onClientMarkerHit Event

[Sorato]

Hello,

The following function should be a Client function:

function chat(hitPlayer, matchingDimension)

outputChatBox("Test123")

end

addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", getRootElement(), chat)

Why does it get triggered for a Client when another Client runs into the Marker? (Every player gets the chat message )

[DiSaMe]

Because the client is aware of other players entering the marker.

You need to check that the hit player is the local player.

if hitPlayer == localPlayer then

But why? If i use Client Events shouldn't they specifically be made for the Client? What's the sense or the use of the Client being aware of other Clients?

No. For example, you want to display a text on your screen when a player enters a marker. A lot of things, like displaying text, are only clientside available (simply because the server is just passing through and modifying data between clients and not rendering anything), so you do a clientside script using onClientMarkerHit.

Client-side script means a script that runs on the client's computer, not something that doesn't work with multiple clients. If client was unaware of other clients, it wouldn't be multiplayer.
