[CHAT] Trigger an Event

[MTA.Castiel]

Hi there, I'm trying to trigger a client side event for every team player but excluding myself, within the team.
I've tried a bunch of things, can't seem to figure it out at this point. The code we're using today is only intended for test purposes.

Our client event "runOurClientEvent" is currently being triggered for everyone in the team, including myself.

function teamChatZm( message, messageType )

	local thePlayer = getPlayerName( source )

	if messageType == 2 then  -- Teamsay
		local playerTeam = getPlayerTeam( source )
		if ( playerTeam ) then
		local teamPlayers = getPlayersInTeam( playerTeam )
		cancelEvent()
		outputChatBox( "*Message type: " .. messageType .. " from: " .. thePlayer )
		outputChatBox( "Castiel has triggered a client side event.", teamPlayers, 0, 255, 0, true )

		-- trigger an event for the other team players only

		if ( teamPlayers[source] == source ) then
		  return else
		  triggerClientEvent ( "runOurClientEvent", root )
	 	end

		end
	end
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", root, teamChatZm)

Try this:

triggerClientEvent ( 
    (function () 
        local players = getElementsByType("player")
        for i=1, #players do
            if players[i] == source then
                table.remove(players, i)
                break
            end
        end
        return players
    end)(), --  IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression)
    "runOurClientEvent", root 
)
