Server side command open a client side window

[..:D&G:..]

Hey, I just made a window and I need to open it when I trigger a command in server side.

function menuShow () 
    visableornot = guiGetVisible (DXgui.fereastra[1]) 
    if (visableornot == true) then 
        guiSetVisible (DXgui.fereastra[1], false) 
        showCursor (false) 
    end 
    if (visableornot == false) then 
        guiSetVisible (DXgui.fereastra[1], true) 
        showCursor (true) 
    end 
end 

I know I need to use triggerClientEvent but I don't know how to make the line...

try

  
function menuShow () 
    visableornot = guiGetVisible (DXgui.fereastra[1]) 
    if (visableornot == true) then 
        guiSetVisible (DXgui.fereastra[1], false) 
        showCursor (false) 
    end 
    if (visableornot == false) then 
        guiSetVisible (DXgui.fereastra[1], true) 
        showCursor (true) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("SeeGui",true) 
addEventHandler("SeeGui",root,menuShow) 
  
-- server 
  
function open(P) 
triggerClientEvent(P,"SeeGui"P) 
end 
addCommandHandler("gui",open)

Thanks!

There is a problem, when the resource starts the gui appears.

Also when I write the command /stats the gui appears but only the gui, the closing button, the copyright and the logo appears, but he writing (stats) doesn't not appear. Also when I press the closing button, the gui closes but the button doesn't not disappear.

    fereastra = {}, 
    copyright = {}, 
    linie = {},

        guiLabelSetHorizontalAlign(DXgui.nume[1], "center", false) 
        DXgui.skin[1] = guiCreateStaticImage(143, 241, 92, 87, ":account-system/img/000.png", false, DXgui.fereastra[1])   
    end

function menuShow () 
    visableornot = guiGetVisible (DXgui.fereastra[1])

        guiSetVisible (DXgui.fereastra[1], false) 
        showCursor (false)

        guiSetVisible(DXgui.fereastra[1], false) 
        showCursor(false) 
    end 
end 
) 

Also when I start the resource I get this erros: ERROR: chat\c_stats.lua:28 bad argument #1 to 'len' (string expected, got nil)

[Chronic]

  
-- server 
  
function open(P) 
triggerClientEvent(P,"SeeGui"P) 
end 
addCommandHandler("gui",open) 

Should Be

  
-- server 
  
function open(P) 
triggerClientEvent(P,"SeeGui",P) 
end 
addCommandHandler("gui",open) 

And the reason why you are getting that error is because

string.len(properties) 

should be

string.len("properties") 

since it's a string

This part was in a server side file saying the info in the chat box.

  DXgui.status[1] = guiCreateLabel(4, 85, 606, 145, "Numar Telefon: " .. getElementData(thePlayer, "cellnumber") .. "\nPermis de Conducere: " .. carlicense .. "\nPort Arma: " .. gunlicense ..

"\nOre jucate pe caracter: " .. hoursplayed .. " ora/e\nLimbi Vorbite: " .. table.concat(languages, ", ") .. "\nNumar de Securitate: ".. finalstring .."", false, DXgui.fereastra[1])

Anywhere you're writing a string it has to be inside quotes (" ")

[..:D&G:..]

Limbi Vorbite: " .. table.concat(languages, ", ") .. " 

Table expected, but got nil, when I add the "" to languages, it says that table expected, but got string

[Chronic]

Quotes are used only for strings. For this table you are trying to add, you never defined it, so put this at the top of your script.

languages = {} 

[..:D&G:..]

Oh... I am going retarded, how could I forget?! Thanks!

You're welcome

[..:D&G:..]

Now I get another error...

30: attempt to concatenate global 'finalstring' (a nil value)

All the events and functions are in a server side file.

[Chronic]

'finalstring' was never defined

[..:D&G:..]

It is, but in server side.. Do I have to trigger something?
