Advertisment Gui

[PrivateKiller]

Hello! I have a problem. I don't know how to merge this, to make it work. I'm using it in serverside. Please help me

function Advertisment(thePlayer, commandName, ...) 
        local players = getElementsByType("player") 
        local playerName = getPlayerName ( thePlayer ) 
        local chatContent = {...} 
        for index, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
            outputChatBox( "Advertisment from " .. playerName.. ": " ..table.concat ( chatContent, " "), player, 0, 190, 40) 
        end 
    end 
addCommandHandler( "ad", Advertisment ) 
  
  
GUIEditor = { 
    button = {}, 
    window = {}, 
    memo = {} 
} 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(455, 192, 343, 133, "Advert cost 500€. Click button below to buy it!", false) 
        guiWindowSetSizable(GUIEditor.window[1], false) 
        guiSetAlpha(GUIEditor.window[1], 1.00) 
  
        GUIEditor.memo[1] = guiCreateMemo(20, 38, 304, 58, "", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        GUIEditor.button[1] = guiCreateButton(65, 102, 219, 21, "Buy Advert!", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[1], "default-bold-small")     
    end 
)

GUI is clientside.

Serverside:

        end 
    end 
addCommandHandler( "ad", Advertisment ) 
  

Client:

GUIEditor = { 
    button = {}, 
    window = {}, 
    memo = {} 
} 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(455, 192, 343, 133, "Advert cost 500€. Click button below to buy it!", false)

Study triggerClientEvent, which is about communication between serverside to clientside.

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/TriggerClientEvent

Watch the examples with care.

I watched some turtorials, and that's all what I did, but gui still won't open. Help please?

Client=

GUIEditor = {

 btnOutput = guiCreateButton(65, 102, 219, 21, "Buy Advert!", true) 
 addEventHandler ("inClientGUIClick", btnOutput, outputEditBox, false ) 
editBox=guiCreateEdit(20, 38, 304, 58, "Type your advert here", true) 
guiEditSetMaxLength ( editBox, 30 ) 
end 
  
 addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource()),initGUI )

"inClientGUIClick" such event does not exist.

And you have a function to create GUI code without a event handler.

Why do you even have two set of GUI code anyway?

How can I make it work then?

I don't get it... Seems that will not happen anything with my wish to learn scripting... I thought that someone will give me an example how to do it, or something like that...

Take a look at the difference between the codes (test my code and check if that is what you wanted, if it is then go to wiki and read about the functions).

Your client side:

GUIEditor = { 
    button = {}, 
    window = {}, 
    memo = {} 
} 
  
function initGUI( ) 
 btnOutput = guiCreateButton(65, 102, 219, 21, "Buy Advert!", true) 
 addEventHandler ("inClientGUIClick", btnOutput, outputEditBox, false ) 
editBox=guiCreateEdit(20, 38, 304, 58, "Type your advert here", true) 
guiEditSetMaxLength ( editBox, 30 ) 
end 
  
 addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement( getThisResource()),initGUI ) 
  
function outputEditBox ( button ) 
  if button = "left" then 
    local text = guiGetText ( editBox ) 
    outputChatBox ( text ) 
  end 
end 
  
 function() 
        GUIEditor.window[1] = guiCreateWindow(455, 192, 343, 133, "Advert cost 500. Click button below to buy it!", false) 
        guiWindowSetSizable(GUIEditor.window[1], false) 
        guiSetAlpha(GUIEditor.window[1], 1.00) 
  
        GUIEditor.memo[1] = guiCreateMemo(20, 38, 304, 58, "", false, GUIEditor.window[1]) 
        btnOutput = guiCreateButton(65, 102, 219, 21, "Buy Advert!", true) 
        guiSetFont(GUIEditor.button[1], "default-bold-small")     
    end 
) 

Your server side:

function Advertisment(thePlayer, commandName, ...) 
        local players = getElementsByType("player") 
        local playerName = getPlayerName ( thePlayer ) 
        local chatContent = {...} 
        for index, player in ipairs ( players ) do 
            outputChatBox( "Advertisment from " .. playerName.. ": " ..table.concat ( chatContent, " "), player, 0, 190, 40) 
        end 
    end 
addCommandHandler( "ad", Advertisment ) 

My client side:

function GUI() 
    Window = guiCreateWindow(455, 192, 343, 133, "Advert costs 500. Click the button below to buy it!", false) 
    guiWindowSetSizable(Window, false) 
    guiSetAlpha(Window, 1.00) 
  
    Memo = guiCreateMemo(20, 38, 304, 58, "", false, Window) 
    Button = guiCreateButton(65, 102, 219, 21, "Buy Advert!", false, Window) 
    guiSetFont(Button, "default-bold-small")     
    showCursor(true) 
    addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",Button,buttonClick,false) 
end 
addCommandHandler("ad",GUI) 
  
function buttonClick() 
    if getPlayerMoney(localPlayer) >= 500 then 
    local memoText = guiGetText(Memo) 
    triggerServerEvent("AD",localPlayer,localPlayer,memoText) 
    guiSetVisible(Window,false) 
    showCursor(false) 
    else 
    outputChatBox("#0000FF[AD]#00FF00 You need more money.",0,255,0,true) 
    end 
end 

My server side:

addEvent("AD",true) 
addEventHandler("AD",getRootElement(), 
function (p,text) 
        setPlayerMoney(p,getPlayerMoney(p)-500) 
        outputChatBox("#0000FF[AD] #FFFFFF"..getPlayerName(p)..": #00FF00"..text,root,0,255,0,true) 
    end 
)
