Event not triggering

[Drakath]

Why does my server event not trigger when I try to pass ped element to it?

client

local ped = createPed(0, -1324, -88, 25) 
triggerServerEvent("giveMinigun", root, ped) 

server

addEvent("giveMinigun", true) 
function minig(cjPed) 
giveWeapon(cjPed, 38, 9999, true) 
end 
addEventHandler("giveMinigun", root, minig) 

No errors or warnings.

use

triggerClientEvent 

In server side btw giveWeapon can't be used in client side.

I mixed them up on this post, sorry. This problem isn't fixed though. I'll edit the post.

Haven't tested this but I found another way around. I just created the ped server-side. Anyway, thanks.
