[Help] GiveWeapon

[brocky]

I was trying to make a weapon shop gui. When you click the button1 it will give you weapon but the problem is i don't get weapon.

  
if button1 == source then 
 x = getPlayerMoney(source) 
  
if x >= 60000 then 
  triggerServerEvent("shotgun", root )  
  giveWeapon( root, 27, 100 )  
 outputChatBox("You successfully bought a Combat Shotgun") 
  
else  
outputChatBox("You don't have enough cash") 
  
end  
   end  
     end 
addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", button1, shotGun, false )

giveWeapon( root, 27, 100 ) 

Using root as the first argument will give it to every player on the server. You should use client on the server-side (assuming you will do what Hungry said and trigger events).

Can you give me a brief example? Because I didn't actually got what you said about the root function.

I understood that it will give the weapon to all player, but how to prevent that? How so?

Change the argument 'root' to your player. And your function giveWeapon is only server-side function. But you're trying to get it work on the client.

How do i change it to my player FFS?

How do i change it to "When someone clicks the button "only" the clicker will get the weapon" not others.

Can you state the argument of giveWeapon

triggerServerEvent("shotgun", localPlayer)  

giveWeapon( source, 27, 100 ) 

or

giveWeapon( client, 27, 100 )

The first argument of giveWeapon is who you want to give the weapon to. By default, root means all elements, everywhere. However, in the case of this function (giveWeapon), if you use root, since it is every element, it will only trigger on the player elements (which can be visualized in the element tree). You can put any other player argument in there. I could put:

giveWeapon(getPlayerFromName("Noki"), 27, 100) -- Gives it to a player with the name of 'Noki' 
-- or 
giveWeapon(getRandomPlayer(), 27, 100) -- Gives it to one randomly selected player 
-- or 
giveWeapon(root, 27, 100) -- Gives it to every player
