triggerServerEvent(SOLVED)

[undefined]

Hi guys.

Im work on the this project. But;

When the player click on the weap.image or weap.label, client say's Test 1 but the server is not say Test 2 or Test 3. So triggerServerEvent is not work. It's not give error or warning on debug.

Here is my code:

---------------------------------------- 
-- Client-Side 
---------------------------------------- 
local onMouseTable = {{personality, "personality", "Personality"}, {pistol, "pistol", "Pistol"}, {deagle, "deagle", "Deagle"}, {uzi, "uzi", "UZI"}, {shotgun, "shotgun", "Shotgun"}, {ak47, "ak47", "AK-47"}, {m4, "m4", "M4"}} 
function onClickSkill(btn, state, aX, aY) 
    for k=1,#onMouseTable do 
        local weap = onMouseTable[k][1] 
        for i=1,#weap.image do 
            if source == weap.image[i] or source == weap.label[i] then 
                if lockedSkills(onMouseTable[k][2], onMouseTable[k][3], i) then 
                    triggerServerEvent("giveSkill", gMe, gMe, skillCosts, onMouseTable[k][2], i, weap.image[i]) 
                    outputChatBox("Test 1", 255, 168, 0) 
                end 
                break 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

---------------------------------------- 
-- Server-Side 
---------------------------------------- 
addEvent("giveSkill", true) 
addEventHandler("giveSkill", getRootElement(), function(player, skillCosts, skillName, skillLevel, image) 
    local amount = skillCosts[skillName][skillLevel][1] 
    local skillMoney = skillCosts[skillName][skillLevel][2] 
    local skillStat = skillCosts[skillName][skillLevel][3] 
    outputChatBox("Test 2", player, 255, 168, 0) 
    if skillName == "personality" then 
        outputChatBox("Test 3", player, 255, 168, 0) 
        local spawnArmor = skillCosts[skillName][skillLevel][4] 
        takePlayerMoney(player, skillMoney) 
        setElementData(player, skillName, skillLevel) 
        setPedStat(player, 24, skillStat) 
        callClientFunction(player, "boughtSkill", image) 
    end 
end) 

Where is the problem?

Where is "gMe" defined?

[darhal]

triggerServerEvent("giveSkill", localPlayer, gMe, otherArguments) 

[undefined]

Where is "gMe" defined?

local gMe = getLocalPlayer() 

triggerServerEvent("giveSkill", localPlayer, gMe, otherArguments) 

Not work!

triggerServerEvent("giveSkill",  resourceRoot,localPlayer, skillCosts, onMouseTable[k][2], i, weap.image[i]) 
  

local player as source uses more memory. If client and server files are within same resource then using resourceRoot is more efficient.

Not work!

When the im removed the arguements on triggerServerEvent;

Like this:

local onMouseTable = {{personality, "personality", "Personality"}, {pistol, "pistol", "Pistol"}, {deagle, "deagle", "Deagle"}, {uzi, "uzi", "UZI"}, {shotgun, "shotgun", "Shotgun"}, {ak47, "ak47", "AK-47"}, {m4, "m4", "M4"}} 
function onClickSkill(btn, state, aX, aY) 
    for k=1,#onMouseTable do 
        local weap = onMouseTable[k][1] 
        for i=1,#weap.image do 
            if source == weap.image[i] or source == weap.label[i] then 
                if lockedSkills(onMouseTable[k][2], onMouseTable[k][3], i) then 
                    triggerServerEvent("giveSkill",  gMe) 
                    outputChatBox("Test 1", 255, 168, 0) 
                end 
                break 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

Server-Side is give this error:

ERROR: test\test_s.lua:3: attempt to index local 'skillCosts' (a nil value) 

addEvent("giveSkill", true) 
addEventHandler("giveSkill", getRootElement(), function(player, skillCosts, skillName, skillLevel, image) 
    local amount = skillCosts[skillName][skillLevel][1] -- Line 3 
    local skillMoney = skillCosts[skillName][skillLevel][2] 
    local skillStat = skillCosts[skillName][skillLevel][3] 
    outputChatBox("Test 2", player, 255, 168, 0) 
    if skillName == "personality" then 
        outputChatBox("Test 3", player, 255, 168, 0) 
        local spawnArmor = skillCosts[skillName][skillLevel][4] 
        takePlayerMoney(player, skillMoney) 
        setElementData(player, skillName, skillLevel) 
        setPedStat(player, 24, skillStat) 
        callClientFunction(player, "boughtSkill", image) 
    end 
end) 

So triggerServerEvent is work. But i dont understand this problem. Pff

Where is the problem?

                end 
                break 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 

Server-Side is give this error:

end) 

So triggerServerEvent is work. But i dont understand this problem. Pff

Where is the problem?

Just like I told you already use resourceRoot. Where is skillCosts defined?

[undefined]

It's here:

Removed 

Give this error when the im removed the other arguements. For example: skillCosts, i, onMouseTable. So the error is not due to skillcosts.

ERROR: test\test_s.lua:3: attempt to index local 'skillCosts' (a nil value)

if it is not in the same file/ not higher in the code, put the table as a global.

It's in the same file.

[IIYAMA]

did you changed the variable somewhere?

Nope.

Help pls

[IIYAMA]

is your table on top of your code?

Im found the mistake.

Mistake is in the weap.image.

local personality = { 
    label = {}, 
    image = {} 
} 
createSkillLevelButton(personality, 162, 53) 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), function() 
    skillWindow = guiCreateWindow(396, 129, 734, 451, "Skill System [F7]", false) 
    guiWindowSetSizable(skillWindow, false) 
    guiSetVisible(skillWindow, false) 
    createSkillLevelButton(personality, 162, 53) 
end) 
  
function createSkillLevelButton(weap, x, y) 
    for i=1, 6 do 
        weap.image[i] = guiCreateStaticImage(x, y, 82, 20, "wep_sel.png", false, skillWindow) 
        guiSetAlpha(weap.image[i], 1.0) 
        weap.label[i] = guiCreateLabel(20, 3, 42, 14, "Level "..i, false, weap.image[i]) 
        guiLabelSetColor(weap.label[i], 255, 255, 255) 
        guiSetFont(weap.label[i], "default-bold-small") 
        guiLabelSetHorizontalAlign(weap.label[i], "center", false) 
         
        addEventHandler("onClientMouseEnter", weap.image[i], onMouseEnterSkill) 
        addEventHandler("onClientMouseLeave", weap.image[i], onMouseLeaveSkill) 
        addEventHandler("onClientMouseEnter", weap.label[i], onMouseEnterSkill) 
        addEventHandler("onClientMouseLeave", weap.label[i], onMouseLeaveSkill) 
        addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", weap.image[i], onClickSkill) 
         
        if i == 6 then return end 
        x = x + 92 
    end 
end 

When the im add the weap.image arguement, it's not work. Here is my create image code.

Help!
