onClientResourceStart PROBLEMS, big ones x)

[DarkLink]

Okay guys I am making my gamemode to work on a server that will continue run it, I mean, when someone win, the resource will be stopped and then can start again.

The problem is:

When I start my resource and there is no one on server it works fine, but when the gamemode stops, and there is already someone on server, I start the gamemode.

And onClientResourceStart will trigger 2xTimes (I am testing with 2 players online when I restart), and that will trigger on of my events on server side, doing things like 2x, and it gets all bugged

Timer bugged, spawn gui bugged... well thats the problem.

I dont know how to get around this..

Thanks in advance guys!!

Could you post the script which get's bugged?

Could you post the script which get's bugged?

Its about a timer starting from 30 to 0 and a gui spawn for teams, and its big

I think the solution was, if there were already 2 or more players on server wont trigger onClientResourceStart but would trigger onResourceStart instead , but I cant do this I guess.

Thanks castillo

What I understand is that is triggering everything * player count? so ex: 5 players, triggers 5 times the same thing.

Yes I guess , is there some function to see if players have already download resources then dont trigger onClientResourceStart but onResourceStart instead.

client side

  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(getThisResource()), function()  
     
    outputChatBox("Welcome to my server bro! This is only for Borderpatrol gamemode! ENJOY") 
    triggerServerEvent("checkTwoPlayersOnMode", getLocalPlayer()) 
end) 
  

So when the resource stops (reach the end) I will make it to start again, and when I test this, this event is triggered * (players on server).

And the event "checkTwoPlayersOnMode" will be trigger a big amout of times (depending on players online)

server side

  
  
    segundos = 30 
    timerEnabled = false 
    gamemodeStarted = false 
      
     addEvent("checkTwoPlayersOnMode", true) 
     function checkTwoAndNotStartedRunIT () 
      
        if gamemodeStarted == false then 
            if timerEnabled == false then 
                if(getPlayerCount() >= 2) then 
                    setTimer(escreve, 200, 1) 
                    triggerClientEvent("canShowGUISPAWN",getRootElement()) 
                else 
                    outputChatBox("NOTE: This gamemode need at least 2 players online to start!", source) 
                end 
            else 
                setElementData(source,"secondsRemaining",tostring(segundos)) 
                triggerClientEvent ( source, "showDX", source ) 
                triggerClientEvent(source,"canShowGUISPAWN",source) 
            end 
         
        else 
            outputChatBox("You will need to wait the gamemode to finish, sorry", source) 
        end 
      
      
     end 
     addEventHandler("checkTwoPlayersOnMode", getRootElement(), checkTwoAndNotStartedRunIT) 
  
       
       function escreve () 
        timerEnabled = true 
        for i,v in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            setElementData(v,"secondsRemaining",tostring(segundos)) 
            triggerClientEvent ( v, "showDX", v ) 
        end 
        setTimer(countDown,1000,30) 
    end 
    
      
    function countDown() 
        segundos = segundos -1 
            for i,v in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
                setElementData(v,"secondsRemaining",tostring(segundos)) 
            end 
             
            if segundos == 3 then 
                triggerClientEvent("hadChosenTeam", getRootElement()) 
            end 
             
            if segundos == 0 then 
                 
                triggerClientEvent ( "hideDX", getRootElement() ) 
                triggerClientEvent("hideSpawnGUI", getRootElement()) 
                 
                timerEnabled = false 
                gamemodeStarted = true 
                 
                if(#playersForIMI==#playersForPOL or #playersForIMI == #playersForIMI + 1 or #playersForPOL == #playersForIMI + 1) then 
                    spawn() 
                else 
                    outputChatBox("---Gamemode will run auto-balance---", getRootElement(), 255, 64, 64) 
                    autobalance() 
                     
                end 
            end 
    end 
      
    function onStart () 
            timerEnabled = false 
            if(getPlayerCount() >= 2) then 
                setTimer(escreve, 1500, 1) 
            end 
    end 
    addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), onStart ) 
  
  
  

And this is the function that will call the timer to start writing on all the clients, its working on the first time they join server, but if I restart and there are players on, the timer gets bugged because this event its called x amount of times, and the segundos get decrease - 2/-3/-4 (depending on players online) instead of -1 .

Did you guys understand? Thanks in advance, this is a major bug that I dont know how to fix it

Thanks.

Guys I fixed this, changing the onStart function, added the remove handler if there were more than 2 players

Thanks anyway!!

here is something that could be used:

Client:

  
me = getLocalPlayer() 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", root, 
        function(res) 
                triggerServerEvent("onPlayerClientResourceStarted",me, me, res) 
        end 
) 
  

Server:

  
addEvent("onPlayerClientResourceStarted", true) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerClientResourceStarted", root, 
        function(pl,res) 
               if res == getThisResource() then 
                     outputChatBox("*"..getPlayerName(pl).." has downloaded the gamemode and is ready to play!") 
               end 
        end 
)

               end 
        end 
) 

Thanks for ur help, I fixed the problem. but that is a good solution, to see when client had started the resource

thanks bro

Why you even want to stop the resource, why not make a function that will start the game all over, start the Count down.

Well I could do it. but I made all the script in this way. when a game ends, the resource is stoped. and then someone starts it again.

Thanks jacob
