Need help with triggering

[papam77]

Hello i am trying to make login panel, but i need help with triggering.

I wanna to make it onPlayerConnect but it is Serverside event and guiCreateStaticImage is Clientside.

login_c.lua

    function login (player) 
    check = guiCreateCheckBox(0.57, 0.54, 0.01, 0.02, "", false, true, panel) 
    panel = guiCreateStaticImage(0.34, 0.28, 0.30, 0.40, "images/pnl.png", true) 
    ID = guiCreateEdit(0.14, 0.25, 0.69, 0.11, "ID", true, panel) 
    PASS = guiCreateEdit(0.14, 0.51, 0.69, 0.11, "PASSWORD", true, panel)     
    end 
     
  

How can trigger it with login_s.lua for onPlayerConnect

[xXMADEXx]

just use "onClientResourceStart" on the client side.

But it doesn't show if player connect to server.

But it doesn't show if player connect to server.

It will show when the resource gets started for them.

I've tryied this:

login_c.lua

   addEvent("login_c",true) 
   function login_c (player) 
    check = guiCreateCheckBox(0.57, 0.54, 0.01, 0.02, "", false, true, panel) 
    panel = guiCreateStaticImage(0.34, 0.28, 0.30, 0.40, "images/pnl.png", true) 
    ID = guiCreateEdit(0.14, 0.25, 0.69, 0.11, "ID", true, panel) 
    PASS = guiCreateEdit(0.14, 0.51, 0.69, 0.11, "PASSWORD", true, panel)     
    end 
    addEventHandler( "login_c", getRootElement(), login_c ) 
  

login_s.lua

addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", root, 
    function() 
    triggerClientEvent("login_c", getRootElement(), source) 
    end) 
  

And doesn't work.

That will not work, Use onClientResourceStart as xXMADEXx told you .

[fmj02]

You can't use onPlayerConnect because source of this event isn't player and there's no such parameter, use onPlayerJoin instead. Please be careful with onClientPlayerJoin, because the resources are not fully loaded then for client and it will fail. And it will not work anyway because you're only creating the GUI elements in login function, create them in the file scope(outside the function) and in the body of this function use guiSetVisible to show for specified player. Just like [sRN]xXMADEXx said, you can use onClientResourceStart.

panel = guiCreateStaticImage(0.34, 0.28, 0.30, 0.40, "images/pnl.png", true) 
check = guiCreateCheckBox(0.57, 0.54, 0.01, 0.02, "", false, true, panel) 
ID = guiCreateEdit(0.14, 0.25, 0.69, 0.11, "ID", true, panel) 
PASS = guiCreateEdit(0.14, 0.51, 0.69, 0.11, "PASSWORD", true, panel) 
  
function showLoginWindow() 
    guiSetVisible(panel, true) 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,  
    function () 
        showLoginWindow() 
    end 
)

btw:

   function login (system2, player) 
   local backo = { 
   ["panel"] = guiCreateStaticImage(0.34, 0.28, 0.30, 0.40, "login/li/pnl.png", true) 
   ["bg"] = guiCreateStaticImage(0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 1.00, "login/li/lobbyBG.png", true)  
   } 
   
    
   guiSetEnabled(backo["panel"],false) 
   guiSetEnabled(backo["bg"],false) 
    
    addCommandHandler("system2",login) 
  

What's wrong?

Error:

'}' expected (to close '{' at line 2) near '=' - Line 4

unexpected symbol near '}' - Line 5

I really don't know why...

[fmj02]

New value inserted to the table must be separated by comma. These are syntax errors, commonly encountered problem of beginners, you shouldn't be worried.

[papam77]

I've fixed it.

   function login (system2, player) 
   local backo = { 
   ["panel"] = guiCreateStaticImage(0.34, 0.28, 0.30, 0.40, "login/li/pnl.png", true), 
   ["bg"] = guiCreateStaticImage(0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 1.00, "login/li/lobbyBG.png", true), 
   } 
    
   guiSetEnabled(backo["panel"],false) 
  
   showCursor (true) 
    
   end 
    
    addCommandHandler("system2",login) 
  

But why i don't see login table on the up?

[fmj02]

guiSetVisible(backo.panel, true) 
guiSetVisible(backo.bg, true) 

[papam77]

Doesn't work.

[fmj02]

It should work, make sure the screen position is correct and the image really exists.

  
function login() 
    local backo = { 
        panel = guiCreateStaticImage(0.34, 0.28, 0.30, 0.40, "login/li/pnl.png", true), 
        bg = guiCreateStaticImage(0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 1.00, "login/li/lobbyBG.png", true) 
    } 
    guiSetVisible(backo.panel, true) 
    guiSetVisible(backo.bg, true) 
    showCursor (true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("system2",login) 
  

[papam77]

It doesn't work... panel is under bg

[fmj02]

So just change the order

  
guiSetVisible(backo.bg, true) 
guiSetVisible(backo.panel, true) 
  
guiBringToFront (backo.panel) 
  

[papam77]

Yeah, work it

Thank you very much
