[undefined]

Hi Guys.

Im work on the help panel.

I tried to make the opening of the panel to be transparent. But the "R" Nothing happens when I press the button. Also its not give error and warning on debugscript.

Im how to make the transparent opening?

function open() 
    if (guiGetVisible (helpMenu) == true) then 
        if guiGetAlpha(helpMenu) >= 65 then  
        setTimer(function()  
        if not guiGetAlpha(helpMenu) <= 0 then 
        guiSetAlpha(helpMenu, (guiGetAlpha(helpMenu)-5)) 
        end 
        end,50,0) 
            guiSetVisible(helpMenu, false) 
            showCursor(false) 
        end 
    elseif (guiGetVisible (helpMenu) == false) then 
        if guiGetAlpha(helpMenu) <= 0 then  
        setTimer(function()  
        if not guiGetAlpha(helpMenu) >= 65 then 
        guiSetAlpha(helpMenu, (guiGetAlpha(helpMenu)+5)) 
        end 
        end,50,0) 
            guiSetVisible(helpMenu, true) 
            showCursor(true) 
        end 
    end 
end 
bindKey ("R", "down", open)

Try

local timer; 
  
function open() 
    if (guiGetVisible (helpMenu) == true) then 
        if isTimer ( timer ) then killTimer ( timer ) end 
        timer = setTimer(function()  
        if not guiGetAlpha(helpMenu) <= 0 then 
           guiSetAlpha(helpMenu, (guiGetAlpha(helpMenu)-5)) 
         else 
            guiSetVisible(helpMenu, false) 
            showCursor(false) 
            killTimer(timer) 
        end 
        end,50,0) 
    elseif (guiGetVisible (helpMenu) == false) then 
        if isTimer ( timer ) then killTimer ( timer ) end  
        timer = setTimer(function()  
        if not guiGetAlpha(helpMenu) >= 65 then 
           guiSetAlpha(helpMenu, (guiGetAlpha(helpMenu)+5)) 
         else 
            guiSetVisible(helpMenu, true) 
            showCursor(true) 
            killTimer(timer) 
        end 
        end,50,0)

Bro alpha lie between 0-1

Read the wiki guiSetAlpha. The alpha given to this function should range from 0 to 1.

P.S : u can use function ( setAlphaGradually ) for all GUI Elements .

setAlphaGradually = function( element, Speed ) 
  if ( isElement( element ) and getElementType( element ):find( "gui-" ) and tonumber( Speed ) and tonumber( Speed ) >= 50 ) then 
    if ( isTimer( Timer ) ) then killTimer( Timer ) end 
     guiSetAlpha ( element, 0 ) 
     Timer = setTimer ( function (   )  
        guiSetAlpha ( element, guiGetAlpha ( element ) + 0.03 ) 
          if ( guiGetAlpha ( element ) == 1 ) then 
               killTimer( Timer ) 
           end 
        end, Speed, 0 ) 
     else 
        return false       
   end 
end 
         
bindKey( "R", "down", function(  ) 
    setAlphaGradually( helpMenu, 70 ) 
    guiSetVisible( helpMenu, not guiGetVisible( helpMenu ) ) 
    showCursor( guiGetVisible( helpMenu ) ) 
end )

Is the MTA Forum becoming the new Twittter or something?
