guiCreateButton 

[John Smith]

tried doing that,successfully made a button,but i got few problems.

client side

button = guiCreateButton( 0.45, 0.5, 0.1, 0.1, "Spawn!", true ) 
  
function testFunction () 
triggerServerEvent("onSumoButtonSpawn",localPlayer) 
showCursor(localPlayer,true) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerJoin", button, testFunction ) 
  
function otherTestFunction() 
triggerServerEvent("spawnButtonSumoPlayer",true) 
showCursor(localPlayer,false) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",button,otherTestFunction) 

server side(1 part of script file)

function buttonSumoSpawn() 
fadeCamera(source,true) 
end 
addEvent("onSumoButtonSpawn",true) 
addEventHandler("onSumoButtonSpawn",root,buttonSumoSpawn) 
  
function otherSumoFunction() 
spawnPlayer ( source, unpack ( spawnPoints [ math.random ( #spawnPoints ) ] ) )--loading it from a table(other part of code) 
setCameraTarget ( source, source )  
fadeCamera(source,false) 
end 
addEvent("spawnButtonSumoPlayer",true) 
addEventHandler("spawnButtonSumoPlayer",root,otherSumoFunction) 

When i come ingame,i see a button which says "Spawn!" but i dont see cursor,and when i get cursor with F8 key,it doesnt do anything when i click the button.

please help me

-- client side:

button = guiCreateButton( 0.45, 0.5, 0.1, 0.1, "Spawn!", true ) 
fadeCamera ( false ) 
showCursor ( true ) 
  
function otherTestFunction ( ) 
    triggerServerEvent ( "spawnButtonSumoPlayer",true ) 
    showCursor ( false ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", button, otherTestFunction, false ) 

-- server side:

function otherSumoFunction ( ) 
    spawnPlayer ( source, unpack ( spawnPoints [ math.random ( #spawnPoints ) ] ) ) 
    setCameraTarget ( source, source ) 
    fadeCamera ( source, true ) 
end 
addEvent ( "spawnButtonSumoPlayer", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "spawnButtonSumoPlayer",root,otherSumoFunction ) 

Problems I found:

1º The event "onClientPlayerJoin" is only triggered by remote players, you should use "onClientResourceStart" instead.

2º showCursor has no player argument when used client side.

3º If you use "false" in fadeCamera, it'll fade the camera out, meaning you won't be able to see.

now when i click spawn button,cursor goes away and nothing happens

Do you have the "spawnPoints" table defined?

[John Smith]

spawnPoints = 
{ 
    [ 1 ] = { 2702.2, -3018.6, 99.9 }, 
    [ 2 ] = { 2696.7, -3015.9, 99.9 } 
} 

idk if its defined in here,but before i just spawned normally with this table without problems so it must be defined

Write "/debugscript 3" in the chatbox and see if it outputs errors when you start the resource.

[John Smith]

error was bad argument triggerServerEvent instead of element it got boolean(true)

you've put this line in script which confused me as soon as i saw your script but i've trusted u so i didn't change the line

triggerServerEvent ( "spawnButtonSumoPlayer",true ) 

but it should be

triggerServerEvent ( "spawnButtonSumoPlayer",localPlayer ) 

anyway,you've fixed my other problems so,thank you very much!

1 more question.

could you please tell me whats wrong in here?

im trying to warp player into vehicle when he spawns

warpPedIntoVehicle ( source, vehicle ) 

vehicle is defined in here

local vehicle = createVehicle ( model, unpack ( spawnPoints [ math.random ( #spawnPoints ) ] ) ) 

error is this

[01:26:20] WARNING: [gamemodes]\[sumo]\sumo\load_map\spawn_s.lua:47: Bad argument @ 'warpPedIntoVehicle'

[Castillo]

I missed that when I corrected your script, since you put "true", not me.

Post the script about the vehicle problem.
