get player country failing

[Hiding]

Hello, I'm trying to get the player's country from admin panel, and use that country in client side, but I always get the error msg: failed to call: 'admin:getPlayerCountry' [string"?"]
Admin is running ofc.

-- SERVER
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, function()
    local player = source
    local country = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry(player) 
    
    triggerClientEvent(player, "onPlayerCountryReceived", player, country)
end)

-- CLIENT
local myCountry = ""

function onPlayerCountryReceived(country)
    myCountry = country 
end
addEvent("onPlayerCountryReceived", true)
addEventHandler("onPlayerCountryReceived", localPlayer, onPlayerCountryReceived)

Somebody help pls

The source element of the event onResourceStart is not a player, so, you are triying to get the country of a Resource, obyously this is not going to work.

What you should do ? You need to loop the whole player list by using getElementsyType("player") and inside that loop ask for player country and do the trigger aswell.

Best regards.

Getting country flags through admin is not recommended anymore. Use the 'ip2c' standalone resource that comes with the default resources.

Thank you for your response. This is the server side now: 
 

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, function()
    local players = getElementsByType("player")
    for i, player in ipairs(players) do
        local country = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry(player)
        triggerClientEvent(player, "onPlayerCountryReceived", resourceRoot, country)
    end
end)

And this is the client side: 
 

local myCountry = ""

addEvent("onPlayerCountryReceived", true)
addEventHandler("onPlayerCountryReceived", resourceRoot, function(country)
    myCountry = country 
end)

But it says that server triggered client side event onPlayerCountryReceived, but event is not added client side..  wtf?

Thats probably because server-side is running before client side, so, in this case, you should make a trigger from the client to the server and send the response back to the client again. Not sure if there is a better option for it cuz using a timer is not a good idea aswell ...

So here goes my solution:

-- ## CLIENT-SIDE
local myCountry = ""

addEvent("onPlayerCountryReceived", true)
addEventHandler("onPlayerCountryReceived", root, function(country)
    outputChatBox(country)
    myCountry = country 
end)

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, function ()
    triggerServerEvent("onRequestPlayerCountry", resourceRoot)
end)

-- ## SERVER-SIDE
addEvent("onRequestPlayerCountry", true)
addEventHandler("onRequestPlayerCountry", resourceRoot, function()
    local country = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry(client)
    triggerClientEvent(client, "onPlayerCountryReceived", resourceRoot, country)
end)
