How to show DX Image to only local player

How can i show the DXDrawImage to only local player?

Client sided function are affects only for localPlayer, like dxDrawText.

Think about it, it runs only on client's PC.

But if you start this function on every client's PC, it shows for everyone, ofcourse. But then, the image is not "same", every client render her own image.

You need to use events.

OnClientPlayerJoin trigger the attached function when someone join to server, and you need to start the Intro Render only for this client, who is you, localPlayer.

addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", root, function
	-- Wiki note: The `source` of this event is the player that joined the server.
    if source == localPlayer then  -- who join is you, the localPlayer
    	-- start render
    end
end)

-- or set the source of the event to localPlayer instead of root, and then you dont need to check it who is the source.
