Author Topic: Is it possible to have Server GUIs without clients downloading them as AddOns?  (Read 1052 times)

I have never really seen these except for Pecon7's Boss Battles but is it possible/hard to make a GUI that gives weapons to player for a server? The way Pecon7's Boss Battles GUI works is that you need to download it, is there a way to make a GUI that would show up to all players when they join the server without having to download an addon just to see the GUI? Could the GUIs also give users weapons or let them spawn in certain areas? I am just wondering if these things are possible or very difficult to do as I have never seen a server with one (besides Pecon's).

No, there isn't

You can transfer basic guis with RtB though

But not everyone has RTB. (like me)

Blockland Glass has a full GUI system that allows for functioning GUIs with only needing to download one add-on. Unfortunately, it never caught on.

Does it allow me to transmit a fully functional dynamic gui

If not, it's useless

It indeed does. Its a little more tricky to create them because of security reasons, but after you get the hang of it, its very useful.


So there are limitations?
Yes, a gui can execute code, which means it can do whatever the owner wants, including something malicious.
And it's very hard to prevent that.

Then get it.

So there are limitations?
All GUIs that I could think of would work if they were to be ported over to the system. The only limitation is very advanced objects.

Would the Slayer GUI work? Somehow I doubt it..

So basically there's no way you can have GUIs so like when you join you can select what class of guns you want or spawn location of something like or to save/load bricks? That's pretty ass if you ask me.

Oh so if you have a Client sided mod you can load in GUIs? That's lovey then.

Stick with commands, lol.
