Hi, i am working on a PM system GUI and all, I got it down, I am confused on the playerlist, i have them on there, i have it so it updates when a player changed their name or quits or joins etc.

I got it so when I double click a name a PM window pops up and the title at the top says "PMing : thePlayersName" anyways I have that part down no problem, but how can I make it so the window only pops up when one of the items (players) are clicked. For example if I click the bottom of the gridlist where there are no objects filled, the PM window pops up "PMing: " <-- i dont want it to do that, i only want it to pop up when the items are clicked.

  
addEventHandler( "onClientGUIDoubleClick", playerlist, msgwino, false ) 
function msgwino () 
    local playerName = guiGridListGetItemText ( playerlist, guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( playerlist ), 1 ) 
    msgwin = guiCreateWindow(889, 491, 342, 298, "PM with: " ..playerName, false) 
    guiWindowSetSizable(msgwin, false) 
    chatmemo = guiCreateMemo(14, 45, 312, 206, "", false, msgwin) 
    guiMemoSetReadOnly(chatmemo, true) 
    sendpm = guiCreateEdit(14, 261, 227, 26, "", false, msgwin) 
    guiSetProperty(sendpm, "NormalTextColour", "FF7F7F7F") 
    sendbut = guiCreateButton(248, 260, 78, 27, "Send", false, msgwin) 
    close = guiCreateButton(314, 23, 18, 18, "X", false, msgwin) 
end 
 

That is what I have so far, i know the 'playerlist' is basically saying that if I click anywere on the gridlist it pops up, but i want it only when i double click the items.

also this makes me wonder, what if there are multiple players in that server and i double click all there names and all the PM window pops up, are all these varables going to be overwritten? how can i make it so i can close the windows, as you can see

close%20=%20guiCreateButton(314,%2023,%2018,%2018,%20"X",%20false,%20msgwin)

I have a feeling if multiple players are in that server i close one window and more windows are opened it won't work anymore because when i close it i was planning to destroy all teh GUI's for that window, but since all will have the same, "variables" once i close one, and try to close the other, that"close" technically won't exist no more.

        msgwin = guiCreateWindow(889, 491, 342, 298, "PM with: " ..playerName, false)

        close = guiCreateButton(314, 23, 18, 18, "X", false, msgwin) 
    end 
end

You can make a table to store all GUI elements of each chat.

Thanks this worked! all I need help with is that

The issue we were talking about with tables, I have always tried to avoid tables because I hated them with a passion. how can I do that here? 

function msgwino () 
    local row, col = guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( playerlist ) 
    if ( row and col and row ~= -1 and col ~= -1 ) then 
        local playerName = guiGridListGetItemText ( playerlist, row, 1 ) 
        msgwin = guiCreateWindow(889, 491, 342, 298, "PM with: " ..playerName, false) 
        guiWindowSetSizable(msgwin, false) 
        chatmemo = guiCreateMemo(14, 45, 312, 206, "", false, msgwin) 
        guiMemoSetReadOnly(chatmemo, true) 
        sendpm = guiCreateEdit(14, 261, 227, 26, "", false, msgwin) 
        guiSetProperty(sendpm, "NormalTextColour", "FF7F7F7F") 
        sendbut = guiCreateButton(248, 260, 78, 27, "Send", false, msgwin) 
        close = guiCreateButton(314, 23, 18, 18, "X", false, msgwin) 
        addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", close, msgwinclose ) 
    end 
end 
  
function msgwinclose() 
    _destroyElement ( msgwin ) 
end

I know this is wrong and you told me with tables, can you show me how? because like this as I have it if i have multiple windows open the 

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", close, msgwinclose )

will only wwork once.

                end 
                ,false 
            ) 
        end 
    end 
end

I haven't tested it, I leave that to you.

thank you works really good now pls!

but why when i try to let's say set the visibility of the to false it gives me an error 'attempt to index fields ? a nil value'

sorry my experience with tables are really shitty.

function openpm () 
    if (guiGetVisible(pmmain) == false) then 
        guiSetVisible ( pmmain, true ) 
        guiSetVisible ( chats [ player ].window, true ) --ISSUE HEREpls 
        showCursor( guiGetVisible( pmmain ) ) 
        guiSetInputEnabled(true) 
        toggleAllControls( false ) 
    else 
        guiSetVisible ( pmmain, false ) 
        guiSetVisible ( chats [ player ].window, false ) --nhere pls 
        showCursor( guiGetVisible( pmmain ) ) 
        guiSetInputEnabled( false ) 
        toggleAllControls( true ) 
    end 
end

This is what I have so far.

chats = { } 
  
function msgwino () 
    local row, col = guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( playerlist ) 
    if ( row and col and row ~= -1 and col ~= -1 ) then 
        local playerName = guiGridListGetItemText ( playerlist, row, 1 ) 
        local player = getPlayerName ( getPlayerFromName ( playerName ) ) 
        if ( player ) then 
            chats [ player ] = { } 
            chats [ player ].window = guiCreateWindow(889, 491, 342, 298, "PM with: " ..playerName, false) 
            guiWindowSetSizable(chats [ player ].window, false) 
            chats [ player ].memo = guiCreateMemo(14, 45, 312, 206, "", false, chats [ player ].window) 
            guiMemoSetReadOnly(chats [ player ].memo, true) 
            chats [ player ].edit = guiCreateEdit(14, 261, 227, 26, "", false, chats [ player ].window) 
            guiSetProperty(chats [ player ].edit, "NormalTextColour", "FF7F7F7F") 
            chats [ player ].send = guiCreateButton(248, 260, 78, 27, "Send", false, chats [ player ].window) 
            chats [ player ].close = guiCreateButton(314, 23, 18, 18, "X", false, chats [ player ].window) 
            addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", chats [ player ].close, 
                function ( ) 
                    _destroyElement ( chats [ player ].window ) 
                end 
                ,false 
            ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
  
function openpm () 
    if (guiGetVisible(pmmain) == false) then 
        guiSetVisible ( pmmain, true ) 
        guiSetVisible ( chats [ player ].window, true ) 
        showCursor( guiGetVisible( pmmain ) ) 
        guiSetInputEnabled(true) 
        toggleAllControls( false ) 
    else 
        guiSetVisible ( pmmain, false ) 
        guiSetVisible ( chats [ player ].window, false ) 
        showCursor( guiGetVisible( pmmain ) ) 
        guiSetInputEnabled( false ) 
        toggleAllControls( true ) 
    end 
end 
 

I know they are local, but this is where i had it before trying a whole bunch of shit, i tried making them global, even passing the variables onto openpm() , this is driving me nuts, last time i tries to get involved with tables i nearly fucked my screen -.-. i am so lost with this part

sorry i didn't post 100 percent of the client script but, anways there is a bind to close and open the PM main window that has a list of all the players, on top of that i want to make it so if i press the bind (which i already have 'f3' ) the little PM window's closes also, all the ones that are open which is the 

chats [ player ].window

<---those are the little pm windows.

anyways when i press the bind is where i get that error.

'attempt to index fields ? a nil value'

Use this:

for _, element in pairs ( chats ) do 
    if ( isElement ( element ) ) then 
        if ( getElementType ( element ) == "gui-window" ) then 
            guiSetVisible ( element, false ) 
        end 
    end 
end

That should hide all the windows.
