GTA:SA isn't a massively detailed world, so I doubt this is synced.

Use a sprite:

Thanks. This makes perfect sense, I'll go with that. Ahmed Ly, your code doesn't really make sense to me. I'm not sure why you're explicitly calling xmlFindChild during a strange iteration, when my above method of using xmlNodeGetChildren will retrieve all of the children in a table? Given that there is potential scope for there to be a large number of settings defined in the XML, I don't agree with this. setElementData is really only designed to sync small amounts of data. I only need to provide this information once during initialisation of the resource to a single client. setElementData really wouldn't be an efficient way of providing this information over a single event call. It also raises concerns over security as I only want this information to be accessible from within the resource.

Hello, I'm trying to pass my server side settings defined in my meta.xml to the client. However, when passing the table of XML data to the client, the data does not persist. Here's my server side code: addEvent("onClientRequestResourceSettings", true) addEventHandler("onClientRequestResourceSettings", resourceRoot, function() local xml = xmlLoadFile("meta.xml") local settingsNode = xmlFindChild(xml, "settings", 0) if(settingsNode) then local settings = xmlNodeGetChildren(settingsNode) triggerClientEvent(client, "onServerProvideResourceSettings", resourceRoot, settings) end xmlUnloadFile(xml) end ) That above event is called client side when the resource starts. Here's the client side code: addEvent("onServerProvideResourceSettings", true) addEventHandler("onServerProvideResourceSettings", resourceRoot, function(theSettings) iprint("Settings provided: "..inspect(theSettings)) --Output: "Settings provided: { }" end ) However my settings table is not being passed to the client. When printing the output, it appears to be an empty table. I'm aware there is a limitation of passing xml data to the client, however as this is in fact a table data type, I wouldn't of thought there would be an issue? Can anyone point me in the right direction, or perhaps provide some better solutions for passing settings data from the meta.xml to the client? Cheers.

Thanks for the reply. I've now found out the difference. Just to clear this up - as the name suggests, onClientElementColShapeHit actually refers to elements created client side, whereas onClientColShapeHit is triggered when a client-side element hits a server side col shape. As it's slightly misleading, I'll pop a note on the wiki

Hi there, Would somebody please explain to me the difference between these two client side events: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnClientColShapeHit https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnClientElementColShapeHit Is there a recommended best practice in terms of which one to use? I also have an issue that, when using onClientElementColShapeHit, if I set the position of the element (in this case a player), to inside the col shape, it does not trigger the event. It is triggered if they walk into it, just not when their position is set to within it. Has anyone experience this? Thanks

No

I am currently creating a large race using the Map Editor on the latest version of MTA. On random occasions when many large buildings or objects with large textures are involved, as I navigate through the map, it freezes. I have to press CTRL + ALT + DEL and end the process through the task manager as it completely stops responding. On one occasion, the following error message occured, to which I just clicked IGNORE and it continued to respond and I could carry on: I have tried all the solutions from this topic.
