Spawn Menu not showing

DELETE THIS

Last line of clientside script:

"onPlayerJoin"

Should be

"onClientPlayerJoin"

Remember this: All default clientside events have CLIENT in their name.

Castillo · February 2, 2013

"onClientPlayerJoin" is triggered when a remote player joins, it does not trigger to the local player.

Puma · February 2, 2013

Well, he said "when A player joins" so that would be not the player itself.

Castillo · February 2, 2013

Seeing that it's a spawn screen, I would say that it's meant for the player that joined, not for when a remote joins.

@Zombie: Show it when resource starts.

GerardWay · February 3, 2013

It doesnt start when I start the resource either Castillo, so there must be a massive bug located somewhere in the script.

When I actually execute the script, it does not output any errors to the console and simply appears as:

Start: Requested by Console

Starting Spawn

Start: Resource Spawn started

Try this

Server:

addEvent( "Sniper", true) 
addEventHandler( "Sniper", root,

Any help is appreciated!

Nothings wrong other than the event "onPlayerJoin" is server side, and here GUI Editor.button[2] does not exist.

guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[2], "sa-header")

And still the window should be showing when you start the resource/join the server.

Maybe you have something wrong in the meta.

TAPL · February 3, 2013

That's because your button has different name.

GUIEditor.button[13] = guiCreateButton(901, 483, 418, 179, "Spawn!", false, GUIEditor.window[1])

It's GUIEditor.button[13] not Spawn.

GerardWay · February 3, 2013

In the more recent code I provided, I changed "GUIEditor.button[13]" To "Spawn"

igthomas · February 3, 2013

The problem with previous was that you had dots between "GUIEditor" and "window" instead of "_" so it gave some error.

Here's for removing the spawnpanel:

GUIEditor_button = {} 
GUIEditor_window = {} 
  
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,   
function() 
GUIEditor_window[1] = guiCreateWindow(0, 0, 1365, 767, "Spawn", false)

Sniper = guiCreateButton(73, 121, 301, 93, "Sniper", false, GUIEditor_window[1]) 
guiSetFont(Sniper, "sa-header")

Thanks Optimus, everything going okay at ZO:R?

EDIT: Now the Panel is back to not showing up again

igthomas · February 3, 2013

Weird I've just tested it and everything worked well you sure you haven't forgot anything in meta?

GerardWay · February 3, 2013

Hrmmm, let me check man

EDIT:

Meta.xml:

<meta> 
<info author="Fontaine" type="script" version="1.3" name="Spawn" description="Spawn Menu" /> 
  
<script src="spawn.lua" type="client" /> 
<script src="spawns.lua" type="server" /> 
</meta>

igthomas · February 4, 2013

The problem could be because on your first post the client script file is called "Spawnc.lua" instead of "spawn.lua". I've tested it again and everything worked very well

GerardWay · February 7, 2013

Still not working, could you maybe provide me with the "Meta.XML" That you are using for this script please?

Adistar · February 7, 2013

You could try this.

onPlayerSpawnButton

Then enable it, so

("onPlayerSpawnButton", true)

If you want to let the player spawn:

  
addEvent("onPlayerSpawnButton", true) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawnButton", getRootElement(), playerSpawn)

Add this in serverside.

Spawn Menu not showing
