[-.Paradox.-]

Hello all i have a little problem im trying to create a gui when player click on lock it lock the vehicle but when i make it it wont work here is a simple part from the script

Client

function lockButton() 
triggerServerEvent("lockCar", getLocalPlayer(), source) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor.button[1], lockButton, false ) 

i want when player press button it lock the vehicle so i tried triggerServerEvent but nothing

Server

function doLockVehicle ( source ) 
    local theVehicle , strout 
    if ( getElementType(source) == "vehicle" ) then 
        theVehicle = source 
    end 
    if ( getElementType(source) == "player" ) then 
        theVehicle = getElementData ( source, "cl_ownedvehicle" ) 
    end 
  
    if ( theVehicle ) then 
        local vehiclename = getVehicleName ( theVehicle ) 
        -- already locked 
        if ( getElementData ( theVehicle, "cl_vehiclelocked") == true ) then 
            strout = "Your " .. vehiclename .. " is already locked."  
            Err_Msg(strout, source) 
        else  
            setElementData ( theVehicle, "cl_vehiclelocked", true) 
            setVehicleLocked ( theVehicle, true )  
            Car_Msg( "Current vehicle " .. vehiclename .. " locked.", theVehicle) 
            Info_Msg ( "Locked vehicle " .. vehiclename .. ".", source ) 
            if ( getVehicleController ( theVehicle ) == false ) then 
                cl_FlashLights ( source ) 
            end 
        end 
    else 
        Err_Msg("You must have a vehicle to lock it.", source) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("lockCar", true) 
addEventHandler("lockCar", getRootElement(), doLockVehicle)

You are sending the GUI button element as the player, remove 'source' from triggerServerEvent and doLockVehicle function name.

Like that?

triggerServerEvent("lockCar", getLocalPlayer(), doLockVehicle) 

[Castillo]

No, that has nothing to do with what I said.

This:

triggerServerEvent ( "lockCar", getLocalPlayer() ) 

And this:

function doLockVehicle ( )

Working thanks a lot man, and im asking if i can play sound when locking and play sound when unlocking? what i can use?

[Castillo]

Play the sound depending on current door state.

[-.Paradox.-]

What about

  
triggerClientEvent --because playSound is a client side function 
playSound 
triggerServerEvent --to trigger the lock and unlock event to to client side 
  

[Castillo]

triggerClientEvent + playSound.

[-.Paradox.-]

okay gonna try

[-.Paradox.-]

like that?

function sound ()  
    local sound = playSound("sounds/lock.mp3") 
    setSoundVolume(sound, 0.5) 
end 
addEvent("lockSound", true) 
addEventHandler("lockSound", getRootElement(), sound) 

[Castillo]

Yeah, that should work.

[-.Paradox.-]

okay thanks everything is working good

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

Got a little problem, when player lock the vehicle it play the locking sound but everybody can hear, and i want only the player who lock the vehicle can hear it.

[isa_Khamdan]

that's because you used play sound on server side.

[-.Paradox.-]

no i used triggerClientEvent in serverside

[isa_Khamdan]

no i used triggerClientEvent in serverside

Then maybe you triggered the event for all clients , you should trigger it for the player who locked/unlocked his vehicle only ( source ).
