I found these:

https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=37586&start=60

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Call

But idk how to do it, it just dont work.

First, Add this code At Meta.xml of the resource you wanna to export it

function="xx" type="xx"/>

add function name and type : client or server

Then, Go to any script and add this code

call ( getResourceFromName ( "xx" ), "xx" ) 

add resource name and function name

Wat do i have to do to export the whole script?

[Anderl]

What do you mean by exporting the whole script?

Like putting the whole resource in userpanel with export.

[Castillo]

I think he wants to start a resource when he clicks a button, or something like that.

[Anderl]

Well, if that's what Solidsnake14 said, use startResource. If you mean like opening a GUI and from other resource with exports but still be able to have the events, etc. then just create a function that would open GUI and export it, since events and all these things are already added it will work normally.

Nah, the reource would runs all the time, i want to open that resource then i click that button.

[3NAD]

Did you mean, like bindKey, or CommandHandler But At GUI Buttons ??

[iPrestege]

i think you should to use : "executeCommandHandler"

What do you mean by "opening" the resource.

Like resource window will pop up or something like that.

[Anderl]

Create a function in that resource to open the GUI and export it.

[Sex*]

But can i make with OnClientGUIClick and ExecuteCommandHandler?

Also i want to fade in so i looked for it and found wiki page also but it didnt work. So what would be the easiest way to fade in?

[Castillo]

Depends if you are using GUI or DX, with GUI you use:

guiSetAlpha 
setTimer 

And with DX you create a variable and update it.

[Sex*]

Im using Dx, how to create variable?

[myonlake]

Variable example:

hi = "hello" 
  
wassap = "what's up" 
  
age = 23 
  
year = 1989 
  
isAlive = true 
  
isDead = false

Create a variable, like this:

alpha = 255 

And use it for your drawing, then you update the variable, and it'll update the drawing alpha since it's drawn with onClientRender.

[Sex*]

Well, thats not working:

  
function changeAlpha ( commandName, alphaAmount ) 
        alphaAmount = 255 
        guiSetAlpha ( RankingBoardDrawing, 255 ) 
setTimer ( delayedRankingBoardDrawing, 4000 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "alpha", changeAlpha ) 

[MR.S3D]

  
function changeAlpha ( commandName, alphaAmount ) 
        alphaAmount = 255 
        guiSetAlpha ( RankingBoardDrawing, 255 ) 
setTimer ( delayedRankingBoardDrawing, 4000, 1) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "alpha", changeAlpha )

Still dont work.

Well, thats not working:

  
function changeAlpha ( commandName, alphaAmount ) 
        alphaAmount = 255 
        guiSetAlpha ( RankingBoardDrawing, 255 ) 
setTimer ( delayedRankingBoardDrawing, 4000 ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "alpha", changeAlpha ) 

That's obviously wrong, it doesn't make any sense.

Well how it would make sense?
