onClientRender

[scienziato-pazzo]

Hi, I wrote this script for the client:

showPlayerHudComponent("clock", false) 
  
function updateHud() 
    outputChatBox("function test") -- It doesn't work 
    local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
    local sx, sy = screenWidth/1400, screenHeight/900 
    --[[local realtime = getRealTime() 
    local hour = realtime.hour 
    local minute = realtime.minute]]-- 
    dxDrawText("00:00", 1229*sx, 56*sy, 140*sx, 148*sy) 
end 
  
function timeHudF() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), updateHud)   
end 
  
addEventHandler("timeHud", getRootElement(), timeHudF) 

But the function updateHud is not called. Why?

timeHud event doesn't work, check code for it.

timeHud event doesn't work, check code for it.

It's called by the server.

EDIT: Yes, it doesn't work. The server script is this:

function hudChanger() 
    triggerClientEvent("timeHud", getRootElement()) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), hudChanger) 

[Dzejki]

add before

addEventHandler("timeHud", getRootElement(), timeHudF) 

this

addEvent("timeHud", true) 

[scienziato-pazzo]

add before

addEventHandler("timeHud", getRootElement(), timeHudF) 

this

addEvent("timeHud", true) 

Thanks! I missed that.

No problem, have fun with scripting

I added that

showPlayerHudComponent("clock", false) 
  
function updateHud() 
    outputChatBox("function test") -- It doesn't work 
    local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
    local sx, sy = screenWidth/1400, screenHeight/900 
    --[[local realtime = getRealTime() 
    local hour = realtime.hour 
    local minute = realtime.minute]]-- 
    dxDrawText("00:00", 1229*sx, 56*sy, 140*sx, 148*sy) 
end 
  
function timeHudF() 
    outputChatBox("test") -- It doesn't work 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), updateHud)   
end 
  
addEvent("timeHud", true) 
addEventHandler("timeHud", getRootElement(), timeHudF) 

But it doesn't work.

I can't see any mistake. Make sure that your clientside script is included in meta.

Yes, it is.

Well then it's obvious, isn't it? It's the server-side code that's likely to be messed up. And we can't assist any further if you don't post that part of the code.

I already posted it up.

function hudChanger() 
    triggerClientEvent("timeHud", getRootElement()) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), hudChanger)

function hudChanger() 
    triggerClientEvent("timeHud", getRootElement()) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), hudChanger) 

Sorry, missed that. It looks ay-okay. That should trigger for all clients though.

What if you put a message there, is the function "hudChanger" being executed at all?

[scienziato-pazzo]

Now all works. I don't know why, but it's a miracle.
