Split arguments to pieces?

[megaman54]

I'm currently using the function takePlayerScreenshot and i need to transfer the data to client side for preview but sometimes the string size of the screenshot data is over 65535 characters and that is over the argument length limit in triggerClientEvent.

How i could split that argument to pieces and send it and then combine the pieces client side?

I think you don't need to split it if you use this function:

Not sure, since I never used it myself before

But that function isn't available until MTA 1.3.1 onwards.

Solution is create table.

And check sub string like 1,65535.

And send with parts to client.

Like this:

  
function fPack ( str ) 
    local t = { } 
    local new = str 
    while #new >= 65535 do 
        t[ #t + 1 ] = string.sub( new, 1, 65535 ) 
        triggerClientEvent( root, 'onSomeEvent', root, t[ #t ] ) 
        new = string.gsub( new, string.sub( new, 1, 65535 ), '' ) 
    end 
    t[ #t + 1 ] = string.sub( new, 1, #new ) 
    triggerClientEvent( root, 'onSomeEvent', root, t[ #t ] ) 
    if #t == 0 then 
        t[1] = new 
    end 
    return t 
end
