How can I make my export function work?

[IIYAMA]

Export from Stealth: (player does exist)

exports.syncro_fixing:gasmaskon(player) 

Other script:

<export function="gasmaskon" type="server"/> 

  
function gasmaskon (player) 
aPlayerCheck[player]["gasmask"]=true; 
end 

Error:

ERROR: call: failed to call 'syncro_fixing:gasmaskon' [string "?"]

(both are running/no other errors)

[Castillo]

You are using the function in a server side script?

[IIYAMA]

client:

exports.syncro_fixing:gasmaskon(player)

server:

function gasmaskon (player)

aPlayerCheck[player]["gasmask"]=true;

end

[Castillo]

You are using the exported function in a client side script, but the function is only server side.

[IIYAMA]

So I have to trigger first the server function in the same folder.

then

export?

I don't understand what do you mean.

But you can't use a exported function which is server side in a client side script.

[IIYAMA]

I mean:

--client

triggerServerEvent ( string event, element theElement, [arguments...] ) --1

--server

addEvent... --2

addEventHandler etc..

Function .. ()

exports.syncro_fixing:gasmaskon(player) --3

end

--export function

Yeah, you can do that.

[IIYAMA]

Almost:

  
--client 
triggerServerEvent ( "gasmaskexport", player ) 
outputChatBox(player)-- user data visible 
  

  
--server 
addEvent ("gasmaskexport", true ) 
function gasmaskexporter (player) 
exports.syncro_fixing:gasmaskon(player) 
end 
addEventHandler ("gasmaskexport", getRootElement(), gasmaskexporter) 
  

Error:

  
--server export end 
function gasmaskon (player) 
aPlayerCheck[player]["gasmask"]=true; 
end 
  

ERROR: [ouder_server]\syncro_fixing\syncro_server.lua:1250: attempt to index field '?' ( a nil value)

ERROR: call: failed to call 'syncro_fixing:gasmaskon' [string "?"]

-- client side:

triggerServerEvent ( "gasmaskexport", localPlayer ) 

-- server side:

addEvent ("gasmaskexport", true ) 
function gasmaskexporter ( ) 
exports.syncro_fixing:gasmaskon ( source ) 
end 
addEventHandler ("gasmaskexport", getRootElement(), gasmaskexporter) 

[IIYAMA]

I don't get it, sebbe.

>--server export end

Let me try.

Working 100%

thx solidsnake

Why use triggers when you can just set the lua file to both types: server, client.

syncro_fixing/meta.xml

<meta> 
<script src="exports.lua" type="server" /> 
<script src="exports.lua" type="client" /> 
  
<export function="gasmaskon" type="server" /> 
<export function="gasmaskon" type="client" /> 
</meta> 

You never returned a value.

syncro_fixing/exports.lua

function gasmaskon(player) 
return aPlayerCheck[player]["gasmask"]=true 
end 
  

s_gasmask.lua

exports.syncro_fixing:gasmaskon(player)

Heh? You sure that won't give trouble?

People will have to download client and server scripts, don't they? The client script does already have arround 800 lines, the server is 2 times more.

[Anderl]

Players don't download server scripts.

This is used by all professional servers. There's simply no need to make multiple files instead of one.

[Anderl]

It just makes no sense to put a file client and server-sided just because he wants to call a function from server-side. You don't even know if IIYAMA has more code in that file and making it server-side when it has client-side code will make it not work server-sided as it will throw errors. If you want to use a server function in client code, use triggerServerEvent or just make a file with both types where you'll add all functions that can be client and server-sided.

I thought he is making an export system, which allows him to get functions from that system in another resources. Do forget my posts if I was wrong, but if he's going to use that function all over again in other resources many times then he should put it to a separate lua file and then set it both client and server-side.

The problem is already solved.
