Bind key with clientside function onPlayerConnect

[Ioannis20x]

Hello, today i tried to bind a key when a player connects to the Server(client side)

but it dont worked.

Now i want to bind the Key onPlayerConnect in server side.

But the function can only run client side.

My question: how to call a client side function on server side and what is the best method to do this?

hello you can use events you can create an event on client side and run it with triggerClientEvent on server side

 

example:

server

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, 
	function()
       triggerClientEvent(source, "testEvent", source) -- execute event
	end
)

client

addEvent("testEvent", true)
addEventHandler("testEvent", root,
    function()
       --do something here
    end
)

or you can browse this script of IIYAMA 

 

I also suggest you to use "onPlayerJoin" Event for key binding.

Hey,

There is a chance the player to get an error - the client side event is not attached to any function.
When the "onPlayerJoin" is triggered the player might still be downloading -> the player still doesn't have the client side loaded -> error.

I don't get it why would you want to bind the key in the server side and "onPlayerConnect".
It would have had more logic if it was onPlayerLogin (i.e. to check if has enough rights but you didn't mention something like that).

Anyways you can easily put the bindKey function in the client script out of any functions and it will bind the key on client resource load.

function asd()
	-- something
end
bindKey("F1", "down", asd)

Or use the onClientResourceStart event.
