SpawnScreen GUI not showing on player join

[Alen141]

Hey guys, recently I got a spawn script, but as player joins the server the GUI dosen't show up.. and i have to slap myself to show it

script :

local localPlayer = getLocalPlayer() 
local resX, resY = guiGetScreenSize() 
local centerX = resX / 2 
local centerY = resY / 2 
local windowX = 400 
local windowY = 410 
local leftX = 20 
local bottomY = resY - windowY - 20 
  
local xml = xmlLoadFile("spawns.xml")             -- open the XML file 
local cityNodes = xmlNodeGetChildren(xml)       -- get all child nodes of the root node () 
local cities = {}                             -- create a new global variable to store the welcome messages 
for i,node in ipairs(cityNodes) do 
    cityname = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node, "name") 
    local classnodes = xmlNodeGetChildren(node) 
    cities[cityname] = {} 
    for i2,node2 in ipairs(classnodes) do 
        classname = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node2, "name") 
        local spawnnodes = xmlNodeGetChildren(node2) 
        cities[cityname][classname] = {} 
        for i3, node3 in ipairs(spawnnodes) do 
            skinName = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node3, "name") 
            cities[cityname][classname][skinName] = {} 
            cities[cityname][classname][skinName]["spawnX"] = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node3, "spawnX") 
            cities[cityname][classname][skinName]["spawnY"] = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node3, "spawnY") 
            cities[cityname][classname][skinName]["spawnZ"] = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node3, "spawnZ") 
            cities[cityname][classname][skinName]["skin"] = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node3, "skin") 
            cities[cityname][classname][skinName]["permission"] = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node3, "permission") 
            cities[cityname][classname][skinName]["information"] = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node3, "information") 
            cities[cityname][classname][skinName]["weapons"] = xmlNodeGetAttribute(node3, "weapons")

now i get black screen

Read beneath onClientPlayerJoin.

onClientPlayerJoinClientside event

This event is triggered when a player joins a server. It is triggered for all players except the local player, as the local player joins the server before their client-side resources are started. It would also be possible for two players to join within a few seconds of each other and for the two players' scripts may not receive onClientPlayerJoin events as their scripts wouldn't have started yet.

use onClientResourceStart.

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, drawSpawnScreen)
