SetCameraMatrix Problem

[Vic_RattleHead]

Hi, i have a problem the "setCameraPosition" appears only after downloading, I want to happen in the download

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root,                           
function() 
    outputChatBox("**Please wait, download in progress**", source, 255, 0, 0) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
     setCameraMatrix(source, 2003, -881, 130, 1832, -1249, 64) 
end )

You can add this option to your meta.xml if you want to start a script earlier than the others:

<download_priority_group>1</download_priority_group> 

Here is the explanation from the wiki:

If not set, the download priority group for a resource defaults to 0. If this is set higher than 0, then the resource will be downloaded and started on the client earlier than other resources. If set to less than 0, the resource will be downloaded and started on the client later than other resources.

In the early starting script you can change the environment prior to the download of the other resources.

the Problem is ,it will still trigger even tho the player has all the files done because the function is

onPlayerJoin 

it triggers everytime when a player joins your server even tho they have the download done.

He can make a clientside script, which will fade the camera in and change the camera matrix on resource start. I never implied he is forced to use onPlayerJoin.

I try what you said , but does not work

Client Side ::

    outputChatBox("**Please wait, download in progress**", 255, 0, 0) 
    fadeCamera(true) 
     setCameraMatrix(2003, -881, 130, 1832, -1249, 64) 

Then use the download group thing at 1

That's all you need.

Just do what, Necktrox said, then put the code client sided and replace the onPlayerJoin event name to onClientResourceStart.

ADD this line on your meta.xml

<download_priority_group>99</download_priority_group> 

Then add this code:

client side:

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,                           
    function ( ) 
         outputChatBox ( "**Please wait, download in progress**", 255, 0, 0 ) 
         fadeCamera ( true ) 
         setCameraMatrix ( 2003, -881, 130, 1832, -1249, 64 ) 
    end  
)

You don't need the onClientResourceStart, all you have to do is just leave it by itself in the code.

[KariiiM]

True ,but just to ensure that the client is started and yeah both of them do the same job

[Vic_RattleHead]

Not work, the "setCameraPosition" appears only after downloading, i dont know what the problem

[IIYAMA]

Keep it serverside, because (most of) the client scripts are starting after the download.

You could try to use a delay:

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, function() 
    setTimer(function (player) 
        if isElement(player)  then 
            outputChatBox("**Please wait, download in progress**", player, 255, 0, 0) 
            fadeCamera(player, true) 
            setCameraMatrix(player, 2003, -881, 130, 1832, -1249, 64) 
        end 
    end, 3000, 1, source) 
end)

In my case, I run a race DM Server, When someone joins he has 2 downloads. Might this could sound weard but I will expalin it.

The first one create the folders ...etc, I suposse that it loads server side scripts. When this is downloaded, the camera matrix should be started. Then the 2nd download started. Well, now are downloading the client files. I dont know if u get me, but it could help u.

Regards.
