give player money when they click button b on w

As far as i'm concerned you don't even need the Server-side event to give money, you can give money to the player client-side

  
function panel() 
     w = guiCreateWindow(x,y,w,h,"money",false) 
     b =guiCreateButton(x,y,w,h,"moneyb", true, w) 
end 
  
function trigger () 
     if source == b then 
          givePlayerMoney(10000, localPlayer) 
     end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", guiRoot, trigger) 
  

If you have further problems than this, please post the full code

The money will not be synchronized with the server side, it will be only set to the client.

 -- Client-side 
function panel() 
    w = guiCreateWindow(x,y,w,h,"money",false) 
    b = guiCreateButton(x,y,w,h,"moneyb", false, w) 
    showCursor(true) 
     
    addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", b,  
    function() 
        triggerServerEvent("moneyhere", localPlayer) 
        destroyElement(w) 
        showCursor(false) 
    end, false) 
end 
  
-- Server-side 
function givemoney() 
    if source == client then 
        givePlayerMoney(source, 10000) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("moneyhere",true) 
addEventHandler("moneyhere", root, givemoney)

I don't clearly understand why need this check:

if source == client then

But this small check helped me to fix my trouble. Thanks!

You should use the global variable client serverside instead of passing the localPlayer by parameter.

 -- Client-side 
function panel() 
    w = guiCreateWindow(x,y,w,h,"money",false) 
    b = guiCreateButton(x,y,w,h,"moneyb", false, w) 
    showCursor(true) 
     
    addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", b,  
    function() 
        triggerServerEvent("moneyhere", resourceRoot) 
        destroyElement(w) 
        showCursor(false) 
    end, false) 
end 
  
-- Server-side 
function givemoney()  
    givePlayerMoney(client, 10000) 
end 
addEvent("moneyhere",true) 
addEventHandler("moneyhere", resourceRoot, givemoney)

Got problems in my script when changed second argument for  "triggerServerEvent" to "resourceRoot" and removed "if source == client then "  check.

So I use the same way as in @DNL291's example. Mystery.

Server receive different userdata, but it should be the same, because the same player element passed.

P.S.

outputChatBox( tostring(client) )

For triggerServerEvent, client is always set. i.e.:

triggerServerEvent("EventName" , localPlayer)

• source is localPlayer
• client is localPlayer

triggerServerEvent("EventName" , resourceRoot or root)

• source is resourceRoot or root
• client is localPlayer

[AleksCore]

Yes, I know. Thanks anyways! 

Mystery was in my mistake. Event was triggering 'onClientColShapeHit' and I totally forgot to make sure hitElement == localPlayer.
