[DakiLLa]

createElement

Create an element and set its data to max-players and then retrieve it from the client side. There are other ways of solving your problem, this way is just one of them.

i have this function server-side i want show in dxdrawtext but how

function getPlayerBantime( thePlayer ) 
    assert ( isElement ( thePlayer ) and getElementType ( thePlayer ) == "player", "Bad player element" ) 
    local ip = getPlayerIP ( thePlayer ) 
    local serial = getPlayerSerial ( thePlayer ) 
    if ( thePlayer ) then 
        local theBans = xmlNodeGetChildren( banlist ) 
        for i, theNode in ipairs( theBans ) do 
            local theValueSerial = xmlNodeGetAttribute( theNode, "Serial" ) 
            local theValueIP = xmlNodeGetAttribute( theNode, "IP" ) 
            if ( theValueSerial == serial) or ( theValueIP == ip ) then 
                local theValue = xmlNodeGetAttribute( theNode, "Bantime" ) 
                return theValue 
            else 
                return false 
            end 
        end 
    end

BUT HOW. MAKE LIKE THIS FAIL????

SERVER

addEvent ( "onShowInfoBan", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "onShowInfoBan", getRootElement(),  
    function (  ) 
        getPlayerBantime( source ) 
    end 
) 
  

CLIENT

addEventHandler( "onClientRender", getRootElement(), 
    function ( ) 
        local btime = triggerServerEvent ( "onShowInfoBan", localPlayer )  
        dxDrawText( btime, sx*0.2, sy*0.1, sx, sy, tocolor(255,0,0,255),(sx/1024)*0.5,"bankgothic","left","top",false,false,false ) 
    end 
) 

[kevenvz]

Server: 
function clientBanTime (player) 
getPlayerBanTime (player) 
end

what do you mean ?

[Sasu]

Try that.

[WASSIm.]

Try that.

my function server side an you show me it in client and file xml is in server not client

[Sasu]

I sent the XML to the client. Try that and tell me if it's wrong

Just a little advice:

Its a really, really bad idea to trigger a server event on every render for every player. You should use getTickCount or setTimer.

addEventHandler( 'onPlayerJoin', root,
