Need to know function

[EngMohamedLish]

I need to know, how to check if there are starting resources, If you didn't get it. I mean something like, checks if a resource is starting, i can do an event. I don't mean a specefied resource, I talk about, if "any" resource is starting.

You may use onResourcePreStart or onResourceStart.

You may use onResourcePreStart or onResourceStart.

I know them both already..... As i said, i need to check for starting resources in general, not a speciefied resource... Do you understand? Lemme make an example

if a resource is starting then 
  

Not a specefied resource... because , i need to do an action, when every resource starts....

Try this one

function YourFunction() 
    for index, res in ipairs(getResources()) do 
        local state = getResourceState(res) 
        if state == "running" then  
        -- You code here 
        end 
    end  
end

Thats why he showed you the event, they trigger when a resource is about to start / starting.

I've put the code for both a server script and a client script, the only difference is the name of the event ("onResourceStart" and "onClientResourceStart")

This is how it's done:

-- SERVER variation 
function checkStartedRes(res) 
    -- Code here 
    outputChatBox("Started resource: " .. getResourceName(res)) 
end 
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root,checkStartedRes) 
  
  
  
  
  
  
-- CLIENT variation 
  
function checkStartedRes(res) 
    -- Code here 
    outputChatBox("Started resource: " .. getResourceName(res)) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",root,checkStartedRes) 

Use onResourcePreStart if you want it to trigger before a resource is starting.
