wiki have something called functions list sorted by categories.

its much better to use it than doing random coding

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Ser ... _functions

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceFromName("your_resource_name"), handler_function) 

much better, huh?

i have tried that, but it not return the resourse as element, the event handler need the resource as element i think.

because if i do that, console says " file.lua:5 bad 'element' pointer @ 'addEventHandler' <2>

but Thanks!! you always answer fast

im tired a bit, sry, try this:

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getResourceFromName("your_resource_name")), handler_function)

i found a 2nd solution!!.

there is a event named "onGamemodeMapStart" but there is no information abouth this in wiki.

for example, this code print the name of the resourcemap started

  
function loadMap(startedMap) 
    mapRoot = getResourceRootElement(startedMap) 
    outputChatBox(getElementID(mapRoot)) 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onGamemodeMapStart", getRootElement(), loadMap)

this is triggered by mapmanager resource i think
