[HELP] Can't pass arguments

[LabiVila]

Hey guys, can you help me how to pass the two arguments betted and amount? And a small explanation would do the job

I actually don't need to set them as zero because I already have them at the server-side as arguments but just can't put them like:

function text (betted, amount)

dxDrawText ("asd"..betted, x/3...

end

I wanna make it like this

[Saml1er]

  
    dxDrawText (betted.." / "..amount, x/3, y/3, x, y, tocolor (255, 255, 255))  

[Et-win]

  
    dxDrawText (tostring(betted).." / "..tostring(amount), x/3, y/3, x, y, tocolor (255, 255, 255))  

You forgot using 'tostring'

[IIYAMA]

@Et-win

Doesn't matter, if the values are something else then numbers/strings, it should not render in the first place. (checked with tonumber) If the argument is a number it will automatic be transferred to a string, while using ".."

actually don't need to set them as zero because I already have them at the server-side as arguments

@LabiVila

Server-side arguments are useless to client-side.

[LabiVila]

Tried that already Sam but didn't work, Ilyama, how can manage to create those in client-side then? or is it possible any other way of passing those two arguments to client side?

[IIYAMA]

triggerClientEvent 
setElementData 

[LabiVila]

I know I'm looking for too much already but would you mind doing a small preview of it? I actually can't use proper setElementData nor getElementData..

[IIYAMA]

--server

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function () 
local variable = "lol" 
setElementData(resourceRoot,"thisIsFunny",variable) 
end) 
  

--client

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function() 
variable = getElementData(resourceRoot,"thisIsFunny") 
end) 

[Saml1er]

Don't worry. It takes time to learn basics. You can find online tutorials for more info and also try to read the same text again and again until you understand it completely ( if you don't then feel free to ask here ) and also run script and read about elements, variables ( global and local and how you access them) on wiki. MTA has predefined variables ( like resourceRoot, root and localPlayer ).
