GUI not showing up

[Bean666]

hello. when i hit the marker with colshape, the GUI doesn't show up.

server

theMarker = createMarker( 2492.1240234375, -1670.7578125, 12.3, "cylinder", 1.5, 0, 255, 0, 80 ) 
local theShape = getElementColShape( theMarker ) 
  
function oncolhit (player, hitElement) 
if getElementType ( player ) == "player" then 
triggerClientEvent(player, "showGUI", player) 
end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onColShapeHit", theShape, oncolhit) 

client:

addEvent("showGUI", true) 
function guishow(player) 
guiSetVisible(classWnd, true) 
showCursor(true) 
end 
addEventHandler("showGUI",getRootElement(),guishow)

No warning or error?

Try debugging by adding ouputChatBox if the function is called or not

no warning. nothing shows up in debug.

The marker might not have been created. It happens sometimes.

  
theMarker = createMarker( 2492.1240234375, -1670.7578125, 12.3, "cylinder", 1.5, 0, 255, 0, 80 ) 
theShape = nil 
  
function oncolhit (player, hitElement) 
    if getElementType ( player ) == "player" then 
        triggerClientEvent(player, "showGUI", player) 
    end 
end 
  
setTimer( 
    function( ) 
        theShape = getElementColShape( theMarker ) 
        addEventHandler ("onColShapeHit", theShape, oncolhit) 
    end 
, 1000, 1)

not working.

I think its a bug, because i try using that in server it doesnt trigger the onColShapeHit but it works if the marker created in client.

Aight... thanks for the info. i hope it'll be fixed soon if it's a bug, but i think it's not.

Actually you should use the event onMarkerHit directly on the marker instead of getting the colshape of it and then use onColShapeHit on that colshape:

theMarker = createMarker( 2492.1240234375, -1670.7578125, 12.3, "cylinder", 1.5, 0, 255, 0, 80 ) 
  
function onmarkerhit( hitElement ) 
    if getElementType( hitElement ) == "player" then 
        triggerClientEvent(hitElement, "showGUI", hitElement) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onMarkerHit", theMarker, onmarkerhit) 

onColShapeHit was meant to be used with colshapes you created with these colshapes functions:

createColCircle 
createColCuboid 
createColRectangle 
createColSphere 
createColTube 
createColPolygon 

But yeah adding an onColShapeHit on a maker's colshape should works too, this bug needs to be investigated.
