[iLimix]

Hey guys,
i don't know what it can be

function KDShow(player)
  	dxDrawText(getElementData ( localPlayer, "deaths" ), 86, 367, 193, 388, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end

try this :

 

function KDShow(player)
      dxDrawText(getElementData ( localPlayer, "deaths" ) and tostring ( getElementData ( localPlayer, "deaths" ) ) or "N/A", 86, 367, 193, 388, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end

The problem is that the there is no data for "deaths" on the player so it is returning a boolean( a true/false value ) which would be false in your case.

function KDShow(player)
	local deaths = getElementData ( localPlayer, "deaths" )
  	dxDrawText(deaths or 0, 86, 367, 193, 388, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end

What I've done is made a simple check to see if deaths == false.

If deaths == false it will use the or operator and return 0.

If deaths == a number or anything, it will show that value of "deaths" instead.

local deaths = (getElementData ( localPlayer, "deaths" ) or 0)

He show me now "0" but in Database show me 45

Database is not your elementdata, whenever you log in, you have to set the player's elementdata to the one which he has in the database.

[iLimix]

							setElementData ( player, "deaths", tonumber ( dsatz["Tode"] ) )
							setElementData ( player, "kills", tonumber ( dsatz["Kills"] ) )

this is in Register / Login script

Try to debug it. Output the number when you log in.

Serverside its work:

outputChatBox ( "Tode: "..getElementData ( player, "Tode"),client,255,255,255)

But not in Clientside

dxDrawText( getElementData(lp,"Tode")

Is "lp" defined as localplayer?

[iLimix]

yes

[NeXuS™]

outputChatBox(tostring(isElement(lp)) .. " " .. tostring(lp == localPlayer))
outputChatBox(getElementData(lp,"Tode"))

Try this.

i Become spam true true

and Warning outputChatBox(getElementData(lp,"Tode"))

string 1 got boolean
