[HELP]Welcome Message GUI

[Shazzimal]

Hey,

I was just trying to make my first script. Wat I was making is: When someone joins my server, there will come up a GUI window, on that window are comming some rules commands etc. i maked this script and meta:

server.lua

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",getRootElement(), 
function createWelcomeMessage() 
    local X = 0.375 
    local Y = 0.375 
    local Width = 0.25 
    local Height = 0.25 
    wdwWelcome = guiCreateWindow(X, Y, Width, Height, "Welcome to my server.", true) 
     
    X = 0.0825 
    Y = 0.2 
     
    Width = 0.25 
    Height = 0.25 
     
    guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Welcome to my server! etc...") 
     
    guiSetVisible(wdwWelcome, false) 
end 

meta.xml

<meta> 
    <info author="Shazzimal" name="welcomeMessage" version="1.0" disc="Will create a welcome message at join."/> 
    <script src="server.lua"/> 
</meta> 

I tried to run it on my server but my server, doesn't recognized it, why?

Thanks

[iPrestege]

[Shazzimal]

[Shazzimal]

What are the problems

[iPrestege]

wdwWelcome = { 
} 
  
    local X = 0.375 
    local Y = 0.375 
    local Width = 0.25 
    local Height = 0.25 
    wdwWelcome = guiCreateWindow(X, Y, Width, Height, "Welcome to my server.", true) 
    X = 0.0825 
    Y = 0.2 
    Width = 0.25 
    Height = 0.25 
    guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Welcome to my server! etc..." , true , wdwWelcome)

wdwWelcome = { 
} 
  
    local X = 0.375 
    local Y = 0.375 
    local Width = 0.25 
    local Height = 0.25 
    wdwWelcome = guiCreateWindow(X, Y, Width, Height, "Welcome to my server.", true) 
    X = 0.0825 
    Y = 0.2 
    Width = 0.25 
    Height = 0.25 
    guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Welcome to my server! etc..." , true , wdwWelcome) 
  
  

There is no need for declaring a table variable with the name 'wdwWelcome'.

[iPrestege]

wdwWelcome = { 
} 
  
    local X = 0.375 
    local Y = 0.375 
    local Width = 0.25 
    local Height = 0.25 
    wdwWelcome = guiCreateWindow(X, Y, Width, Height, "Welcome to my server.", true) 
    X = 0.0825 
    Y = 0.2 
    Width = 0.25 
    Height = 0.25 
    guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Welcome to my server! etc..." , true , wdwWelcome) 
  
  

There is no need for declaring a table variable with the name 'wdwWelcome'.

Thanks .

Thanks for your help guys, but what is the different between server- en client side. And must i add the addEventHandler, or?

[iPrestege]

The server side will happen to all on the server .

[Shazzimal]

To all players?

And what does client side?

Must i add the addEventHandler?

For The Player Only That One Use It .

[Castillo]

Some functions/events are client or server side only, like all GUI/DX drawing functions are client side only, you can't use them server side.

[iPrestege]

This is what I mean exactly .

[Shazzimal]

Ok, thank you guys!

[iPrestege]

You,re Welcome .

[Shazzimal]

But mustn't i use addEventHandler at playerjoin?

[iPrestege]

But mustn't i use addEventHandler at playerjoin?

You do not need when the player join because it is the window will be visible.

[Shazzimal]

Oke, i am always going to add a command to open it, just add this?

addCommandHandler(Welcome, function ... ) 

Wich function must i use?

[iPrestege]

addCommandHandler("open", 
function ()  
      guiSetVisible(wdwWelcome,true) 
      showCursor(true) 
end)

Thanks
