Noobie scripter with a error.

[PARKAH]

So I looked for a wiki to start MTA scripting, seeming as all the youtube videos were crap and I came across the wiki for MTA Scripting, I followed all the steps and got the resource testing step and came across a error saying;

start: Resource could not be found

Here is the script I made:

local spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ = 1959.55, -1714.46, 10 
function joinHandler() 
    spawnPlayer(source, spawnX, spawnY, spawnZ) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to My Server", source) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), joinHandler) 

(Created using the MTA Script Editor and got the script from the wiki)

Here are some pictures:

I don't see what I have done wrong, please help!

Did you create the resource after starting the server? If so, then you need to use 'refresh' command.

[PARKAH]

Nope, well, yes but I restarted the server and tried again.

[Baseplate]

Console says it couldn't parse meta.xml for the resource, recheck it.

[PARKAH]

What am I checking for? What does that mean?

[xXMADEXx]

use this for the meta:

<meta> <script src="script.lua" /> </meta> 

[Vector]

type in server console refreshall or restart server.

[PARKAH]

None of that is working

[Vector]

maybe there is something wrong in the meta.xml file. (a XML sintax error). because of that, it cannot be loaded.

[PARKAH]

How do i fix such a thing?

[Rockero]

This is the sintax....

 "Name" version="0.0.0" type="script" name="resourcename" /> 
    

[PARKAH]

Then mine is;

<meta> 
    <info author="PARKAH" version="0.1" name="myserver" description="test" type="gamemode" /> 
    <script src="script.lua" type="server" /> 
</meta> 

[K4stic]

This is the sintax....

 "Name" version="0.0.0" type="script" name="resourcename" /> 
    

fail

---- if the lua is server side
