dxrectangle into a button

[toptional]

I made this dx rectangle i want when someone press's it it will trigger a server event which i will do later, But i can't figure it out. I tried onClientClick but it doesn't work. I think i got the parameters wrong

I was just experimenting it's probably all wrong.

firstMissionMarker = createMarker ( 1699.88647, -2259.09521, 38.5, "cylinder",  1.5, 255, 255, 0, 125 ) 
setElementInterior ( firstMissionMarker, 2) 
  
  
function Draw () 
     
    spawnbutton =       dxDrawRectangle(569, 538, 144, 53, tocolor(255, 0, 0, 255), true) 
    spawntext =         dxDrawText("Spawn!", 620, 555, 721, 569, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, "default", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
     
end; 
  
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit",firstMissionMarker, 
    function (plr) 
        if (getElementType(plr) == "player") and ( plr == localPlayer )then 
            addEventHandler("onClientRender",source,Draw); end; 
        end 
    ); 
  
    addEventHandler("onClientMarkerLeave",firstMissionMarker, 
        function ( plr ) 
        if (getElementType(plr) == "player") and ( plr == localPlayer )then 
        removeEventHandler("onClientRender",source,Draw); end; 
    end 
); 
  
  
    function spawnPlayerOnDXButtonPress ( left, down, 569, 538, 1699.88647, -2259.09521, 38.5, spawnbutton ) 
        if ( spawnbutton ) then 
                outputChatBox ("works!") 
        else 
                outputChatBox ("FAIL!") 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler("onClientClick", source, spawnPlayerOnDXButtonPress )

At the end, try "onClientGUIClick" instead of "onClientClick", because (wiki): "This event triggers whenever the user clicks his mouse. This is linked to the GTA world, as oppose to GUI for which onClientGUIClick is to be used. This event allows detection of click positions of the 3D world."

The i'm pretty sure that dxrectangle is not a GUI element, or is it?

I think it isn't at all, anyway try it and let me know

No, that won't work, obviously, you'll have to check cursor position with onClientClick.

Can you give me an example?

addEventHandler("onClientClick",root, 
    function () 
        local screenx, screeny, worldx, worldy, worldz = getCursorPosition() 
        if (screenx==20) and (screeny==50) then -- There is also a few ways to write it to get the position.. 
            -- code -- 
        end 
    end 
)

DX drawings are not GUI elements. DX drawings do not exist. DX functions do not create anything and because of that, they do not return any element. All what DX functions do is changing the colors of pixels on the screen. Our brains receive the information about these pixels and interpret some areas as distinct objects, creating an illusion of DX drawings' existence

Requires some editing to make it work.

EDIT: used onClientRender as event.

  
local clicked = false 
-- Hover-On 
    if not isCursorShowing() then return end 
    local cX, cY = getCursorPosition() 
    for i,v in ipairs(items) do 
        local x, y = v.x, v.y 
        if cX >= x-0.001 and cY >= y and cX <= x + (itemWidth - 0.001) and cY < y + (itemHeight - 0.001) then 
            v.color = { 255, 255, 255, 255 } 
            -- Click 
            if getKeyState('mouse1') and not clicked then 
                -- Trigger event herr 
                clicked = true 
            elseif not getKeyState('mouse1') then 
                clicked = false 
            end 
        else     
            v.color = { 200, 200, 200, 255 } 
        end 
    end
