[Helps] OnClientPlayerJoin doesn't work

[Hyunsu_Oh]

sorry, my bad english.

GRoot = getRootElement()
GRRoot = getResourceRootElement()
 
 
function ClientModeStart(startedmode)
 
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", GRRoot, ClientModeStart)
 
 
function ClientPlayerJoin()
outputChatBox("* " .. getPlayerName(source) .. " has joined the server")
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", GRoot, ClientPlayerJoin)
 
 
function ClientPlayerSpawn()
outputChatBox("* " .. getPlayerName(source) .. " spawned")
end	
addEventHandler ("onClientPlayerSpawn",  GRoot, ClientPlayerSpawn)

onClientPlayerSpawn worked.

onClientResourceStart worked.

but onClientPlayerJoin didn't work.

please. help me.

would be better if you put script in

[/code] tags

[code=lua]

Did you test onClientPlayerJoin with remote player? It doesn't work with local player as the script is downloaded when the player has already joined.

if i enter my server, i don't see onClientPlayerJoin event?

[Dark Dragon]

exactly, this event is triggered for every player except you. you can see others join, they can see you join but you can't see yourself join.

thank you

Then, Don't i trigger "onClientPlayerJoin" event? if so, how can i trigger the event?

[Gamesnert]

If you want to run something at a player who just joined, check when the resource starts.

onClientResourceStart

[MCvarial]

You could use the onClientResourceStart event.

[Hyunsu_Oh]

what relation "onClientResourceStart" to my question? i don't know.

[MCvarial]

The onClientResourceStart event is triggered when a resource is started clientside, if you use getResourceRootElement() as the source it will trigger if for the resource containing your script, in other words right after the localplayer has finished downloading his resources.

Thank for everyone.

I have same problem. I'm new scripter of MTA, and this event just wont works for me, so i have to do something like it:

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(),
   function(startedRes)
   OnPlayerJoinToServer()
   end
);
 
function OnPlayerJoinToServer()
outputChatBox("* " .. getPlayerName(source) .. " зашёл на сервер.")
fadeCamera(true)
setCameraTarget(getLocalPlayer())
setCameraMatrix(1478.797119, -1756.001953, 115.093994, 1528.569336, -1670.147827, 102.773277)	
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), OnPlayerJoinToServer)

?

you call OnPlayerJoin when the local client started the resource, but the source of onClientResourceStart is not the local player

because onClientPlayerJoin has no parameters you can use this (hacky) way, but don't tend to try it with other events!

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(),
function(startedRes)
   OnPlayerJoinToServer(getLocalPlayer()) -- use the local player as first parameter
end
);
 
function OnPlayerJoinToServer(theplayer)
local player = theplayer or source -- set our target player to be theplayer if existent, else to source
outputChatBox("* " .. getPlayerName(player) .. " зашёл на сервер.")
-- are those next three lines really what you want to happen whenever someone joins?
-- you might want to put those lines in the function above.
fadeCamera(true)
setCameraTarget(getLocalPlayer())
setCameraMatrix(1478.797119, -1756.001953, 115.093994, 1528.569336, -1670.147827, 102.773277)   
--
end
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), OnPlayerJoinToServer)

Big thanks, its works!
