function ylay() 
   wa = guiCreateButton( 0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "Output!", true ) 
   
  
    showCursor(true) 
end 
 function wia() 
      destroyElement (wa) 
      showCursor(false) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "y", ylay ) 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick",wa,wia) 
  
     

[waleedrt]

i meat it creates the buttom i think thats the problem

addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick",wa,wia) 

[Bean666]

what's that wa , wia? tell us what exactly u want to do. and wtf are you doing.

[Bean666]

don't do destroyelement on GUIs. i don't understand what you're trying to do but here's an example

addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick",wa,function() 
    if ( source == wa) then 
           guiSetVisible(wa,false) 
           showCursor(false) 
       end 
   end ) 

[waleedrt]

i want when i press the button it destroys its like an exit button, and wa wia should it mean something?

you don't need destroyElement when you can hide it with guiSetVisible

local Button = guiCreateButton( 0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "Output!", true ) 
guiSetVisible(Button,false) 
  
function create() 
    guiSetVisible(Button,true) 
    showCursor(true) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "y", create ) 
  
function delete() 
    showCursor(false) 
    guiSetVisible(Button,false) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Button, delete, false)

Hey,

the problem with your script is that the wa variable doesn't exist when the addCommandHandler line gets executed, you can evade this like this:

function ylay() 
   wa = guiCreateButton( 0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "Output!", true ) 
   showCursor(true) 
end 
 function wia() 
      if (source == wa) then --Checks if it is the button we are looking for or not 
      destroyElement (wa) 
      showCursor(false) 
      end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "y", ylay ) 
addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick",root,wia)  

see?, I used root as the second argument of the eventhandler so we don't get any error, and checked inside the function if the wa variable is the button we are looking for or not by using source.

it's a button and not a marker, why do you need to do destroyelement on a button when you can use

  
guiSetVisible

      destroyElement (wa) 
      showCursor(false)

end 
addCommandHandler ( "y", ylay ) 
addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick",root,wia)

but i wanted it to work when click the button ,and if i used root it will work wherever i press.

i don't want to use this script, i just want to know why it doesn't work

cuz i have many problems like this when i,m trying to make like those scripts

You have only one button without parents in your code and you will click only on this button

i just want to know why my code isn't working, that's it

[Feher]

yes, but I've added an extra if inside the function which checks if the clicked element is the button you created

if (source == wa) then 

and yea, I don't know why did I use the marker word instead of the button thx for saying(edited)

[BEN.]

it's work as you wanted

i just want to know why my code isn't working, that's it

You have one button without any parents.Your button as guiRoot

function ylay() 
    wa = guiCreateButton( 0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "Output!", true ) 
    showCursor(true) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "y", ylay ) 
  
function wia() 
          destroyElement (wa) 
          showCursor(false) 
end 
addEventHandler ("onClientGUIClick",guiRoot,wia)
