Triggering and GUI things, please help!

[Dzsozi (h03)]

Hello guys! I have the basketball that you can download from community and I want to edit this a little bit. I want it work with gui, so you can pickup the ball by clicking on a button. My only problem is that it doesn't want to work in the way I want to and I can't fix it. Where is the problem? When the button appears and if I click it nothing happens. Can anybody help me please?

Client side script:

  
local x, y = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
function drawNotice( ) 
    pickupBtn = guiCreateButton(x-208, y-215, 50, 50, "Pick up", false) 
    addEventHandler("onClientGuiClick", pickupBtn, pickup) 
end 
addEvent("notify:basket", true) 
addEventHandler("notify:basket", getLocalPlayer(), drawNotice) 
  
function removeNotice( ) 
    guiSetVisible(pickupBtn, false) 
end 
addEvent("removenotify:basket", true) 
addEventHandler("removenotify:basket", getLocalPlayer(), removeNotice) 
  
function pickup( thePlayer ) 
    triggerServerEvent(root, "pickupBall", thePlayer) 
end 
  

The pickupBall function from the server side script:

  
function pickupBall( thePlayer, commandName ) 
    if (isElementWithinColShape(thePlayer, ballCol1) or isElementWithinColShape(thePlayer, ballCol2) or isElementWithinColShape(thePlayer, ballCol3) or isElementWithinColShape(thePlayer, ballCol4)) then 
        exports.global:applyAnimation( thePlayer, "BSKTBALL", "BBALL_pickup", 1000, false, true, true) 
        exports['anticheat-system']:changeProtectedElementDataEx(thePlayer, "throwing:ball", 0, true) 
             
        setTimer(function() 
            local playerX, playerY, playerZ = getElementPosition( thePlayer ) 
            local basketball = createObject(3065, playerX, playerY, playerZ) 
                     
            ball[thePlayer] = basketball 
                     
            -- Place the ball near his right hand 
            attachElements( ball[thePlayer], thePlayer, 0.40, .30, -0.10) 
                     
            -- Animation 
            exports.global:applyAnimation( thePlayer, "BSKTBALL", "BBALL_walk", -1, true, true, true) 
         
            -- He is playing.. 
            exports['anticheat-system']:changeProtectedElementDataEx(thePlayer, "playing:ball", 1, true) 
                     
            -- Start dribbling 
            dribbleDown( thePlayer ) 
                 
            -- Movement binds 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "a", "down", turnLeft) 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "a", "up", stopLeft) 
                 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "d", "down", turnRight) 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "d", "up", stopRight) 
                 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "w", "down", run) 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "s", "down", walk) 
             
            -- Shoot binds 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "mouse2", "down", shootShort) 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "mouse1", "down", shootMedium) 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "h", "down", shootLong)  
                 
            -- Pass  
            bindKey(thePlayer, "z", "down", passBall) 
            bindKey(thePlayer, "x", "down", passStance) 
                 
            -- Run/walk identifiers 
            exports['anticheat-system']:changeProtectedElementDataEx(thePlayer, "basketball:walk", 1, true) 
        end, 1500, 1) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("pickupBall", true) 
addEventHandler("pickupBall", thePlayer, pickupBall) 
  

So how can I make it work with gui? Thanks in advance!

There is a big problem here you are trying to trigger a server event that is an element. Root is an element not a server event the player should be localPlayer.

  
function pickup( thePlayer ) 
    triggerServerEvent(root, "pickupBall", thePlayer) 
end 
  

So try this.

  
function pickup() 
    triggerServerEvent( "pickupBall", localPlayer, localPlayer) 
end

It's still not working.

The event name is "onClientGUIClick" and not "onClientGuiClick".

You also didn't need to pass any arguments to the pickup function, because the player who clicked the button would be localPlayer in all cases.

Use this client-side code.

local x, y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local pickupBtn 
function drawNotice( ) 
    pickupBtn = guiCreateButton(x-208, y-215, 50, 50, "Pick up", false) 
    addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", pickupBtn, 
    function(button, state) 
        if button == "left" and state == "down" then 
            pickup() 
        end 
    end) 
end 
addEvent("notify:basket", true) 
addEventHandler("notify:basket", getLocalPlayer(), drawNotice) 
  
function removeNotice( ) 
    guiSetVisible(pickupBtn, false) 
end 
addEvent("removenotify:basket", true) 
addEventHandler("removenotify:basket", getLocalPlayer(), removeNotice) 
  
function pickup() 
    triggerServerEvent("pickupBall", localPlayer, localPlayer) 
end 

You should also remove commandName from the server-side function arguments, as well as use source in pickupBall instead of sending the localPlayer twice as source and as an argument.

EDIT: I think this is also the vG/rG script.

It's still not working, I removed commandName from server side function arguments, but still not working. What could be the problem?

Line 49 in your server-side snippet. addEventHandler("pickupBall", true) should be corrected to:

addEvent("pickupBall", true) 

You should also type /debugscript 3, ingame for info and errors.

We don't give support with leaked scripts.

I locked it, but please make your report a little more informative next time, also I would like to know what it is a leak from, more than just a leak.
