end
  end
  triggerServerEvent("createCharacter", source, charname, gender, skin)
end
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, createCharacterFunction)

 

SERVER SIDE

function createCharacter(charname, gender, skin)
if charname and gender and skin then
local query = dbQuery(db, "INSERT INTO characters (name, gender, skin, account) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?)", charname, gender, skin, getPlayerUsername(client))
if query then 
outputDebugString("Updates characters.")
else
outputDebugString("Updating charactes failed.")
  end
end
end
addEvent("createCharacter", true)
addEventHandler("createCharacter", root, createCharacter)

 

Nothing is outputted in debug when I click the button createCharacter, nothing in debug, no error

I think that the triggerServerEvent should be inside (within the range) of the if statement and not beneath it since you are sending vars that were only idenitfied within the If statement.

[Extinction]

Still doesnt make a difference, i tried this

[_DrXenon]

Umm, then maybe the second argument on triggerServerEvent is 'source' which refers to the button not the player?

Do you load the server sided script first in your meta.xml?

[Anubhav]

server sided scripts load first no matter what, its because they are on server, and server starts, and client joins and then the client sided are downloaded and read by the MTA client. so it doesnt matter if you put server type script first or not

[NeXuS™]

Nvm, it's one client sided, and one server sided script. Didnt check if it was or not. Try triggering without any args.

Or maybe check debugscript?

[pa3ck]

You're triggering for source, change it to localPlayer

[Extinction]

@Anubhav Source won't work in client sided script?

Lol, source in that event is actually the button clicked.

I'm suprised I forgot to fix that or did not even see it e.e

 

localPlayer should be used (the player who clicked it).
