setElementData problem

[TheIceman1]

Why this dont dont set player(playerName) data ( "clan" ), and why i see message ( "You are invited..." ) and not player who i invited?No errors.

GUIEditor_Grid[2] = guiCreateGridList(10,23,276,256,false,GUIEditor_Window[2]) 
  
function inviteplayer () 
if ( source == GUIEditor_Button[8] ) then 
if ( getElementData ( localPlayer, "leader" ) ) then 
local playerName = guiGridListGetItemText ( GUIEditor_Grid[3], guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( GUIEditor_Grid[3] ), 1 ) 
 if ( playerName ) then 
   local clan = getElementData ( localPlayer, "clan" ) 
   local player = getPlayerFromName ( playerName ) 
   setElementData ( player, "clan", clan ) 
   outputChatBox ( "You are invited in "..clan.." by "..getPlayerName(localPlayer), getPlayerFromName( playerName ), 255, 255, 20 ) 
end 
 end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", root, inviteplayer )

Cause this code is played only in the player who makes the INVITATION.

And please notice that elementData modified client-side will only affect the CLIENT (localPlayer)

In fact, you can't send a message to everybody from clientside, you MUST do a server trigger

I dont understand...

[Renkon]

You MUST use setElementData serverside in other words.... since that piece of code is ONLY executed in leader's client, while it should go client -> server -> ¿client?

That's wrong. Element data is always synced unless you set the 4th argument to false.

As far as I knew, if you modified elementData clientside it wouldn't be synced with the server

It'll sync with the server if you set it client side.

Solved.
