Problem with settings

[MAB]

i am trying to make a setting for a resource i made and that settings changes the number of the seconds that should pass so the the timer do a function... debugscript message : Error : server triggered clientside event receiveSettings, but event is not added clientside

meta :

     "Michael" type="script" name="" description="" /> 
     

server :

local FuelTimer = get"timer" 
triggerClientEvent("receiveSettings", root, FuelTimer) 

client :

local timer = 60 
  
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()) , 
    function () 
    addEvent("receiveSettings", true) 
    end) 
addEventHandler("receiveSettings", root, 
    function(arg) 
        timer = arg 
    end 
)

Isn`t it because the server-side is being loaded before the client-side?

[Mr.Loki]

why not just

client :

local timer = 60 
addEvent("receiveSettings", true) 
addEventHandler("receiveSettings", root, 
    function(arg) 
        timer = arg 
    end 
) 

and shouldnt:

     "images\f.png" /> 
     "images\s.png" /> 
     "images\e.png" /> 
     "images\n.png" /> 
     "images\h.png" /> 
     "images\d.png" /> 
     "images\c.png" /> 

be:

     "images/f.png" /> 
     "images/s.png" /> 
     "images/e.png" /> 
     "images/n.png" /> 
     "images/h.png" /> 
     "images/d.png" /> 
     "images/c.png" /> 

do those images actually load?

Yes, they do load. "/" "\" are the same thing in the meta.xml. I'm sure he has a reason not the put that variable inside the script. ie. he is going to compile the resource and make it public, but he wants to make it dynamic so that you can change the rate of something in the meta, which is not compiled and can be edited.

hm.. i tried what are you talking about but didn't work

[Mr.Loki]

in your server script, is this inside of a function?

triggerClientEvent("receiveSettings", root, FuelTimer) 

[MAB]

no

[Mr.Loki]

Isn`t it because the server-side is being loaded before the client-side?

load the client before the server in the meta

[thisdp]

I think that the error message shows when you are downloading resource. This means your client script doesn't start when server triggers client event.From your script,I found that the value of "timer" is defined as "number" but in your meta, "timer" is a string.
