How to get the coordinates of non streamable Vehicle?

This is required on the server side.

It's a bad answer: when my train goes to another station, getElementPosition at some point unchanged gives the coordinates (the point where the train left me visible region).

Attach a blip to it, and get cords of the blip.

[pro-mos]

triggerServerEvent ( event, theElement, positionX, positionY, posZ) 

and then use this server side

addEvent("event") 

then make use of the position with an event handler..

But I made it complicated:

Server

local root = getRootElement() 
local freight = createVehicle(537,2285,-1285,25.7) 
addEvent("toserver",true) 
addEventHandler("toserver",root, 
function(driver) 
  triggerClientEvent(driver,"toclient",root,freight) 
end) 
addEvent("xyz",true) 
addEventHandler("xyz",root, 
function(x,y,z) 
  outputChatBox(" " .. x .. " " .. y .. " " .. z ) 
end) 
setTimer(function() 
  setTrainSpeed(freight,0.5) 
end,200,0) 
  

Client

local root = getRootElement() 
addEventHandler("onClientVehicleEnter",root, 
function(player) 
  if player == localPlayer then 
    triggerServerEvent("toserver",root,player) 
  end 
end) 
addEvent("toclient",true) 
addEventHandler("toclient",root, 
function(freight) 
  setElementStreamable(freight,false) 
  setTimer(function() 
    triggerServerEvent("xyz",root,getElementPosition(freight)) 
  end,300,0) 
end) 
  

What did I do wrong?

Server

  
local freight = createVehicle(537,2285,-1285,25.7) 
  
addEventHandler("onVehicleEnter",root, 
function(driver) 
  triggerClientEvent(driver,"toclient",root,freight) 
end) 
  
addEvent("xyz",true) 
addEventHandler("xyz",root, 
function(x,y,z) 
  outputChatBox(" " .. x .. " " .. y .. " " .. z ) 
end) 
  
setTimer(function() 
  setTrainSpeed(freight,0.5) 
end,200,0) 
  

Client

  
addEvent("toclient",true) 
addEventHandler("toclient",root, 
function(freight) 
  setElementStreamable(freight,false) 
  setTimer(function() 
      triggerServerEvent("xyz",root,getElementPosition(freight)) 
  end,300,0) 
end) 
  

this would spam the chat with the train position, no matter what car you enter and even when you exit the train

Thanks, the problem is solved.

I hope and maybe solution to a purely server-side, when there is no connected client?

If there's no clients connected then you dont need to setElementStreamable()

So there is no point of making that server side only
