Hey guys, I've been working on some simple job script lately but as I don't get xml nodes and stuff too much I can't make it easier for me to create jobs, if I would want to make another job I would have to do the same procedure again and again.. So what I wanted in my xml : 

<job name = ""(this would be elemnt data that would set "Job") position=""(position of marker) weapons=""(weapon ids ) skin=""(skin he would get) description=""(i guess it's self explanatory)

My Police Job scripts :

client side :

jobWnd = guiCreateWindow(422, 250, 511, 272, "Job GUI v0.1", false) 
guiWindowSetSizable(jobWnd, false) 
  
desc = guiCreateMemo(9, 20, 492, 117, "Description: ....", false, jobWnd) 
guiMemoSetReadOnly(desc, true) 
yesbtn = guiCreateButton(64, 215, 156, 47, "Take Job", false, jobWnd) 
nobtn = guiCreateButton(266, 215, 156, 47, "Cancel", false, jobWnd) 
quitbtn = guiCreateButton(168, 147, 156, 47, "Quit Job", false, jobWnd) 
guiSetVisible(jobWnd, false) 
  
  
local jobmarker = createMarker ( 1536.4000244141, -1662.8000488281, 12.5, "cylinder", 1.5, 100, 149, 237, 170 ) 
function SAPDjob(hitElement) 
             if getElementType(hitElement) == "player" and (hitElement == localPlayer) then 
                  if not guiGetVisible(jobWnd) then 
                       guiSetVisible(jobWnd, true) 
                       showCursor(true) 
                  end 
             end 
        end 
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", jobmarker, SAPDjob) 
  
  
function closeGUI() 
    if (source == nobtn) then 
        showCursor(false) 
        guiSetVisible( jobWnd, false ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",root,closeGUI) 
  
function takeJob() 
    if ( source == yesbtn ) then             
        triggerServerEvent("getJob", getLocalPlayer()) 
        guiSetVisible(jobWnd,false) 
        showCursor(false) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",root,takeJob) 
  
function quitJob() 
    if ( source == quitbtn ) then             
        triggerServerEvent("quitJob", getLocalPlayer()) 
        guiSetVisible(jobWnd,false) 
        showCursor(false) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",root,quitJob)

server side : 

exports.Scoreboard:scoreboardAddColumn( "Job" ) 
  
function createCivTeam () 
    Polteam = createTeam ("Police", 100, 149, 237) 
    noTeam = createTeam ("Unemployed", 253, 208, 23) 
end 
addEventHandler ("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, createCivTeam) 
  
function joinTeam() 
local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam ( source )   
    if not playerTeam or playerTeam == noTeam then 
    setPlayerTeam(source,Polteam) 
    setPlayerNametagColor ( source, 100, 149, 237) 
    setElementModel(source, 280) 
    giveWeapon ( source, 3 ) 
    giveWeapon ( source, 23, 200 ) 
    giveWeapon ( source, 26, 200 ) 
    setElementData ( source, "Job", "Officer" ) 
    outputChatBox("#00FF00You are now employed as Police Officer!", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
    else 
    outputChatBox ( "#FF0000You are already employed, quit your job first!", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
end 
end 
addEvent("getJob", true) 
addEventHandler("getJob",root,joinTeam) 
  
function quitTeam() 
local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam ( source )   
    if (playerTeam == Polteam) then 
    setPlayerTeam(source, noTeam) 
    setPlayerNametagColor ( source, 253, 208, 23 ) 
    setElementModel(source, 0) 
    setElementData ( source, "Job", "Unemployed" ) 
    takeAllWeapons ( source ) 
    outputChatBox("#00FF00You are now Unemployed and all of your weapons were \"taken\"", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
    else 
    outputChatBox("#FF0000You don't have this job so you can't quit!", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true ) 
end 
end 
addEvent("quitJob", true) 
addEventHandler("quitJob",root,quitTeam)

How to make shorter procedure of creating jobs ?

I've been thinking about an easier system too. I was thinking about creating a function that create's a gui with specified information (given as a parameter) over and over again. You can customise this as much as you want.

Then create a small script for easy jobs like, hit a marker to start and a marker to finish. The rest of the extra function's like; jail, arrest, tow vehicle, repair vehicle etc you've to create other functions. but the standart functions you can create and reuse over and over again.

We all hit a marker or talk to a npc to start the job. We all get a team or data that's being set, the data is being saved at all the jobs. Dont write that 1000 times, write it once with parameters!

Why do you want to save it into a XML file?

not save it, but "make it" in XML, it makes things alot easier, after making code that allows you to create it in XML you can use alot simpler codes inside XML files as I mentioned before :

  
"Police" position="x,y,z" skin="255" weapon(s)="31"

What do you think about this;

function createJob( jobName, jobDesc, jobTeam, jobSkin, jobWeapon, jobMarkerX, jobMarkerY, jobMarkerZ, jobMarkerR, jobMarkerG, jobMarkerB, jobMarkerA ) 
    marker = createMarker( jobMarkerX, jobMarkerY, jobMarkerZ, "cylinder", 2, jobMarkerR, jobMarkerG, jobMarkerB, jobMarkerA ); 
    setElementData(marker, "job", jobName); 
    createTeam( tostring(jobTeam), jobMarkerR, jobMarkerG, jobMarkerB ); 
     
    local X = 0.375 
    local Y = 0.250 
    local Width = 1 
    local Height = 1 
    gui = {} 
  
    gui["_jobWindow".. jobName] = guiCreateWindow   (X, Y, Width/4, Height/4, tostring( jobName ), true) 
    guiWindowSetSizable(gui["_jobWindow".. jobName], false) 
  
    gui["_jobWindow".. jobName .."_lblDesc"] = guiCreateLabel ( 0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.1, jobDesc, true, gui["_jobWindow".. jobName]); 
  
  
    gui["_jobWindow".. jobName .."_btnAccept"] = guiCreateButton( 0.1, 0.8, 0.8 , 0.2, "Take the job!", true, gui["_jobWindow".. jobName] ); 
     
    guiSetVisible(gui["_jobWindow".. jobName], false); 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", root, 
    function ( hitElement ) 
        local markerName = getElementData( source ); 
        setGuiVisible( gui["_jobWindow".. markerName], true ); 
        showCursor( true ); 
    end 
);

didn't test it so it might contain bugs!

        showCursor( true ); 
    end 
);

EDIT :

idk if this will work, but maybe using theese, cause as I said not too good with xml nodes :

xmlCreateFile 
xmlNodeSetAttribute

My script doesn't work with xml's. I hate xml files, blegh! hahaha, anyway all you have to do in the onClientResourceStart, is add a line;

triggerEvent("createJob", localPlayer(), "Police", "Being a cop isn't easy ya know!", police, 280, 14, 0, 0, 5, 255, 0, 255, 255)
