[HELP] Donwload Started / Ended

[Whizz]

Hello, I am communicating with you through translit.
Is there anything I can do to identify the status of Download Player?
When it starts and when it finds ended.

Downloads are not always done in a straight line. They are bound to resources. Even if the client finished downloading, a new resource can be started by the server admin.

 

Clientside:

Downloads are often busy when the transferbox is visible.

According to the wiki, it is possible to forcefully show the transferbox at all times. But I doubt anybody would be willing to create a worse experience for themselves.

Serverside:

Downloads often start at https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnPlayerJoin

And end for each resource at:

@IIYAMA I think OP was referring to the status of the download.

 

@Whizz

You can get the download status with the OnClientTransferBoxProgressChange event

See here:

Yes, you can only track the client's resources download progress using that event ^
Downloading resource(s) can happen immediately when the player joins the server (downloaded resources are started progressively as their downloads finish) or during the gameplay if an admin/dev restarts a resource or starts a new resource that needs to be downloaded.

To make a Loading/Downloading panel that appears when the player joins you just need to wait & check if the player is downloading, track the progress, and when done, initiate the next step (can be a login panel). Tracking download progress later during gameplay doesn't really matter.
