Your code is not going to work.

* You just used an empty string in guiSetText, never actually used the variable from server-side.

* The variable client is never defined.

* You must define the variable that is being sent over in the brackets

-- CLIENT 
addEvent("test", true) 
addEventHandler("test",getRootElement(),function( myText ) -- make sure you define the variable from server-side up here in the brackets 
  
    local label = guiCreateLabel ( 0, 0, 1, 1, "", true ) 
    guiSetText(label, myText  ) -- just use the variable as if it was created here, client-side 
  
end) 
  
-- SERVER 
  
local text = "bla bla bla" 
triggerClientEvent ( root, "test", root, text) -- make sure you include the variable in the triggerClientEvent

Don't work..

Can you do it

test_c.lua

addEvent("test", true) 
addEventHandler("test",getRootElement(),function( myText ) -- make sure you define the variable from server-side up here in the brackets 
  
    local label = guiCreateLabel ( 0, 0, 1, 1, "", true ) 
    guiSetText(label, myText  ) -- just use the variable as if it was created here, client-side 
  
end) 

test_s.lua

local text = "bla bla bla" 
triggerClientEvent ( root, "test", root, text) -- make sure you include the variable in the triggerClientEvent

Thanks for all ! Succesfully work!! i'm fixed code

    local label = guiCreateLabel ( 0, 0, 1, 1, "", true ) 
    guiSetText(label, myText  ) -- just use the variable as if it was created here, client-side 
  
end) 

  
     function testt ( playerSource, commandName, playerName )

local label = guiCreateLabel ( 0, 0, 1, 1, "", true ) 
    guiSetText(label, myText  ) -- just use the variable as if it was created here, client-side) 

instead of creating a blank label and then entering the text why not just create the label with the text?

local label = guiCreateLabel ( 0, 0, 1, 1, myText, true ) 

[mehmet145]

Yes. Thanks for all

test_s.lua

local text = "bla bla bla" 
triggerClientEvent ( root, "test", root, text) -- make sure you include the variable in the triggerClientEvent 
  

Just for future reference, PLEASE read the debug before asking for help. It says in plain english that you triggered an event called "testa" ( yes, an extra A in the end ) but it was not added client-side, it was a typo.

Solvedd!!!! Thank you for your help

[Walid]

Solvedd!!!! Thank you for your help

it should be like this

function testt ( playerSource, commandName ) 
    local text = "You text here" 
    triggerClientEvent (playerSource, "test",playerSource, text) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "test", testt ) 

only who type the command can see it.
