Code Examples

This example shows how you can trigger a custom event client-side defined in the same resource as soon as the player is ready (resource loaded on client):

function onPlayerResourceStart(startedResource)
  local resourceName = getResourceName(startedResource)
  local playerName = getPlayerName(source)
  local matchingResource = (startedResource == resource) -- 'resource' is predefined variable, see: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Predefined_variables_list#MTA_Predefined_variables
  local chatMessage = (resourceName.." has started for "..playerName)


  outputChatBox(chatMessage) -- display message when any resource starts for player


  if (not matchingResource) then -- check if startedResource matches current, if it doesn't do not trigger custom event
    return false
  end


  triggerClientEvent(source, "onClientCustomEvent", resourceRoot) -- send a custom clientside event defined in this resource, for specific player (source) only
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerResourceStart", root, onPlayerResourceStart)
