[-stolka-]

why when i open the GUI every player see it?

function arrestGui ( arrest ) 
    outputChatBox ( "client arrest " .. arrest ) 
      guiSetVisible(windowArrest, true) 
      showCursor(true) 
      guiSetText ( GUIEditor_Label[2],"arrests:"..arrest ) 
end 
addEvent( "onArrestRequest", true ) 
addEventHandler( "onArrestRequest", getRootElement(), arrestGui ) 

[K4stic]

function arrestGui ( player, arrest ) 
    if ( player == localPlayer ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "client arrest " .. arrest ) 
        guiSetVisible(windowArrest, true) 
        showCursor(true) 
        guiSetText ( GUIEditor_Label[2],"arrests:"..arrest ) 
    end 
end 
addEvent( "onArrestRequest", true ) 
addEventHandler( "onArrestRequest", getRootElement(), arrestGui ) 

Just then you tigger to open gui use double the player ellement example:

triggerClientEvent( "onArrestRequest", player, player, arrest )

'windowArrest' is a window variable?

[TAPL]

You don't need server side, it can be done client side.

function arrestGui() 
    local arrest = getElementData(localPlayer, "arrest") 
    if arrest then 
        outputChatBox("arrest: "..arrest) 
        guiSetVisible(windowArrest, true) 
        showCursor(true) 
        guiSetText(GUIEditor_Label[2], "arrests: "..arrest) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("you don't have any arrest") 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("arrest", arrestGui)

triggerClientEvent( "onArrestRequest",source, arrest ) 

Using source is wrong . playerSource as it's defined in the function .

[TAPL]

You all using it wrong way.

Syntax:

bool triggerClientEvent ( [element sendTo=getRootElement()], string name, element theElement, [arguments...] ) 

The first argument is 'sendTo' that mean who you want trigger to, if you haven't specific the sendTo it will be root by default (for all).

While the third argument will be the source of the event at the client side (every event have source isn't it? the same with custom events).
