[Help] triggerClientEvent() don't work, I guess

[Kazafka]

I guess here

addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", resourceRoot, function(message, type_)
	if(type_ == 0) then
		triggerClientEvent("dxDrawMessageText", getRootElement(), message)
		setTimer(
			function()
				triggerClientEvent("dxDrawMessageText", getRootElement(), "")
			end,
		10000, 1)
	end
end)

is the problem, with triggerClientEvent(), client:

addEvent("dxDrawMessageText", true)
addEventHandler("dxDrawMessageText", getLocalPlayer(), function(message)
	UNITED_MESSAGE = message
end)

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function()
	dxDrawTextOnElement(localPlayer, UNITED_MESSAGE, 1, 20, 255, 255, 255, 255, 1, "default-bold")
end)

So, I tried to outputChatBox() inside event handler of dxDrawMessageText, but it keept doing completely nothing. My code for outputChatBox():

--Code from event handler of dxDrawMessageText
	outputChatBox(UNITED_MESSAGE)
--Rest of code from event handler of dxDrawMessageText

BTW: dxDrawTextOnElement() exists. Any idea?

triggerClientEvent("dxDrawMessageText", getRootElement(), message)

triggerClientEvent("dxDrawMessageText", getRootElement(), "")

 

addEventHandler("dxDrawMessageText", getLocalPlayer(), function(message)

 

triggerClientEvent("dxDrawMessageText", resourceRoot, message)

triggerClientEvent("dxDrawMessageText", resourceRoot, "")

 

 

addEventHandler("dxDrawMessageText", resourceRoot, function(message)

 

 

If you do not understand how the event system works, then you can better replace the baseElement of the triggerclient/serverEvent + addEventHandler with resourceRoot until you have studied that.

I've seen that in tutorial of triggerClientEvent() on MTA Wiki, but OK  

BTW: Still nothing

You didn't update the code, so I can't say anything.

 

That tutorial is using different sourceElement, baseElement and sendTo elements. Nothing like your code.

Server-side:

addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", resourceRoot, function(message, type_)
	if(type_ == 0) then
		triggerClientEvent("messageText", resourceRoot, message)
		setTimer(
			function()
				triggerClientEvent("messageText", resourceRoot, "")
			end,
		10000, 1)
	end
end)

Client-side:

addEvent("messageText", true)
addEventHandler("messageText", resourceRoot, function(message)
	UNITED_MESSAGE = message
end)

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function()
	dxDrawTextOnElement(localPlayer, UNITED_MESSAGE, 1, 20, 255, 255, 255, 255, 1, "default-bold")
end)

Where are your debuglines? There are absolutely 0 of them in your code.

You attached the onPlayerChat event to resourceRoot.

A resource can't use chat (like a player ). You need to change it to root, what contains players. (https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Element_tree)
