[QUESTION] triggerClientEvent, triggerServerEvent.

[PotatoHead]

I have a question like the title states. I am wondering if I have files set up like so:

MTA Server/mods/deathmatch/resources/login/login_c.lua

Then I have a file like so:

MTA Server/mods/deathmatch/resources/login/arena_c.lua

So my question is "Can I use 'triggerClientEvent' in the login file to trigger something in the arena file? I tested it and it didnt seem to work so I decided to ask.

[golanu21]

trrigerClientEvent is used just in Server is make the transmision betwen login_s, to an event in login_c, what you need there is an export

[PotatoHead]

Aww damn could you explain how to use that. I checked the wiki but it is confusing to me. And thanks

[TAPL]

I guess this is what you need.

call 

[Sasu]

If you are in the same resource, you can use as normal function.

yourFunctionName() 

[PotatoHead]

Oh okay so say I am runnning a client function called myRes that is in the arena_c. I wouls use this in the login_c

myRes()

and that would run it?

[PotatoHead]

Thanks for the help everyone but I cant seem to get anything to work... I dont really understand the Export and call functions and what Sasuke* suggested isnt working right now.

[EstrategiaGTA]

call 

Click in 'call' and read it.

[Sasu]

Try with

triggerEvent 

[PotatoHead]

call has been suggested. I don understand it. And triggerEvent I dont think it will wont but I will try it and get back to you.

[denny199]

triggerEvent, will work.

For example in login_c.lua is there a function for hiding the window, and you want to show the other windows while it hiding and you have on arenas_c.lua a eventhandler called "derp:polate", then you can use this:

triggerEvent ( "derp:polate", localPlayer ) 

feel free to ask us more if you still can't figure out.

[PotatoHead]

Well thanks denny will try this today. Thanks for the help everyone. I will be making a post for my gamemode soon.

[PotatoHead]

Well triggerEvent worked. Thanks guys!
