Well, that's because you used: "onResourceStart", that's a server side event.

You must add: guiSetVisible after:

GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(56, 55, 680, 284, "", false) 

Like this:

GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(56, 55, 680, 284, "", false) 
guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1], false ) 

And btw, this:

function killPlayer() 
killPlayer(source) 
end 
addEvent("killPlayer", true) 
addEventHandler("killPlayer", root, joinSAPD) 

Never call a function like a native one, unless you are going to replace it.

Hmm.. Alrighty. That Fixed A Problem, But It Wont Load The Menu When I Pickup The Disk Pickup.

also edited

addEventHandler("killPlayer", root, joinSAPD)

to

addEventHandler("killem", root, killPlayer)

[myonlake]

Using onPickupHit server-side may do some synchronization errors, experience tells, and it's a lot easier anyways.

Server-side

addEvent("killPlayer", true) 
addEventHandler("killPlayer", root, 
    function() 
        killPlayer(source) 
    end 
) 

Client-side

local disk = createPickup(1685.6552734375, 993.8076171875, 10.8203125, 3, 1277) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientPickupHit", disk, 
    function(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
        if getElementType(hitElement) == "player" and matchingDimension then 
            if not isElement(GUIEditor.window[1]) then 
                GUIEditor = { 
                    gridlist = {}, 
                    button = {}, 
                    window = {}, 
                } 
                GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(56, 55, 680, 284, "", false) 
                guiWindowSetSizable(GUIEditor.window[1], false) 
                GUIEditor.button[1] = guiCreateButton(381, 46, 271, 58, "Kill Yourself!", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
                GUIEditor.button[2] = guiCreateButton(381, 115, 271, 58, "Repair Car", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
                GUIEditor.button[3] = guiCreateButton(381, 183, 271, 58, "Spawn Car", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
                GUIEditor.gridlist[1] = guiCreateGridList(37, 50, 316, 182, false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
                guiGridListAddColumn(GUIEditor.gridlist[1], "Car NAme", 0.3) 
                guiGridListAddColumn(GUIEditor.gridlist[1], "Damage", 0.3) 
                guiGridListAddColumn(GUIEditor.gridlist[1], "Price To Repair", 0.3) 
                 
                addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor.button[1], 
                    function() 
                        triggerServerEvent("killPlayer", localPlayer) 
                        destroyElement(GUIEditor.window[1]) 
                        showCursor(false) 
                    end 
                ) 
                 
                showCursor(true) 
            else 
                guiBringToFront(GUIEditor.window[1]) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
)

That helped alot! Thanks! But, i have another problem, it didnt rechonize the GUIEditor.window[1] as anything,so i changd the names of everything, but now it isnt childern to the window. D:

[myonlake]

Have to make sure you have also changed the last argument of the GUI functions.

[damien111]

Thanks! Now, i have a problem, how can i fix it so it only pops up for the 1 player? instead of everybody

[myonlake]

It should open for one player only. It's client-side, you can't open it to all players however you wanted to.

If you mean you want it to only show to an exact player name or team, then do..

getPlayerName 
getPlayerTeam 
getTeamName 

And such.

[damien111]

Ok, it is opening for everyone but its client side. WHAT THE HELL GOING ON D: heres my script dl. , its to much code to post. http://up.ht/TWNhM8

You have to check if 'hitElement' is the localPlayer.

[damien111]

How do i do that? I looking through the code and dont see where i would put that?

addEventHandler("onClientPickupHit", disk, 
    function(hitElement, matchingDimension) 
        if ( getElementType(hitElement) == "player" and matchingDimension and hitElement == localPlayer ) then
