[HELP] Register

Hello;

The server-side

function loginHandler (username, password) 
    if username == "LabiVila" and password == "LabinoTVilA" then 
        if ( client ) then 
            outputChatBox ("You have successfully logged in.", client, 255, 255, 255) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox ("Wrong username or password, please re-connect.", client, 255, 255, 255) 
        end 
end 
addEvent ("submitLogin", true) 
addEventHandler ("submitLogin", root, loginHandler) 
  
function createFileHandler () 
    local RootNode = xmlCreateFile("accounts.xml", "accounts")

the client-side

    else 
        outputChatBox ("An unexpected error has occurred, please reconnect.", 255, 255, 255) 
    end 
end 

Everything is working fine so far. But can you guys tell me how can I get the usernameEdit and passwordEdit from the client-side to server-side? I don't want to replace with the existing xml file (accounts.xml). I want to put it a child down to accounts.xml, informations.

This is the way I want to make a register-window. I would appreciate too if you would tell me an easier way to register.

(I am a newbie)

You mean triggerServerEvent ?

I didn't understand what you said !

[LabiVila]

Yes, exactly that, but I don't know how to get the usernameEdit and passwordEdit text when you click Register. I tried every way I know (with the triggerClientEvent) but it didn't work.

If you know a better and easier way of making a register, could you please tell me?

[iPrestege]

triggerServerEvent('MyEvent',localPlayer,guiGetText ( Edit ) ) 

is it hard?

[Dealman]

triggerServerEvent('MyEvent',localPlayer,guiGetText ( Edit ) ) 

is it hard?

If you don't know how to use triggerServerEvent, then yes it's hard.

@OP: You'll need to create a new event server-side using addEvent and addEventHandler. Then trigger this event via the client-side script with triggerServerEvent.
