Put this on the top of the script.

GUIEditor_Window = {}

i got warnings in line 100 and 105

bad argument guiGetVisible and guiSetVisible (expected gui-element at argument 1,got nil)

edit: nvm i fixed it by myself,thanks

[xTravax]

just one more thing

why do i keep getting error expected element at argument 2 but got nil?

function colt ( ) 
outputChatBox("Colt-45",localPlayer) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor.button[1], colt, false ) 

[TAPL]

Add the event after you create the button not before.

Also the function outputChatBox client side doesn't require player element.

[xTravax]

it's already under it

i have first function which guieditor resource made and my function is already under that function so button is already created but when i click on it it doesnt output anything as it gives that error - expected element at argument 2 but got nil

[TAPL]

I guess you created the button inside the event onClientResourceStart and added the event onClientGUIClick outside the event onClientResourceStart which mean the button won't get create until the resource started fully and you tried to attach the button to the event onClientGUIClick before the resource started fully so that you get the error.

yeah correct but, how do i fix this then?

function colt ( ) 
outputChatBox("Colt-45") 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor.button[1], colt, false )

function colt ( ) 
outputChatBox("Colt-45") 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", GUIEditor.button[1], colt, false ) 
  

i dont understand how would this fix the problem

the problem is it says (for addEventHandler: )element on argument 2 is nil - GUIEditor.button[1] <-- that one

and that button is already created in window but it still says that its nil

[TAPL]

yeah correct but, how do i fix this then?

Simply create the button outside the event onClientResourceStart but then you will need also to create the window outside the event because you are attaching the button to the window, Another option would be adding the event onClientGUIClick inside the event onClientResourceStart.

-- Like this ,

GUIEditor_Window = {} 
addEventHandler ( 'onClientGUIClick', resourceRoot, 
function ( ) 
if ( source == GUIEditor.button[1] ) then 
outputChatBox("Colt-45", 255, 255, 0 ) 
 end 
end 
) 
  
----- 
  
bindKey("F6","down", 
function ( ) 
if guiGetVisible ( GUIEditor_Window[1] ) == true then 
                guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor_Window[1], false ) 
                showCursor(false) 
                guiSetInputEnabled(false) 
        else 
                guiSetVisible ( GUIEditor_Window[1], true )  
                showCursor(true) 
                guiSetInputEnabled(true) 
            end 
        end 
        )
