onClientResourceStart

[Link2012]

he, what's the difference between doing:

doStuff() 
doMoreStuff() 

and

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()) , 
    function(res) 
         doStuff() 
         doMoreStuff() 
    end 
); 

I can't see the point...

I do not understand what you mean.

[Tete omar]

doStuff() 
doMoreStuff() 

is a functions that happens when the resource start

just like

function doStuff() 
    outputChatBox("Resouce started") 
end 
  
function doMoreStuff() 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to this server!") 
end 

that was an example;)

You didn't understand, really (I expected I didn't had to say that doStuff and doMoreStuff are pseudo-funcs)

What I mean is, what's the difference between putting my functions\commands\whatever_I_Want_To_Do in onClientResourceStart and on the "main part" of the lua file, since the "main part" of the lua file has started, it means that the resource started, right?

I think there is no difference. i'm not secure.

yes , event 'onClientResourceStart' is triggered when the resource starts to run

and these 2 functions will be happened when the resource starts ..

So the answer is: there's no difference?

I'm not exactly sure of it's difference, but some times if you don't use it, some scripts may have not work, not all of them.

I explained it long time ago, viewtopic.php?f=91&t=23895&p=289200#p289183

In addition, if you want the script to work properly use events. If you don't and the script doesn't work then ask yourself why and remind yourself I suggested to use events. The difference is that on(Client)ResourceStart get triggered only when all the scripts within the resource get executed. If you're calling a function from a different file and that file hasn't started yet then your script will fail because it doesn't know about existence of that function. This is why you should use the event to be safe.
