start Resource if map is DM

[h4x7o0r]

Hello there,

I wanna check when map starts, if the map has specific word "dm" in its name. If so , i wanna start a resource . Otherwise, i want that the resource to be stopped during map playing.

I have the following code:

  
addEvent("onClientRequestRespawn", true) 
addEventHandler("onClientRequestRespawn", getRootElement(), 
function checkDM ( mapName ) 
    if not string.find( mapName, "[DD]", 1, true ) or string.find( mapName, "[FDD]", 1, true ) then 
        startResource (test)  
    else 
        stopResource (test) 
    end 
    )

Try this:

addEventHandler ( "onMapStarting", root, 
    function ( mapInfo ) 
        if string.find ( mapInfo.name, "[DM]", 1, true ) then 
            startResource ( getResourceFromName ( "TEST" ) ) 
        else 
            stopResource ( getResourceFromName ( "TEST" ) ) 
        end 
    end 
)

Thank you for your help. I've test it, but doesn't work without any error. client or server ? i've use it both (even with admin rights set on the resource itself).

Try this and see what it says on chat box:

addEventHandler ( "onMapStarting", root, 
    function ( mapInfo ) 
outputChatBox ( "Map name: ".. mapInfo.name ) 
        if string.find ( mapInfo.name, "[DM]", 1, true ) then 
            startResource ( getResourceFromName ( "TEST" ) ) 
        else 
            stopResource ( getResourceFromName ( "TEST" ) ) 
        end 
    end 
)

I've tried new code, nothing's appearing. What kind a script should this be ? i presume it's server-side.

LE. i've checked again and it's appearing Map name : ..

yes it is server-sided.

anyways, if that event isn't called, then I'm assuming that you aren't running the Race Gamemode

[h4x7o0r]

I'm using race gamemode and it's says for example : Map name : Cross XL DD

ok, is the resource test stopped?

[h4x7o0r]

yes it's stopped by default

[Jaysds1]

yes it's stopped by default

try starting a map with this in its name: "[DM]"

[h4x7o0r]

the mistake was that my maps was kinda Cross 1 DM and not Cross 1 [DM] like. So i've modified the script and now it's working very fine . Thank you guys for all your help. Now all i need is to figure it out why isn't working that well votemanager but there's another topic. Again thank you for helping me. All the best.
