Problem with 'guiSetVisible()'

[FSXTim]

Hello,

I have a problem with my script.

i = number of players

An example: There are 3 players on the server, than is i = 3. If I type "test", only one of the 3 images is invisible, but I want, that all 3 images are invisible.

images = guiCreateStaticImage(650,30 - 15 + 15 * i,18,16, "rank/rank.png", false, gImage["playerList"]) 
  
function iFalse() 
    guiSetVisible(images, false) 
end 
addCommandHandler("test", iFalse) 

Is there a function, to make all the images of a GUI invisible?

guiSetVisible(images, false)

guiSetVisible(images, false) 

My mistake, I wrote it incorrectly, but I have the same in my script, it doesn't work.

Is there a function, to make all the images of a GUI invisible?

I want to make all images invisible, but at the moment only one image is invisible.

for i, playerName in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
images[i] = guiCreateStaticImage(650,30 - 15 + 15 * i,18,16, "rank/rank.png", false, gImage["playerList"]) 
end 
  
function iFalse() 
    for i = 1, getPlayerCount() do 
    guiSetVisible(images[i], false) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("test", iFalse) 
  
local players = 0 
function getPlayerCount() 
    for i, playerName in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
        players = players + 1 
    end 
    return players 
    setTimer( function() players = 0 end , 100, 1 ) 
end 

You mean this ?

function getPlayerCount ( ) 
    return #getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
end 

That's a lot easier.

Thank you, but now I have another problem.

Error: attempt to index global 'images' (a nil value) (line 2)

for i, index in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
    images[i] = guiCreateStaticImage(650,30 - 15 + 15 * i,18,16, "rank/rank.png", false, gImage["playerList"]) 
end 
     
function iFalse() 
    for i = 1, getPlayerCount() do 
        guiSetVisible(images[i], false) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("iFalse", true) 
addEventHandler("iFalse", getRootElement(), iFalse) 
  
function getPlayerCount()  
    return #getElementsByType("player") 
end

You must define the "images" table:

images = { } 

On top of the script.
