function x(f)
    local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()
    return (sx/1440) * f
end

function y(f)
    local sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()
    return (sy/900) * f
end

It's a simple notification script for a job with a command but there is a bug i can't fix which is  ')' expected near 'Requesting'  ,,please answer asap

check line 9:

the string is not correct and highlighted syntax makes it obvious

also i'm not sure if things like x(914.0) can be "accepted" from lua

[Deep thinker]

i did but i couldn't fix it in any kind of ways .

dxDrawText(name.." is requesting Medical Assistance in "..location,x(914.0),y(453.0+rand),x(1322.0),y(504.0),tocolor(0,205,0,theAlpha),x(1.3),"default-bold","center","center",false,false,false)

i don't understand the other arguments so i'm omitting them

Edit: OMG i'm blind sry did not see the functions below the handler function, edited the above code

thank you it worked perfectly but i need to fix anther thing in my server ,i have started a new chat resource but when i type something it repeat it self 3 or 2 times.

can you tell me a solution ?

[LoPollo]

With "new chat resource" do you mean a resource that replace the default chatbox? if it's handling onPlayerChat then post here or a new topic the handler function

[Deep thinker]

no i didn't replace anything ,i meant that there is 2 chat resources,i can't stop the old one to make the anther one work correctly.

got my point?

 

[LoPollo]

Tell me if i understand: when you send a message via chat it is handled (and displayed) by both the default chat and your resource? 

Could this help?

[Deep thinker]

Max: Test 
Max: test
Max: test
Max: test

when i said Test in Main chat it got repeated 4 times ,i wanna stop this repeating thing it's kinda annoying

[LoPollo]

yes, but is this in the default chat or in the resource-chat? or both?

[Deep thinker]

both

[LoPollo]

just to make sure, does stopping the resource of the chat prevent this?

[Deep thinker]

i stopped all the resources and started that chat resource.still bugged and out putting 2 messages instead of 1.

[LoPollo]

ok so post the handler function of onPlayerChat. 

also check if there are warnings or errors both serverside and clientside

I have checked the /debugscript 3 ,it didn't notice anything at all

Please answer as soon as possible.

[LoPollo]

server line 92: cancelEvent seems to not work therefore every chat message will be outputted twice. BUT that's not a script fault.

I decided to test starting from zero: tried the wiki example #2 and it does not work, calling wasEventCancelled returns false ( so the event was not cancelled)... i never used this kind of functions with the chat but i'm sure that's not the way they should work... so probably i'm missing something BIG or we found a BUG

Let's see if other people can say something about it... i honestly don't know how to handle it, and i can't find anything about this on mantis

Also i'm tired now, and lots of times i can't see what's below my nose (it sounds so bad in english, does this exists in this language? it means i can't see something obvious), maybe that's the case...
