[I don't know how to process GUI responses]

I solved the problem with a global variable, but i don't know if it's the right way. I'm trying to create a menu that appears when a user click door and let the user choose a place to go (that is another map). So i did it that way:

1-I created the gui using Menu.lua as template

2-i wrote a code in the updatephysics of one object called computer that verifies if the user clicks the door (using camera:pick) and then shows the menu (that select the place to go)

3-i inserted a global variable in Main.lua called eventosGUI that stores the event

    while EventQueue:Peek() do
        local event
        event = EventQueue:Wait()
        eventosGUI = event
        event = gamemenu:ProcessEvent(event)
    end

4-then inside the updatephysics of the computer object, i compare eventosGUI.source with the button widget and if its true, i call changemapname = "name of the map"

But there is another problem. The cancel button that i put at the end of the menu is acting strangelly:

1-The player clicks the door

2-the menu opens normally

3- the player clicks the cancel button

4-the menu closes

5-the player click the door for the second time

6-the menu just flashes

7-the player click the door for the third time

8-the menu opens normally

So i solved this ploblem with a flag called corrigeQueue initially setted to false (but i don't know if it's the right way):

        if eventosGUI ~= nil then
...

            if eventosGUI.source == self.mudaLocalGui.botaoCancelar then
                if not self.corrigeQueue then
                    self.paineldegui = false
                    self.mouse_padrao = false
                    self.jogador.script.modoAndar = true
                    self.mudaLocalGui:Hide()
                    janela:HideMouse()
                    self.corrigeQueue = true
                else
                    self.corrigeQueue = false
                end
            end

            eventosGUI = nil

end
 

I tried to flushkeys but it doesn't solved the problem, and i put a Debug:Assert(false, tostring(eventosGUI)) before showing the menu and it returns nil, but i know that the flashing is occurring because eventosGUI ~=nil and eventosGUI.source == self.mudaLocalGui.botaoCancelar returns true

 

[I don't know how to process GUI responses]

I trying to create a gui inside the game using the template in main.lua and menu.lua, but when i try to process the user response, it seems like the Main.lua take the event off the eventqueue so i connot process the event into my script. I didn't understand the logic to put the processing routine of my gui into my script.

[Documentation for the Bank data type]

Before thinking of making a game, i'm trying to understand the multiplayer suport. I think that nowaday, a game without multiplayer is incomplete.

I understand the choice for networking using steam, but i don't want make games only for publishing on steam.

So i want to use the Client and Server classes even knowing the problems (there is no NAT punchtrough, but this can be solved with port forwarding or a VPN like radmin).

However, i can't understand this classes because the lack of documentation for the bank data type (that i plan to use for sending information of position and rotation of objects).

Can you send me the documentation of the bank data type for lua? Can i use the bankstream instead of bank on the functions of Client/Server classes?

Note: I was scripting in lua because i just have the Indie Edition

Sorry for my English
