I changed it a bit since this post, but here

--- Code: ---function STATFUNCTION(%cl)
{
%radiation = 33;
stat1.setValue(%radiation);
if(%radiation > 25) {
radiationtimer(%cl);
}
}
--- End code ---

The GUI is client sided, these things should be server sided. What jes00 said is correct - you need to use a clientcmd to update the GUI. Your current solution may work in singleplayer but it won't work on a dedicated even for the first client, and it'll spam your console because stat1 doesn't exist. Or if it does you are horrid and have instantiated a gui object serverside. Don't do that.

Serverside code: This does all the actual work and lets the client know what's going on.

--- Code: ---function Player::setRads(%player,%rads)
{
%player.rads = %rads;
cancel(%player.radSched);
if(%rads > 25)
{
%player.radSched = %player.schedule(10000,"takeRadDamage");
}
commandToClient(%player.client,'stalker_updateRads',%rads);
}
function Player::takeRadDamage(%player)
{
cancel(%player.radSched);
// This function would damage the player based on their rads or whatever here.
// %player.damage should automatically 'kill' the player if their health falls too so that shouldn't be an issue for this next part:
// Only continue to take rad damage if you aren't already dead. Not sure that's right, but I think it is.
if(%player.getState() !$= "Dead")
{
%player.radSched = %player.schedule(10000,"takeRadDamage");
}
}
--- End code ---

Clientside code: This only updates the GUI object based on a value the server tells the client.

--- Code: ---function clientCmdstalker_updateRads(%rads)
{
stat1.setValue(%rads);
}
--- End code ---

Always make this distinction - the server.cs and client.cs files are separate for a reason.

And after typing /ss my gui is blank.

I put the other part in client.cs, btw.

elm:
You're doing something wrong. It should look like so:

//This would be in the server.cs or any server sided code
function sendDataToAllClients(%data)
{
   for(%i=0;%i<clientGroup.getCount();%i++)
   {
      %c = clientGroup.getObject(%i);

      //command to the client, to catch the data
      commandToClient(%c,'catchData',%data);
   }
}

//This goes to the client.cs or any client sided code
function clientCmdCatchData(%data)
{
   //do something with our data
   echo("Data caught: "@%data);
   someGuiTextCtrl.setText(%data);
}

Nexus:
or

commandToAll('cmd', %data);
