Client Side scripts are not working at all

[vinigas]

I'm not new in programming.

MTA:SA client is getting my scripts from server but they seems like not processing at all. I am trying to create just simple GUI window.

function createLoginWindow()
	local X = 0.375
	local Y = 0.375
	local Width = 0.25
	local Height = 0.25
	wdwLogin = guiCreateWindow(X, Y, Width, Height, "Please Log In", true)
	
	-- define new X and Y positions for the first label
	X = 0.0825
	Y = 0.2
	-- define new Width and Height values for the first label
	Width = 0.25
	Height = 0.25
	-- create the first label, note the final argument passed is 'wdwLogin' meaning the window
	-- we created above is the parent of this label (so all the position and size values are now relative to the position of that window)
	guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Username", true, wdwLogin)
	-- alter the Y value, so the second label is slightly below the first
	Y = 0.5
	guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Password", true, wdwLogin)
	

	X = 0.415
	Y = 0.2
	Width = 0.5
	Height = 0.15
	edtUser = guiCreateEdit(X, Y, Width, Height, "", true, wdwLogin)
	Y = 0.5
	edtPass = guiCreateEdit(X, Y, Width, Height, "", true, wdwLogin)
	-- set the maximum character length for the username and password fields to 50
	guiEditSetMaxLength(edtUser, 50)
	guiEditSetMaxLength(edtPass, 50)
	
	X = 0.415
	Y = 0.7
	Width = 0.25
	Height = 0.2
	btnLogin = guiCreateButton(X, Y, Width, Height, "Log In", true, wdwLogin)
	
	-- make the window invisible
	guiSetVisible(wdwLogin, false)
end

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRoot(),
    function()
		createLoginWindow()
		
		-- output a brief welcome message to the player
		outputChatBox("Welcome to My MTA:SA Server, please log in.")

		-- if the GUI was successfully created, then show the GUI to the player
	        if (wdwLogin ~= nil) then
			guiSetVisible(wdwLogin, true)
		else
			-- if the GUI hasnt been properly created, tell the player
			outputChatBox("An unexpected error has occurred and the log in GUI has not been created.")
	        end 

    end
)

Server have only this clientside script and one serverside script in the same resource which is working fine.

Then I join server I don't see any GUI. I can't even see any chat output's.

Try attaching the onClientResourceStart event to 

getResourceRootElement(getThisResource())
-- tip: there's a pre-defined variable for the above: resourceRoot

instead of 

getResourceRoot()

It worked.

Also found another another thing I did wrong: i used function(){} format instead of function()end

 

Thanks.
