code:

  
GUIEditor = { 
    button = {}, 
    window = {}, 
    label = {} 
} 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(222, 217, 378, 192, "get bike", false) 
        guiWindowSetSizable(GUIEditor.window[1], false) 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.window[1], "CaptionColour", "FFFA1818") 
  
        GUIEditor.button[1] = guiCreateButton(57, 88, 109, 57, "GET NRG", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        GUIEditor.button[2] = guiCreateButton(224, 93, 126, 52, "GET FCR", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        GUIEditor.label[1] = guiCreateLabel(87, 4, 206, 15, "", false, GUIEditor.window[1])     
    end 
) 

my problem is that how do i link those command to those buttons?

like when i click on get nrg button the server automatically does /getnrg and give me nrg

[Castillo]

You can use the function

executeCommandHandler 

Use onClientGUIClick to link the button to a function.

thanks bind key is working

[Mr.unpredictable.]

can you fix this i just made for linking the button to the command, sorry if i'm asking too many question , i am not that good lua scripter.

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor.button[1], getnrggui, false ) 
  
  
  function getnrggui () 
    executeCommandHandler("getnrg",playersource) 
end 

the commands are in server side so not sure if it will work

[Castillo]

You can't execute server-side commands from the client side.

[Mr.unpredictable.]

You can't execute server-side commands from the client side.

then how do link those buttons?

[Castillo]

You can use triggerServerEvent and execute the command server-side.

[Mr.unpredictable.]

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor.button[1], getnrggui, false ) 
  
  
  function getnrggui () 
    triggerServerEvent ( "getbike", localPlayer )  
end 

is this correct

[Castillo]

The addEventHandler has to go inside the function where you create the GUI.

[Mr.unpredictable.]

new code

  
addEvent('startdraw',true) 
addEvent('stopdraw',true) 
local screenx,screeny = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
GUIEditor = { 
    button = {}, 
    window = {}, 
    label = {} 
} 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(222, 217, 378, 192, "get bike", false) 
        guiWindowSetSizable(GUIEditor.window[1], false) 
        guiSetProperty(GUIEditor.window[1], "CaptionColour", "FFFA1818") 
        GUIEditor.button[1] = guiCreateButton(57, 88, 109, 57, "GET NRG", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        GUIEditor.button[2] = guiCreateButton(224, 93, 126, 52, "GET FCR", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        GUIEditor.label[1] = guiCreateLabel(87, 4, 206, 15, "", false, GUIEditor.window[1])     
    end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor.button[1], getnrggui, false ) 
end 
) 
  
bindKey ( "F2", "down", 
    function ( ) 
        local state = ( not guiGetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1] ) ) 
        guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor.window[1], state ) 
        showCursor ( state ) 
    end 
) 
  
function getnrggui () 
    triggerServerEvent ( "getbike", localPlayer ) 
end) 

not working

[Castillo]

You got 1 extra end before addEventHandler, remove it.

[Mr.unpredictable.]

it's not working can i use this function to link server side command to client side gui button ?

callServerFunction

[Castillo]

Maybe you can, but I'm not sure how good is it.
