race state

[Newbie]

local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local defScale = 1 
local currentScale = defScale 
local maxScale = 2 
local step = 0.05 -- How fast to change the size 
local turn = true -- true = increase size, false = decrease size 
local text = "Loading next map" 
local font = dxCreateFont("myFont.ttf",10) 
  
function renderPulse() 
  if turn == true then -- If we increase the value 
    currentScale = currentScale + step 
    if currentScale > maxScale then 
      currentScale = maxScale 
      turn = false -- Reached max? Then make it go back 
    end 
  else 
    currentScale = currentScale - step 
    if currentScale < defScale then 
      currentScale = defScale 
      turn = true 
    end 
  end 
  local width = dxGetTextWidth(text,currentScale,font) 
  local height = dxGetFontHeight(currentScale,font) 
  dxDrawText(text,x/2-width/2,y/2-height/2,width,height,tocolor(255,255,255,255),currentScale,font) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),renderPulse) 

I need to make this work only if race state is "LoadingMap"

[Dealman]

function exampleFunction_Handler(newState, oldState) 
    if(newState == "LoadingMap") then 
        -- Your code here 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onRaceStateChanging", false) 
addEventHandler("onRaceStateChanging", getRootElement(), exampleFunction_Handler) 

This event is server-side.

[Newbie]

Well, i know.

Thats why im asking bcz my code is client sided

[Gallardo9944]

Oh wow, full copypaste of my example

Use triggerClientEvent.

[Newbie]

Oh wow, full copypaste of my example

Use triggerClientEvent.

Yes its yours, i find dat in forum. Thanks

[Dealman]

You'll need to change the boolean from false to true if you want to be able to remotely trigger it from a client.

Nvm, misunderstood what you're trying to do.

Just create an event for your client-side function, and trigger it via the server-side event I provided.

[Newbie]

A little help mby ?

function exampleFunction_Handler(newState, oldState) 
    if(newState == "LoadingMap") then 
         triggerClientEvent ( dont know what to write here.) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onRaceStateChanging", false) 
addEventHandler("onRaceStateChanging", getRootElement(), exampleFunction_Handler) 

[Dealman]

Create the event client-side using addEvent, then use an event handler. IE;

function myClientFunction_Handler() 
    -- Wow, such code. Very program 
end 
addEvent("myEvent", true) -- True means you can trigger this event via the server. False means you can not. 
addEventHandler("myEvent", getRootElement(), myClientFunction_Handler) -- You'll of course need an event handler. 

Then trigger it via the server like this;

triggerClientEvent("myEvent", getRootElement()) -- This will trigger for all players. 
triggerClientEvent(playerElement, "myEvent", getRootElement()) -- This will trigger for the specified player element only. 

Edit: Of course you can use it to transfer data as well. Example;

function myServerFunction_Handler() 
    local argumentOne = "Hello World!"; 
    local argumentTwo = 1.337; 
    triggerClientEvent("myEvent", getRootElement(), argumentOne, argumentTwo) 
end 
  
function myClientFunction_Handler(arg1, arg2) -- You can define those with whatever name you want 
    outputChatBox(arg1) 
    outputChatBox(tostring(arg2)) -- Since 2nd variable is a float value - convert it to a string 
end 
addEvent("myEvent", true) 
addEventHandler("myEvent", getRootElement(), myClientFunction_Handler)

Did i fail ?

Client:

local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local defScale = 1 
local currentScale = defScale 
local maxScale = 2 
local step = 0.05 -- How fast to change the size 
local turn = true -- true = increase size, false = decrease size 
local text = "Loading next map" 
local font = dxCreateFont("myFont.ttf",10) 
  
  
function myClientFunction_Handler() 
  if turn == true then -- If we increase the value 
    currentScale = currentScale + step 
    if currentScale > maxScale then 
      currentScale = maxScale 
      turn = false -- Reached max? Then make it go back 
    end 
  else 
    currentScale = currentScale - step 
    if currentScale < defScale then 
      currentScale = defScale 
      turn = true 
    end 
  end 
  local width = dxGetTextWidth(text,currentScale,font) 
  local height = dxGetFontHeight(currentScale,font) 
  dxDrawText(text,x/2-width/2,y/2-height/2,width,height,tocolor(255,255,255,255),currentScale,font) 
end 
addEvent("myEvent", true)  
addEventHandler("myEvent", getRootElement(), myClientFunction_Handler) 

Server:

function exampleFunction_Handler(newState, oldState) 
    if(newState == "LoadingMap") then 
        triggerClientEvent(playerElement, "myEvent", getRootElement()) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onRaceStateChanging", false) 
addEventHandler("onRaceStateChanging", getRootElement(), exampleFunction_Handler) 

[Dealman]

Well you need to define the player element. As of now it's returning nil - and as such the event won't be triggered. Try removing the playerElement.

Then it will trigger for all players currently on the server.

[Newbie]

I think it dont work because i'd had to remove this line:

addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),renderPulse)

Still dont work

Did you do that?

It starts when state is LoadingMap

but dont stops when state loadingMap finished

How to kill it on state Running

[Karuzo]

--server

addEventHandler("onRaceStateChanging", getRootElement(), exampleFunction_Handler) 
  
 --client 
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local defScale = 1 
local currentScale = defScale

[Newbie]

Thanks.

I've removed playerElement otherwise i was getting a nil.

[Karuzo]

ah yeah, was my mistake.

You're welcome.

[Newbie]

it works perfectly, but when i login with /login

it starts to bug, it shows all the time.. Strange..
