Including script files

[Wherry]

Hello! Can you guys help me? I have file a.lua and b.lua and i need to call functions from b.lua in a.lua. How to do it?

btw: I already tried dofile() loadfile() (MTA says that it's unsafe functions).

also i tried to define variables as global:

b.lua:

x = "Hello World"

a.lua

outputChatBox(x)

This example outputs error too.

And ofcourse i tried to use triggerEvent + addEvent but it's bad.

Thank you!

Yes ofcourse. Both files are client-side

Use global variables and settings files

[BriGhtx3]

first file :

function abc() 
number1 = 60 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getRootElement(),abc) 
  

second file :

  
function bbc() 
outputChatBox(tostring(number1)) 
end 
addCommandHandler("text",bbc)

xthepr0mise,Your getRootElement is wrong( nil ) in first file.

Should be root or getRootElement( ).

If you make a global variable/function in one script, it will be available in another script of the same resource on the same side.

also i tried to define variables as global:

b.lua:

x = "Hello World"

a.lua

outputChatBox(x)

Are you sure that code in a.lua was executed after b.lua, not before it?

xthepr0mise,Your getRootElement is wrong( nil ) in first file.

Should be root or getRootElement( ).

No, it's not nil. If it was nil, then getRootElement() would be wrong too because nil value can't be called. getRootElement is a function value.

Ah,yeah this is function variable but not called .

Anyway addEventHandler return false.

Are you sure that code in a.lua was executed after b.lua, not before it?

Better use event onResourceStart ( if server side ) and call function.

And do not think about such issues.

Sorry, I always type it in the browser and dont check it afterwards.
