Login GUI from wiki

Still doesn't work, although the output chatbox works now.

Ill upload a youtube clip of it now.

What is the error now?

What is the error now?

No error comes up. The same two warnings are there.

I created a new account to test it on and gave it admin. Username: admin Password: password.

I typed it all in, and clicked the button. The button could be clicked, but it didn't do anything. Normally if the password/username was bad, it would put in the chatbox 'Invalid username or password!' but it didn't. I think the problem is the button.

Show me server-side.

By they way, localPlayer is predefinied variable in MTA, so you don't have to add this in the top of code.

Personnaly I would do something like that:

local playerName = getPlayerName(localPlayer) 
  
function clientSubmitLogin() 
    local username = guiGetText(edtUser) 
    local password = guiGetText(edtPass) 
        if ( username ~= "" and password ~= "" ) then 
            triggerServerEvent("submitLogin", localPlayer, username, password) 
        else 
            outputChatBox("Please enter a username and password.") 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function createLoginWindow() 
    local X = 0.375 
    local Y = 0.375 
    local Width = 0.25 
    local Height = 0.25 
    wdwLogin = guiCreateWindow(X, Y, Width, Height, "Please Log In", true) 
  
    X = 0.0825   
    Width = 0.25 
    Height = 0.25 
    guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Username", true, wdwLogin) 
    Y = 0.5 
    guiCreateLabel(X, Y, Width, Height, "Password", true, wdwLogin) 
  
    X = 0.415 
    Y = 0.25 
    Width = 0.5 
    Height = 0.15 
    edtUser = guiCreateEdit(X, Y, Width, Height, "", true, wdwLogin) 
    Y = 0.5 
    edtPass = guiCreateEdit(X, Y, Width, Height, "", true, wdwLogin) 
    guiEditSetMaxLength(edtUser, 20) 
    guiEditSetMaxLength(edtpass, 20) 
    X = 0.415                         
    Y = 0.7 
    Width = 0.25 
    Height = 0.20 
    bntLogin = guiCreateButton(X, Y, Width, Height, "Log In", true, wdwLogin) 
    addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", btnLogin, clientSubmitLogin, false)

Oh, damn. Sorry, my bad

local posX, posY, posZ = 2584.9523925781, -2209.318359375, 1.9927320480347

    else 
       outputChatBox("Invalid username or password!",source) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("submitLogin", true) 
addEventHandler("submitLogin", getRootElement(), loginHandler) 

and one more:

ERROR: Loading script failed: [gameplay]\Server\Client.lua:12: '' expected near 'end'

Sorry again

function clientSubmitLogin() 
    local username = guiGetText(edtUser) 
    local password = guiGetText(edtPass) 
    if ( username ~= "" and password ~= "" ) then 
        triggerServerEvent("submitLogin", localPlayer, username, password) 
    else 
        outputChatBox("Please enter a username and password.") 
    end 
end 
  

It still doesn't seem to be working :3. Same problem as before, it doesn't tell my my username and password is wrong, and the button doesn't do anything.

Still the same warnings as before .

Sorry if this is bothering anyone i'm just a beginner at doing this .

Maybe if anyone other then me could test the scripts to see if I'm doing something wrong?

Can I do this my way?

Yes of course .

Any help is appreciated.

Tell me if in chat it shows "login:password" two times.

Yeah it showed:

admin:password

admin:password

So it should work. If it doesn't add this resource in admin group in acl.xml

<object name="resource.resource_name" /> 

So it should work. If it doesn't add this resource in admin group in acl.xml

<object name="resource.resource_name" /> 

I've already added it. Problem is, it doesn't actually log me in, and the gui doesn't disapeer either.

And also, this is a warning about it:

Tell me how many number it will show in chatbox.

And also, this is a warning about it:

WARNING:[gameplay]\server\server.lua:5: Bad argument @ 'logIn' [Expected account at argument 2, got string 'admin']

Ill check it now

WOW. DIDNT SEE THAT! Mate replace it with

local loggin = logIn(source, account, password) 

Has to work now.

It shows:

admin:password

1

2

After changing this line too?

local loggin = logIn(source, username, password) 

change it to

local loggin = logIn(source, account, password) 

IT WORKKSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg dude thank you so much! You just saved me trying to write a new script.

Didn't see at all in beginning. Good that you showed me this error. Have fun with scritpting!
