        dxDrawText("Password", 480, 507, 597, 552, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, bigfont, "center", "center", false, false, true, false, false)

    function() 
    if source == login or source == register then 
    outputChatBox("Test !!") 
    end 
    end)

Where are 'login' and 'register' defined?

Ow and btw, you know you are adding the 'addEventHandler's now by every frame? That's really bad.

So i have to add the Event on onClientRender with Dx ?

[Et-win]

No...

Is this actually the real code? Because that addEventHandler has not to be on the function which is on onClientRender.

You want see the real ?

dxDrawText 

This code returns a boolean only. (true or false) This means you cannot use it as element to check or it was pressed. You have to do this with positions or GUI.

i tried rectangle

Also 'dxDrawRectangle' returns a boolean only. Almost all DX codes do that.

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", root, function() 
    local gCursor_pX, gCursor_pY = getCursorPosition() 
480, 590, 122, 52 
    if (gCursor_pX > 480) and (gCursor_pY > 590) and (gCursor_pX < 480+122) and (gCursor_pY < 590+52) then 
        outputChatBox("Test !!") 
    end 
end) 

This would work in your case. (If I didn't do anything wrong) Atleast you can understand what I'm trying to do out of this. I'm checking or the cursor is between the 'dxDrawRectangle' (Login Button) code as soon as you clicked.

If you are going to do it on this way, I prefer a variable for the positions, because if you ever want to change the positions, you don't have to change all positions in the script, only the variable you would have to change by then.

Not Working

If you type /debugscript 3 you get any errors. Then you would know I forgot to remove "480, 590, 122, 52" out of my code, lol.

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", root, function() 
    local gCursor_pX, gCursor_pY = getCursorPosition() 
    if (gCursor_pX > 480) and (gCursor_pY > 590) and (gCursor_pX < 480+122) and (gCursor_pY < 590+52) then 
        outputChatBox("Test !!") 
    end 
end)

    end 
end) 

i removed them

if i tried:

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", root, function() 
    local gCursor_pX, gCursor_pY = getCursorPosition() 
    outputChatBox(gCursor_pX.." "..gCursor_pY) 
    end 
end) 

it output only on GUI elements only !!

Anything on /debugscript 3? Did you look?

Try this:

outputChatBox(tostring(gCursor_pX).." "..tostring(gCursor_pY))

Change 'onClientGUIClick' to 'onClientClick'. Forgot that it indeed only clicks on GUI.

now it's output but it's output only between 0 and 1 mean if center x= 0.5 and y 0.5

remember that my screen size is: 1280 X 1024

You can think about some math too

local gCursor_pX, gCursor_pY = getCursorPosition() 
local sWidth, sHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
gCursor_pX, gCursor_pY = gCursor_pX*sWidth, gCursor_pY*sHeight

gCursor_pX, gCursor_pY = gCursor_pX*sWidth, gCursor_pY*sHeight 

works !!!!!!! ty

hint:math is useful everywhere

You're welcome.

By the way, you can also create a GUI button on the same spot as the 'dxDrawRectangle'. Just make it invisible. Also always check with 'isElement' or the button has been created, if not, create it. Then you can just use 'onClientGUIClick'. As soon as you remove the 'dxDrawRectangle' code (When you remove the login screen) then destroy the GUI button with 'destroyElement'.
