Help (( getPlayerIP ))

[manve1]

I tried getting getPlayerIP, from server-side to client-side, but i just can't manage it, i'm tring to set a label to the player IP, but for me it seems impossible

Make sure that the resource have access to function getPlayerIP, this can be done via adding the resource to admin group in ACL.

server

  
function getIP() 
    local ip = getPlayerIP(source) 
    setElementData(source, "IP", ip) 
end 
addEvent("getIP", true) 
addEventHandler("getIP", root, getIP) 

client

  
triggerServerEvent("getIP", localPlayer) 
local ip = getElementData(localPlayer, "IP") 
guiSetText(label, ip)

If it's too slow, it won't reach to set it before set the text ( if I'm right ), I think is better to set the IP as element data when they join the server, then just get it client side.

Ideally you should do it client -> server -> client

Element data would be a waste of data, if only one client needs the information.

Setting element data would effectively be triggering a client event for every player.

How can you make that it would stream in quicker, because when i join, it doesn't change the label to IP :\

CLIENT:

addEventHandler('onClientPlayerJoin', getRootElement(), 
function() 
triggerServerEvent("getIP", localPlayer) 
local ip = getElementData(localPlayer, "IP") 
guiSetText(labelIP2, ip) 
end 
) 

SERVER:

function getIP() 
    local ip = getPlayerIP(source) 
    setElementData(source, "IP", ip) 
end 
addEvent("getIP", true) 
addEventHandler("getIP", root, getIP) 

[TAPL]

-- Client Side --

guiSetText(labelIP2, getElementData(localPlayer, "IP")) 

-- Server Side --

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, 
function() 
     setElementData(source, "IP", getPlayerIP(source)) 
end)
