Resource starts 2 times

[heroes9898]

there is two times "INFO: ==== RESOURCE STARTED! ===="

i wrote into onResourceStart "outputDebugString( ==== RESOURCE STARTED! ====)" and i see now its starts two times.

The resource spawns vehicles 2 TIMES in same position!!

But this problem happens when I start the server, not the resource.

When i restart the resource, then starts normally.

Make sure the event handler is attached to the resource root element, and not to root.

WTF!!!! Thank you so much. Fixed.

And should every event handler have that resource root element? or only the onResourceStart's ?

And client events too?

So where should I use that resource root element, not root?

[heroes9898]

WOw. I understand now

I should use in ResourceStarts always getresourceRoot... and in other event handlers always the resourceroot , not it?

But when should I use "root" ??

root is a variable for getRootElement. You would use this, well, in the case of make a server welcome message.

Example:

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root --[[For all of the players]] , function ( ) 
    outputChatBox ( "Welcome to the server!", source, 255, 255, 255 ) -- Output text to the player who just joined. 
end )

You can make it shorter by using "resourceRoot".

by the way, heroes.

the second argument limits the source argument. in this case the source argument is the resource that started. "root" means every element, so the event is triggered every time any resource starts. changing the second arg to resourceRoot limits the source argument to resourceRoot, (resource root element), so that only that source can trigger it.
