Table server->client doesnt work as should?

[zixxonx]

Hello! I have problem when using server-sided table on client-side

Let's take this table as a example:

informations = { 
   serverPort = 661, 
   players = { } 
} 

It's server sided. Now i want to pass this table to client-side. I've found something like this:

setTimer(triggerClientEvent, 1000, 0, "updateClientTable", root, informations)

It works flawlessy, but. When on client-side i do something like

informations = {} 
addEvent ( "updateClientTable", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "updateClientTable", root, 
    function ( _table) 
        informations = _table 
    outputChatBox(informations.serverPort) 
    end 
) 

It shows 661. When i use:

outputChatBox(#informations.players) to show how much players i've added it shows 0 even if it shows good amount on server side.

Example server code:

informations = { 
   serverPort = 661, 
   players = { } 
} 
local function addToTable() 
    for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType('player')) do 
        informations.players[i] = v 
    end 
    outputChatBox('players: '.. #informations.players) 
end 
addEvent('onMapStarting', true) 
addEventHandler ( "onMapStarting", root, addToTable)

Try to use table.insert istead of your way of adding element to a table.

Show how you're adding elements with table.insert.

[zixxonx]

table.insert(informations.players, v) 

in this loop.

It's very strange 'cause I checked your code and it works fine for me. Maybe you're counting players not at the moment you need and it returns 0. Check it more closely.

OMG. Forgive me. Foolish mistake. It've should been

function startRefreshing() 
    setTimer(triggerClientEvent, 1000, 0, "updateClientTable", root, informations) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), startRefreshing) 

instead of

    setTimer(triggerClientEvent, 1000, 0, "updateClientTable", root, informations)

Oh mate, I don't know how you are triggering your custom event 'onMapStarting', but I tried to change it, for example, to 'onResourceStart' and it works perfectly. Maybe that's your place where you went wrong.
