Dice Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 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 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.

Dice Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 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.
Castillo Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 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 = 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 I haven't tested it, I leave that to you.

Dice Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 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'
Castillo Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 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.

Dice Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 It still doesn't work, my main window disappears just fine, but those little pm windows won't , i tried some stuff of my own too but nothing. only positive thing is that the error is gone
