triggerEvent randomly stops working

[Spc]

Hello, I have basic custom event that triggers when player logins:

triggerEvent("onPlayerHasLogged", client)

And it's handled in another resource on global level:

addEventHandler("onPlayerHasLogged", root, function()
    iprint("trigger", source)
end)

 

Everything is working just fine but after a random amount of time (sometimes few hours, sometimes less and sometimes a lot more) eventHandler stops triggering completely. triggerEvent still returns true. When i restart the resource with eventHandler, everything works properly again.

Handlers of other event triggers that have "client" as base element stop working as well.

Does anybody know what may be wrong?

Are you using addDebugHook function somewhere in your resources?

 

Also the addEvent function should also be called at the resource where addEventHandler is being used.

Yes, i'm using addDebugHook for detecting and blocking client-side functions as a form of anti-cheat, for example:

addDebugHook("preFunction", ac_checkFunction, DISALLOWED_FUNCTIONS)

function ac_checkFunction(sourceRes, funcName, _, _, _, ...)
    if DISALLOWED_FUNCTIONS[funcName] then
        triggerServerEvent("onACDetection", localPlayer)
        return "skip"
    end
end

Do you mean adding multiple addEvent functions with same event name? I use this event in multiple resources.

This function is able to mimic that behaviour you just mentioned. Just be aware.

It might be worthed to look in to it and test if it has any impact if any of those are restarted.

Also double check if the remote access is disabled for all of them. (2e argument of addEvent)

Remote access is disabled.

I'll add addEvents to the resources and i'll reply if it changed something or not. However it is still strange for me, because i've never seen this happen before.

In the current situation of MTA:SA the entire client-side is completely exposed even the addDebogHook events can be neutralized by hackers, I recommend you to do more checks on the server-side

The problem stopped occuring. It seems that this did the trick.

Thank you for help.
