Loadscript problem

[FatalTerror]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to load a script file with the loadstring function.

The problem is that: In the script file i've an event handler OnClientResourceStart but the resource is never started because i call it from my other resource.

File to load

  
function lol() 
    outputDebugString("Hello") 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),lol) 
  

And on my resource:

local file = fileOpen (":"..mapToLoad.."/"..xmlNodeGetAttribute (node, "src"), true); 
                            if file then 
                                local buffer; 
                                while not fileIsEOF(file)do 
                                    buffer = fileRead(file, fileGetSize(file)) 
                                    local l = assert(loadstring(buffer))(); 
                                end 
                                fileClose(file)  
                            end 

Someone know how to fix that?

Big Thanks.

After the script was loaded, you can trigger the 'onClientResourceStart' event from the resource you loaded the code.

After the script was loaded, you can trigger the 'onClientResourceStart' event from the resource you loaded the code.

Can you explain a bit more please?

[Castillo]

Just after you finish loading the code with loadstring, you do:

triggerEvent ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot )

Just after you finish loading the code with loadstring, you do:

triggerEvent ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot ) 

Obviously, something went wrong.

Are you sure we can do a trigger from server side to a loaded script in client side?

[Castillo]

What do you mean by "from server side to a loaded script in client side"?

[FatalTerror]

What do you mean by "from server side to a loaded script in client side"?

My current loadstring() is on a file server-side and i'm trying to load a script client-side.

The triggerEvent will call a client event not server. You know what I mean? Maybe it's the reason of the bug, i don't know.

[Castillo]

You're using loadstring client or server side?

[FatalTerror]

You're using loadstring client or server side?

Server side.

[Castillo]

Then how do you expect it to work? you're trying to load a client side script on a server side script, doesn't make any sense.

I thought loadstring make the diference by himself.

Only the server script is loaded. The client script doesn't work.

For the server, the client file doesn't exist. It's weird.

server-side:

if fileExists (":"..mapToLoad.."/"..xmlNodeGetAttribute (node, "src"))then 
                            if(xmlNodeGetAttribute (node, "type") == "server")then 
                                -- server script 
                                outputDebugString("Call loadstring from serverside") 
                                local file = fileOpen (":"..mapToLoad.."/"..xmlNodeGetAttribute (node, "src"), true); 
                                if file then 
                                    local buffer; 
                                    while not fileIsEOF(file)do 
                                        buffer = fileRead(file, fileGetSize(file)) 
                                        local l = assert(loadstring(buffer))(); 
                                    end                              
                                    fileClose(file)  
                                end 
                            else 
                                -- client script 
                                outputDebugString("Call loadstring from clientside") 
                                triggerClientEvent("doLoadStringClientSide", getRootElement(), ":"..mapToLoad.."/"..xmlNodeGetAttribute (node, "src")) 
                            end 
                        end 

server-side:

addEvent("doLoadStringClientSide", true); 
addEventHandler("doLoadStringClientSide", getRootElement(), 
function(name) 
    outputDebugString("Receive "..name) 
    if(fileExists(name))then 
        local file = fileOpen (name, true); 
        if file then 
            outputDebugString("File exist?") 
            local buffer; 
            while not fileIsEOF(file)do 
                buffer = fileRead(file, fileGetSize(file)) 
                loadstring(buffer)(); 
                 
            end                              
            fileClose(file)  
        end 
    else 
        outputDebugString(" The script file doesn't exist !", 1); 
    end 
     
    triggerEvent("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource())) 
end)

The file is on the meta.xml of the loader? because if it's not, then how do you expect it to be on the client downloaded folder?

Oh well, that's right...

If I open the file in server side and I load it in client-side. That could work? no?

Otherwise, exist an function to force the download?

[Castillo]

You can send the content of the file to the client side, then load it.

[FatalTerror]

You can send the content of the file to the client side, then load it.

Okay, this time the loadstring don't want execute it

                                -- client script 
                                local file = fileOpen (":"..mapToLoad.."/"..xmlNodeGetAttribute (node, "src"), true); 
                                local fileContent = ""; 
                                if file then 
                                    local buffer; 
                                    while not fileIsEOF(file)do 
                                        buffer = fileRead(file, fileGetSize(file)) 
                                        fileContent = fileContent..buffer; 
                                    end  
                                    fileClose(file); 
                                    triggerClientEvent("doLoadStringClientSide", getRootElement(), fileContent) 
                                end 

addEvent("doLoadStringClientSide", true); 
addEventHandler("doLoadStringClientSide", getRootElement(), 
function(fileText) 
    if fileText then 
        outputConsole(fileText); 
        loadstring(fileText)();                      
    else 
        outputDebugString("Something went wrong...", 1); 
    end 
     
    triggerEvent("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource())) 
end) 

loadstring work in client-side? Nothing happens.

[Castillo]

What 'fileText' returns?

[FatalTerror]

What 'fileText' returns?

He returns that:

outputDebugString("CLIENT DONE") 
  

I put that for test.

Up? Nobody ?
