Images of ghostmode

[Memory]

Hello,

I have the code

addEvent("onMapStarting") 
addEventHandler("onMapStarting", getRootElement(), 
function(mapInfo) 
    if string.find(mapInfo.name, "[DM]", 1, true) or mapInfo.modename == "Sprint" then 
    gmon() 
        else 
    gmoff() 
    end 
end) 
  
function gmon(player) 
        for theKey,thePlayer in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            setElementData( thePlayer, "overrideCollide.uniqueblah", 0, false ) 
            outputChatBox("GM enabled",thePlayer,186,212,71,true) 
        end 
end 
  
function gmoff(player) 
        for theKey,thePlayer in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            setElementData(thePlayer, "overrideCollide.uniqueblah", nil, false ) 
            outputChatBox("GM disabled",thePlayer,255,255,255,true) 
        end 
end 

I want add image if gm enabled and if disabled.

I tryed create client, but code doesn't work. What could be the problem?

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
function gmimgs(mapInfo) 
    if string.find(mapInfo.name, "[DM]", 1, true) or mapInfo.modename == "Sprint" then 
    gmonimg() 
        else 
    gmoffimg() 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onMapStarting") 
addEventHandler("onMapStarting", getRootElement(), gmimgs) 
  
function gmonimg() 
guiCreateStaticImage ( screenWidth/2-65, 0, 165, 65, "gm_on.png", false, nil) 
        end 
end 
  
function gmoffimg() 
guiCreateStaticImage(screenWidth/2-65, 0, 165, 65, "gm_off.png", false, nil) 
        end 
end

1 function must have only 1 end.

Anyway doesn't work

I think I need to use"triggerServerEvent", but doesn't work.

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
function gmonimg() 
triggerServerEvent("gmon",getRootElement()) 
guiCreateStaticImage(screenWidth/2-65, 0, 165, 65, "gm.png", false, nil) 
end

just for something simple like 1 small image, u could use element data, even more so since u set it in ur function.

u have: 'setElementData( thePlayer, "overrideCollide.uniqueblah", 0, false )'

if u use 'true' (or leave blank) its synched clientside.

then in onClientRender u can check if the elementData exists or == 0, and if so, show the image.

u have all the code and lines needed, so i think u can manage without the trigger for just 1 thing.

Please, can you to show example?

[Scooby]

sure, u already have ur functions server side for ghostmode on/off which uses element data, but it needs changing to synch client side, just remove the 'false' ( or if this is done this way for some unseen reason u can add another element data line)

anyway, u have the code needed server side, just edit the 'setElementData' lines in the on/off functions

function gmon(player) 
        for theKey,thePlayer in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            setElementData( thePlayer, "overrideCollide.uniqueblah", 0 ) 
            outputChatBox("GM enabled",thePlayer,186,212,71,true) 
        end 
end 
function gmoff(player) 
        for theKey,thePlayer in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            setElementData(thePlayer, "overrideCollide.uniqueblah", nil ) 
            outputChatBox("GM disabled",thePlayer,255,255,255,true) 
        end 
end 

then clientside:

this will check element data and if it exists it will show the image:

local screenWidth,screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
function showGhostModeImage() 
  local ghostModeOn = getElementData(getLocalPlayer(),"overrideCollide.uniqueblah") 
  if ghostModeOn then 
    dxDrawImage (screenWidth/2 - 65, 0, 165,  65, "gm_on.png", 0, 0, -120 ) 
  end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, showGhostModeImage) 

i havent tested it so let me know if u still need more help.
