NOTE: I'm not really much of a scripter but any support will be thanked for and also I want the gui to open to anyone in the ACL Group of "Admin".

Do you have the script owner's permission to use it and edit it?

[[UCG]Mike]

talking with me ?

[illestiraqi]

This is a public script and doesn't say I require permission for editing.

@Mr.Risk, the gui is still not opening, I was wondering if there was a problem with the addCommandHandler line or something, not sure but I've never seen a .lua code with the addCommandHandler like that but if you do know that that isn't the problem then go with what you think is just trying to help since I'm useless already atm.

addCommandHandler("give", 
function(pSource) 

[illestiraqi]

I fixed it, I just got opened the server sided .lua file and looked underneath the addCommandHandler and looked at what group in the ACL you have to be in to open this gui and it didn't have any so I had my own ACL group of "Owner" and replaced the only line (Right underneath me) to the other line (The bottom bottom line). Can't believe I actually fixed this myself Thanks for helping tho.

        if not isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(pSource)), aclGetGroup(aclGroup)) then 

        if not isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..getAccountName(getPlayerAccount(pSource)), aclGetGroup("Owner")) then
