spawnPlayer function issue

[Solstice.]

So I'm basically working on a log-in screen from scratch and got stuck at spawning the player after getting the username and password etc. checked with MySQL. The problem is when I trigger the submitlogin function the text as defined to be output in the chatbox appears although the player refuses to spawn with the camera shifting to it.

What am I doing wrong in this? The issue lies with the spawnPlayer and setCameraTarget line. Script editor doesn't provide me any error lines.

function submitlogin () 
    if source == login_button then 
        outputChatBox ( "HELLO") 
        spawnPlayer (localPlayer, 2143.7648925781, 2132.8686523438, 10.671875, 0, 0, 1) 
        setCameraTarget (localPlayer) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(), submitlogin, true)

spawnPlayer is a server side-only function, you must use: triggerServerEvent to trigger a server event, then spawn him server side.

Wouldn't setElementPosition do the same thing?

No, is not the same thing.

Also, I suggest putting the last argument of the onClientGUIClick event to 'false' instead of 'true'. If it's true, it will basically check for any click actions taken towards the whole window elements. Putting it to 'false' will only trigger your function from the element you defined.

Thank you! Hadn't thought of that yet. It seems to work. Much appreciated!

You're welcome.
