Triggering Effect

[itHyperoX]

Hi, i'm working on an airdrop system, almost everything done.

 

I'm thinking about how can i trigger an effect to the server side? Because we have almost 60 players on the server, and i want that they all can see the smoke.

I tried 

--server:



function createSmoke(x, y, z)
    triggerClientEvent(getRootElement(), "createSmoke", getRootElement(), x, y, z)
end
addEvent("createSmoke", true)
addEventHandler("createSmoke", getRootElement ( ), createSmoke)







--client: 



function smokeCreate(x, y, z)
   smoke = createEffect("tank_fire", x, y, z, -90, 0, 0)
   setEffectSpeed(smoke, 4)
end
addEvent( "createSmoke", true )
addEventHandler( "createSmoke", resourceRoot, smokeCreate)

Try to set the client event handler for 'root' as well instead of 'resourceRoot'. I had problems if it wasn't root recently.

I fixed it with another way.

That is because resourceRoot is a child of the root. But in this case the one that is accepted is the child and the one that is send is the parent.

Childs do not accept parents, parents only accept childs or itself.

 

But you already knew that didn't you?

@IIYAMA I'm studying trees in university and I hate it Haven't payed attention to that graph although I've seen it before.

@TheMOG isn't it better to trigger the event to a player table and bind the client-side to root/localPlayer? UNTESTED

I remember triggering events on root isn't a good thing (i've not been around for some time, correct me if wrong)

I already fixed it. Found a dff file on the community, downloaded, then attached the "object" to the airdrop.
