[jamelnassar]

hello gys

i want to make the gui hide in 3 second

i want to change alpha actilly

   Image = guiCreateStaticImage( 690, 200, 100, alpha, "R1.png", false ) 
local Alpha = 255 - o 
local o = 0.1 
  

i dont know why it doesnt work

can someone fix it

[Castillo]

You mean keep lowering the alpha until it's fully invisible?

[Desaster]

local alpha1 = 255  
local alpha2 = 0 
Image = guiCreateStaticImage( 690, 200, 100, alpha, "R1.png", false ) 
function setalpha() 
    setTimer ( function() 
        guiSetAlpha(Image, alpha2) 
    end, 3000, 1 ) 
end 

[jamelnassar]

desaster it doesnt work

If you are trying to make a fade effect, i'd recommend using dxDrawImage so that you can just declare the alpha to a variable, and every render you can lower the alpha.

Example:

  
local alpha = 255 
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, function ( ) 
    dxDrawImage ( 690, 200, 100, "R1.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, alpha ) ) 
    if ( alpha > 25 ) then 
       alpha = alpha - 1 
     end 
end )

You guys are doing serveral things wrong.

When using guiSetAlpha

alpha: The visibility/transparency of the GUI element. Ranges from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque).

And you are using guiCreateStaticImage and dxDrawImage wrong, it only has screenX, screenY, Width, and no height!

So:

local alpha = 255 
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, function ( ) 
    dxDrawImage ( 690, 200, 100, 100, "R1.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, alpha ) )  
-- starts at 690 pixels from the Xscreen 
-- then starts at 200 pixels from the Y 
--draw is 100 pixels to the X ( width ) 
--and 100 pixels to the Y  ( height ) 
    if ( alpha > 25 ) then 
       alpha = alpha - 1 
     end 
end ) 

OR:

local alpha = 1 
Image = guiCreateStaticImage( 690, 200, 100, 100, "R1.png", false ) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, function ( ) 
    if ( alpha >= 0 ) then 
       alpha = alpha - 0.1 
       guiSetAlpha ( Image, alpha ) 
     end 
end)

it doesnt work

i use server file not client

i need server code

[denny199]

You can't draw images on server-side.

If you want to display it for every user in the game, you should loop through it using the getElementsByType.

That doesn't make any sense

If you put it on client side, then it will execute if the client's pc has loaded the client script.

[WASSIm.]

use this guiSetProperty

guiSetProperty( theImage, "Alpha", Alpha ) 

[Castillo]

What's wrong with guiSetAlpha?

It does, you loop the elements that are players and send to each one's client-side the trigger. (correctly setup should work, but i would rather use the player variable than all elements, but still should work)

What's wrong with guiSetAlpha?

guiSetAlpha not working with GUI Static Images

You are wrong, it's working.

The values are from 0 to 1, like I said earlier before.

So you want to loop all players on the server side and then trigger X amount of players to the client, so if you have 50 players on your server, you are sending 50 times a trigger to the client??? Better use "root" instead.
