onPlayerJoin problem

[Piorun]

Hi,

I want to ask you why if i have code:

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",root, 
    function() 
        triggerClientEvent(source,"playerJoined",root) 
    end 
) 

Someone who enters first time to server gots an error :

server triggered client side event, but event is not added client side

?

Client:

function playerJoined() 
    outputChatBox("welcome") 
end 
addEvent("playerJoined",true) 
addEventHandler("playerJoined",getRootElement(),playerJoined)

You have to add the event in client file:

addEvent("name",true)

then to trigger the event:

addEventHandler("name",root,function)

Just like ADCX said..

Else ,your client side function is missed up..or got smthing wrong

I think he knows about adding the code to the client, it's all in the documentation of:

triggerClientEvent 

The problem however is that the client files haven't been downloaded when onPlayerJoin is triggered server side which means that the client code doesn't exist yet. A better solution would be to use the client sided event:

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement( ), 
    function ( startedRes ) 
        -- Client resources has finished downloading here. 
    end 
);
