Help my script

[Flipi]

How do I run the setting of my script? (the script is a shout admin)

Server-side

function shout( player, cmd, ... ) 
    local accountname = getAccountName( getPlayerAccount( player ) ) 
    local w = {...} 
    local message = table.concat(w, " ") 
    if isObjectInACLGroup ( "user." .. accountname, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" ) )  then 
        triggerClientEvent ( root, "onShouts", root, message ) 
            if get ("ColorText") then 
             dxDrawText(ColorText, theText, leftB, topB, left, top, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 3, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, true, true,true) 
    else 
        outputChatBox( "* #0080FFNo puedes usar este comando!", player, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    end 
end 
end 
addCommandHandler( "shout", shout ) 

Client

local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize() 
local sx = sx / 2 
local sy = sy / 2 
function drawText() 
    local width = dxGetTextWidth(theText, 3, "default") 
    local height = dxGetFontHeight(3, "default") 
    local leftB = sx - width / 2 
    local topB = sy - (height + 5) 
    local left = sx - width / 2 
    local top = sy - height 
    local ColorText = "#0080FF" 
    dxDrawText(theText, leftB+2, topB+2, left, top, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 3, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, true, true) 
    dxDrawText(ColorText, theText, leftB, topB, left, top, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 3, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, true, true,true) 
end 
draw = false 
function drawShout(text) 
    if not draw then 
        theText = text 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, drawText) 
        draw = true 
        setTimer(function() 
        draw = false 
        removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, drawText) 
        end, 5000, 1) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onShouts", true) 
addEventHandler("onShouts", root, drawShout)

why don't you just color the name when he shouts, why do you have to make a settings for it?

I do not understand how to do so

dxDrawText(ColorText, theText, leftB, topB, left, top, tocolor(255,255,255,255), 3, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, true, true,true) 

dx functions can't be executed serverside. Won't work.

Use triggerClientEvent to trigger some custom event and execute drawShout. This will work.

triggerClientEvent -- send the text as an argument. Should be executed serverside 
addEventHandler("onShouts", root, drawShout) -- You have this one. It's okay. Trigger it.

help me add it to my script?, I'm confused

since the dxDraw functions are only clientsided and has to be used with onClientRender You should add a new event and trigger it. Add a new eventHandler which would display what you want. Making this command client-sided would even be alot easier.

then remove the dxtext of server-side and added a new event in client-side?

in where part the client?

some example?
