problem with getElementData

[[Cats]And]

Problem with getElementData in client-side script. When player join server, all data from getElementData is false. On server-side all correct.

Test script:

userDataTable = { 
    ["1"] = "1", 
    ["2"] = "2"} 
local localPlayer = getLocalPlayer() 
local citem 
  
for i,citem in pairs(userDataTable) do 
    local value = getElementData(localPlayer, citem) 
    outputDebugString(value) 
end

When is the data set?

When is the data set?

When player join on server in server-side script.

Yes, with 1 sec wait all data is correct. But why client-side script running before server-side script?

That code above, how are you executing it? inside a function?

No.

[Castillo]

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function ( ) 
        local userDataTable = 
            { 
                [ "1" ] = "1", 
                [ "2" ] = "2" 
            } 
        local citem 
  
        for i, citem in pairs ( userDataTable ) do 
            local value = getElementData ( localPlayer, citem ) 
            outputDebugString ( value ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

Try it.

Try it.

Thanks for helping.

But why client-side script running before server-side script?

I'm not sure if it runs before server-side scripts, but what I do know is, anything outside the function is ran first.

Example:

setElementData(localPlayer,"Test","Test") --This would run right away, basically setting the player data after the resource is downloaded 
addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit",root,function() 
setElementData(localPlayer,"Test","New Test") --This would set the player data after they hit a marker 
end)
