Attatching event to root vs resourceRoot

[UnchiuDawg]

Hello, I have a little trouble understanding why attatching an event to the resourceRoot won't work on the serverside.

Here's the script:

-- serverside
ballas1 = createPed (102, 1092, -1386, 14, 180,true)
ballas2 = createPed (103, 1093, -1386, 14, 180,true)
ballas3 = createPed (104, 1094, -1386, 14, 180,true)
ballas4 = createPed (185, 1095, -1386, 14, 180,true)
ballas5 = createPed (293, 1096, -1386, 14, 180,true)

function sendPedVoices()
	triggerClientEvent("applyVoicesClient", source, ballas1, ballas2, ballas3, ballas4, ballas5)
	outputChatBox ( "#FF0000zzzzzz", source, 231, 217, 176, true )
end

addEvent("sendPedVoices", true, true)
addEventHandler("sendPedVoices", root, sendPedVoices) -- <<<<< attatched to root

-- clientside

function setPedVoices(ballas1, ballas2, ballas3, ballas4, ballas5)
	setPedVoice ( ballas1, "PED_TYPE_GANG", "VOICE_GNG_BALLAS1" )
	setPedVoice ( ballas2, "PED_TYPE_GANG", "VOICE_GNG_BALLAS2" )
	setPedVoice ( ballas3, "PED_TYPE_GANG", "VOICE_GNG_BALLAS3" )
	setPedVoice ( ballas4, "PED_TYPE_GANG", "VOICE_GNG_BALLAS4" )
	setPedVoice ( ballas5, "PED_TYPE_GANG", "VOICE_GNG_BALLAS5" )
end

addEvent("applyVoicesClient", true, true)
addEventHandler("applyVoicesClient", localPlayer, setPedVoices)

function requestVoices()
	triggerServerEvent ( "sendPedVoices", localPlayer)
end


addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, requestVoices)

If I attatch the "sendPedVoices" event to the resourceRoot (instead of the root) it won't work. Is it simply not possible to do that or am I doing something wrong here?

	setPedVoice ( ballas5, "PED_TYPE_GANG", "VOICE_GNG_BALLAS5" )
end

addEvent("applyVoicesClient", true, true)
addEventHandler("applyVoicesClient", resourceRoot, setPedVoices) -- Changed to resourceRoot, this will do the trick. 

function requestVoices()
	triggerServerEvent ( "sendPedVoices", localPlayer)
end


addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, requestVoices)

I have tried it like that too, but it still won't work if on the serverside I attatch the event "sendPedVoices" to the resourceRoot, it still has to be attatched to the root.

1. function sendPedVoices()
   	triggerClientEvent(source, "applyVoicesClient", resourceRoot, ballas1, ballas2, ballas3, ballas4, ballas5)
   	outputChatBox ( "#FF0000zzzzzz", source, 231, 217, 176, true )
   end
   
   addEvent("sendPedVoices", true, true)
   addEventHandler("sendPedVoices", resourceRoot, sendPedVoices) -- <<<<< attatched to root

function requestVoices()
	triggerServerEvent ( "sendPedVoices", resourceRoot)
end

Hi ! what represents the 3rd argument [ true ] of "addEvent" ?

Just spotted another error. Well, the first argument of addEvent() is obviously the event name, the second one is allowRemoteTrigger, which basically allows it to be triggered remotely, from other files or resources, you should always keep it true unless for security reasons. The third argument is not necessary and shall be removed.

Yeah I've added that argument by mistake, it shouldn't be there, I'll remove it.

Thank you for the help, it works properly now and I also understand what I did wrong ^^

Check this out !

I've meant to attatch the event to the resourceRoot, not the root. It was already working when attatched to the root.

Biistamais' method works the way I wanted it to be ^^

But thanks anyway

Optional Arguments

• allowRemoteTrigger: A boolean specifying whether this event can be called remotely using triggerClientEvent / triggerServerEvent or not.

 

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/AddEvent

 

It is an option to prevent events, to trigger the handlers from either the client or server.

• If you put the option on a clientside script to false, it will ignore events triggered from serverside scripts.
• If you put the option on a serverside script to false, it will ignore events triggered from clientside scripts.

 

It doesn't prevent triggering from other files(unless it is from the other [server/client]side) and it also doesn't prevent triggering from other resources.
