getIDFromEventName issue

[Chaos]

hi, i got problem with this code, i'm trying to get ID from event name but it seems not working and every time it gives random number and the event names is containing space any idea?

  
  
addEvent('nextEventVoteResult') 
addEventHandler('nextEventVoteResult', getRootElement(), 
    function(eventName) 
    local eventID = getIDFromEventName(eventName) 
    outputChatBox(eventID,root) 
    end 
) 
  
  
function getIDFromEventName(eventName) 
   for i,v in ipairs(events) do 
       if v.name == eventName then 
         return i 
      end 
   end 
   return false 
end

I dont think you can do this, you need to define the function first, then use it

like function getIDFromEventName() ...

......

then

addEvent ......

Wrong. It is not like that. The server side script loads and then whenever that event is triggered, that function is already loaded so the function is triggered.

Also, may I see your events table? I guess that is the problem or do you sort the table using table.sort?

Thanks for the correction
