUIOpen) then 
        outputChatBox("GUI open") 
    else 
        outputChatBox("false") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("checkIFGUIOpen", root, checkIFGUIOpen) 
  
function isAnyGUIOpen() 
    local gui = getElementsByType('gui-window') 
    for _, v in ipairs(gui) do 
        if(guiGetVisible(v)) then 
            return true 
        end 
    end 
    return false 
end 

it outputs GUI open even thought I don't have any open, or does it count a cursor as one?

My function works fine.

addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', getResourceRootElement(), 
    function() 
        setTimer( 
            function() 
                exports.GUI:show('welcome') -- this is my function for showing GUI 
            end, 5000, 1 
        ) 
        bindKey("F1", "down",  
            function() 
                if(isAnyGUIOpen()) then 
                    outputChatBox("Open") 
                else 
                    outputChatBox("Close") 
                end 
            end) 
    end 
) 
  
function isAnyGUIOpen() 
    local gui = getElementsByType('gui-window') 
        for _, v in ipairs(gui) do 
            if(guiGetVisible(v)) then 
                return true 
            end 
        end 
    return false 
end 

I pressed F1 twice.

For the first time it output close, after 5 seconds (when the GUI window appears) - Open.
