[HELP] Server triggered clientside event, but event is not added clienside

[MarbleXeno]

I'm trying to make simple job. When player hit the marker

this error pops up in debuscript 3. I'm just learning Lua 

and I don't know how to fix this error.

Error: Server triggered clientside event, createGui, but event is not added clientside

        triggerClientEvent("createGui", resourceRoot)

    end

end

Thanks for the help!

Instead of root or resourceRoot, try just using getRootElement() instead, for example:

Quote

addEventHandler("createGui", getRootElement(), openGui) -- Do this with all of your Event Handlers, using root alone is not recommended

I did as you said, now I get exactly the same error in debuscript 3 but this time when we enter the gui marker it will show up. I don't know what the problem is now.

 

server.Lua

function createSomeMarker()

    createMarker(-2442, 754, 34, "cylinder", 2)

end

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), createSomeMarker)

 

function markerCollision (markerHit, matchingDimension)

    if matchingDimension then

        outputChatBox("Test1")

        triggerClientEvent("createGui", resourceRoot)

    end

end

addEventHandler("onPlayerMarkerHit", getRootElement(), markerCollision)

 

client.Lua

local gui = {}

 

okno = guiCreateWindow(0.35, 0.26, 0.16, 0.45, "Praca GAZECIARZ", true)

guiWindowSetSizable(okno, false)

guiSetVisible(okno, false)

showCursor(false, false)

 

button = guiCreateButton(0.16, 0.56, 0.73, 0.39, "", true, okno)

 

addEvent("createGui", true)

function OpenGui()

    outputChatBox("Test2")

    guiSetVisible(okno, true)

    showCursor(true, true)

end

addEventHandler("createGui", getRootElement(), OpenGui)

 

When we enter the marker:

Strange, it does reach the event, thus you get the "test2" outputchatbox for it...

It is saying expected Element at Argument 2, but getting a Function

Well, maybe if you fix the showCursor(false) and showCursor(true)

Error is showing up only when resource is starting. 

I think the problem is that the computer reads the code from the top down, and something can't be loaded. The code works, so I'm leaving this problem for now.

Maybe the client file wasn't downloaded and run yet when the server attempted the triggerClientEvent. But after it finishes downloading and running the client file, it all works... A solution to this is starting your server from the onClientResourceStart event on your client side file. Once that event triggers, then you could just use triggerServerEvent to spawn in your player in etc.

Oh, but you may want to make sure it only triggers once, so just do a quick resource check, I'll give a full example of what I mean:

function ClientResourceStart(resource)
 if(getResourceName(resource)=="EXAMPLE")then
  triggerServerEvent("SomeFunction",localPlayer)
 end
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getRootElement(),ClientResourceStart)

Where as "SomeFunction" would be a custom function created server side with all your starting player code and whatnot

addEvent("createGui", true)

function guiFunction()
okno = guiCreateWindow(0.35, 0.26, 0.16, 0.45, "Praca GAZECIARZ", true)
guiWindowSetSizable(okno, false)
 
button = guiCreateButton(0.16, 0.56, 0.73, 0.39, "", true, okno)
end
 
function openGui()
if not isElement(okno) then
guiFunction()
showCursor(true)
guiSetInputMode("no_binds_when_editing")
elseif isElement(okno) then
guiSetVisible(okno, not guiGetVisible(okno))
showCursor(not isCursorShowing())
guiSetInputMode("no_binds_when_editing")
end
end
addEventHandler("createGui", getRootElement(), openGui)

local jobMarker = createMarker(-2442, 754, 34, "cylinder", 2)
 
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", jobMarker, function(hitElement, matchingDimension)
if isElement(hitElement) and getElementType(hitElement) == "player" and not getPedOccupiedVehicle(hitElement) then -- checks if element exists, if is player, and not inside a car
if matchingDimension then -- if both player and marker are on the same dimension --
triggerClientEvent(hitElement, "createGui", hitElement)
end
end
end)

Fixed your code, not tested but should work. If you want some help understanding this, you can PM me and I'll be glad to help you.
