problem with triggerServerEvent

[John Smith]

hi im having some impossible problem which makes zero sense.

  
-- client 
triggerServerEvent("onSpawnRequest",localPlayer,spawnvehicle,posX,posY,posZ,rotX,rotY,rotZ,interior,alpha); 
  
-- server 
function asd(spawnvehicle,x,y,z,rotx,roty,rotz,interior,alpha) 
    outputChatBox(tostring(spawnvehicle)); 
end; 
  

On client side spawnvehicle is 411 (infernus vehicle id) and somehow on server side spawnvehicle argument is using x argument's value, so it's a coordinate instead of 411

why is that happening???????

Did you add the event for your server-side function?

[John Smith]

dude if i didn't add custom event on server side, it wouldn't output anything on chat omg

[AMARANT]

Then you have to check your client-side code more thoroughly or provide the full code here. Because everything you posted now seems OK.

nvm i fixed it by making workaround(this is mta bug i suppose), there was some issue with metamethods+this

I sometimes come across this. My solution is just to add a dummy parameter at the beginning. Always seems to work for me.

  
-- client 
triggerServerEvent("onSpawnRequest",localPlayer,spawnvehicle,posX,posY,posZ,rotX,rotY,rotZ,interior,alpha); 
  
-- server 
function asd(_, spawnvehicle,x,y,z,rotx,roty,rotz,interior,alpha) 
    outputChatBox(tostring(spawnvehicle)); 
end;

Yea.. um my problem was caused because i've been using metamethods.

so the function was something like

function table:asd(arg1,arg2,arg3)

end;

and in that metamethod function, self variable became the vehicle model, so spawnvehicle isn't required in function arguments.
