[HELP]givePlayerMoney doesn't seem to be working. [SOLVED]

[TheGamingMann]

Hello. So I am simply getting an error that is saying bad argument. I have tried many things to sort this out and have not solved the issue yet. Code below.

c_load.lua:

function loadHandler(button, state) 
    if button == "left" and state == "up" then 
        local row, col = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(glistLoadList) 
        local startpos = guiGridListGetItemData(glistLoadList, row, 2) 
        local endpos = guiGridListGetItemData(glistLoadList, row, 3) 
        local cash = guiGridListGetItemData(glistLoadList, row, 4) 
        if row and col and row ~= -1 and col ~=-1 then 
            startx, starty, startz = unpack(startpos) 
            endx, endy, endz = unpack(endpos) 
            cash = unpack(cash) 
            createLoadStart() 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function createLoadStart() 
    startMarker = createMarker(startx, starty, startz, "checkpoint", 7) 
    startBlip = createBlip(startx, starty, startz, 0, 2, 0, 0, 255) 
    hideLoad() 
end 
  
function startLoading() 
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
    if isElementWithinMarker(localPlayer, startMarker) then 
        if vehicle then 
            if (getElementModel(vehicle)) == 403 or (getElementModel(vehicle)) == 515 or (getElementModel(vehicle)) == 514 then 
                trailer = createVehicle(435, -99, -57, 3.5, 0, 0, 167) 
                guiSetText(lblLoading, "Loading...") 
                guiSetVisible(lblLoading, true) 
                attachTrailerToVehicle(vehicle, trailer) 
                setElementFrozen(vehicle, true) 
                setTimer(function () 
                    guiSetVisible(lblLoading, false) 
                    setElementFrozen(vehicle, false) 
                end, 10*1000, 1) 
                destroyElement(startMarker) 
                destroyElement(startBlip) 
                endMarker = createMarker(endx, endy, endz, "checkpoint", 7) 
                endBlip = createBlip(endx, endy, endz, 0, 2, 255, 0, 0) 
            end 
        else 
            outputChatBox("You need to be in some sort of 18 Wheeler to take a job.", localPlayer) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("You need to be in the load marker to get the trailer.", localPlayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("load", startLoading) 
  
function startUnLoading() 
    local person = localPlayer 
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
    if isElementWithinMarker(localPlayer, endMarker) then 
        if vehicle then 
            if getVehicleTowingVehicle(trailer) == vehicle then 
                guiSetText(lblLoading, "Unloading...") 
                guiSetVisible(lblLoading, true) 
                setElementFrozen(vehicle, true) 
                setTimer(function () 
                    guiSetVisible(lblLoading, false) 
                    setElementFrozen(vehicle, false) 
                    detachTrailerFromVehicle(vehicle) 
                    destroyElement(trailer) 
                end, 10*1000, 1) 
                destroyElement(endMarker) 
                destroyElement(endBlip) 
                triggerServerEvent("finishRoute", localPlayer, person, cash) 
            end 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("You need to be in the unload marker to unload the trailer.", localPlayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("unload", startUnLoading) 

s_load.lua:

function finishLoad(person, cash) 
    givePlayerMoney(person, tonumber(cash)) 
end 
addEvent("finishRoute", true) 
addEventHandler("finishRoute", root, finishLoad) 

Thanks in advance guys.

Try to use this (client):

function loadHandler(button, state) 
    if button == "left" and state == "up" then 
        local row, col = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(glistLoadList) 
        local startpos = guiGridListGetItemData(glistLoadList, row, 2) 
        local endpos = guiGridListGetItemData(glistLoadList, row, 3) 
        local cash_ = guiGridListGetItemData(glistLoadList, row, 4) 
        if row and col and row ~= -1 and col ~=-1 then 
            startx, starty, startz = unpack(startpos) 
            endx, endy, endz = unpack(endpos) 
            cash = unpack(cash_) 
            createLoadStart() 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function createLoadStart() 
    startMarker = createMarker(startx, starty, startz, "checkpoint", 7) 
    startBlip = createBlip(startx, starty, startz, 0, 2, 0, 0, 255) 
    hideLoad() 
end 
  
function startLoading() 
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
    if isElementWithinMarker(localPlayer, startMarker) then 
        if vehicle then 
            if (getElementModel(vehicle)) == 403 or (getElementModel(vehicle)) == 515 or (getElementModel(vehicle)) == 514 then 
                trailer = createVehicle(435, -99, -57, 3.5, 0, 0, 167) 
                guiSetText(lblLoading, "Loading...") 
                guiSetVisible(lblLoading, true) 
                attachTrailerToVehicle(vehicle, trailer) 
                setElementFrozen(vehicle, true) 
                setTimer(function () 
                    guiSetVisible(lblLoading, false) 
                    setElementFrozen(vehicle, false) 
                end, 10*1000, 1) 
                destroyElement(startMarker) 
                destroyElement(startBlip) 
                endMarker = createMarker(endx, endy, endz, "checkpoint", 7) 
                endBlip = createBlip(endx, endy, endz, 0, 2, 255, 0, 0) 
            end 
        else 
            outputChatBox("You need to be in some sort of 18 Wheeler to take a job.", localPlayer) 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("You need to be in the load marker to get the trailer.", localPlayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("load", startLoading) 
  
function startUnLoading() 
    local person = localPlayer 
    local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer) 
    if isElementWithinMarker(localPlayer, endMarker) then 
        if vehicle then 
            if getVehicleTowingVehicle(trailer) == vehicle then 
                guiSetText(lblLoading, "Unloading...") 
                guiSetVisible(lblLoading, true) 
                setElementFrozen(vehicle, true) 
                setTimer(function () 
                    guiSetVisible(lblLoading, false) 
                    setElementFrozen(vehicle, false) 
                    detachTrailerFromVehicle(vehicle) 
                    destroyElement(trailer) 
                end, 10*1000, 1) 
                destroyElement(endMarker) 
                destroyElement(endBlip) 
                triggerServerEvent("finishRoute", localPlayer, person, cash) 
            end 
        end 
    else 
        outputChatBox("You need to be in the unload marker to unload the trailer.", localPlayer) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("unload", startUnLoading) 

and if it still isn't working, put this for the server side and tell me the results:

function finishLoad(person, cash) 
    outputChatBox ( tostring ( cash ) ) 
    givePlayerMoney(person, tonumber(cash)) 
end 
addEvent("finishRoute", true) 
addEventHandler("finishRoute", root, finishLoad)

Okay... It worked.. I guess the issue was that the "cash" variable wasn't in a string format so it was not converting correctly. It now works and I changed the code a little so it does not output to the chat. Thanks man.
