Question related to TriggerClient/Server(Event)

[Hero192]

Hello dear MTA Scripters,

Today I want to ask about trigger function,

I want to know in which case I have to set root and source/player to sourceElement arguments

Like ,

triggerClientEvent (getRootElement(), "eventName", getRootElement()) 

and in which case I have to use source or player

triggerClientEvent (source, "eventName" source ) 

and does that refer the same as triggerServerEvent ?

triggerServerEvent("eventName", getRootElement() ) 

I really need to understand that properly..

Thanks in advance.

Anyone can explain to me this?

I'm not sure about the source == getRootElement() but I can say that these two are the same;

triggerClientEvent ( source, "eventName", source ); 
triggerClientEvent ( "eventName", source, source );  

You might even be able to leave out the second source is the second line since that'll only push the playerElement in the parameters in your client.

I mean is rootElement / resourceRoot needed? if so in which case I have to use it ?

[tosfera]

For a trigger, no. You can always take a random player with getRandomPlayer and not add a check to see if the source or given player equals to getLocalPlayer.

In my opinion, resourceRoot is the best solution when you send a trigger to all players.
