onPlayerClientJoin

[DLmass]

I have some issues with this. No idea if it's a bug or not. Will someone let me know?

  
function checkTransferBox() 
    if not isTransferBoxActive() then 
        outputDebugString("Not visible, proceed") 
    else 
        setTimer(checkTransferBox, 2000, 1) 
        outputDebugString("Still visible, do not proceed") 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", root, checkTransferBox)

Dunno what exactly the problem is.

You didn't tell the bug.

You should maybe use onClientResourceStart ...

onClientPlayerJoin should be totally wrong here

Try this one:

  
addEventHandler ("onClientPlayerJoin", root, 
     function () 
          setTimer (checkTimer, 2000, 1) 
     end 
) 
  
function checkTimer () 
    if not isTransferBoxActive() then 
        outputDebugString("Not visible, proceed") 
    else 
        setTimer(checkTransferBox, 2000, 1) 
        outputDebugString("Still visible, do not proceed") 
    end 
end

I'm not telling anyone whether if onClientPlayerJoin is wrong or not. I'm just telling him how it works. Not up to me to decide which events to use, so instead of replying me whether it's right or wrong, post the solution

[DLmass]

qaisjp explained to me on IRC what it does and does not. Thanks again mate!

I've replaced onClientPlayerJoin with onClientResourceStart which made it work.

post the solution

No. That's not what people on this subforum should be doing.

We've been saying this for six damn years - providing the solution directly achieves nothing. The person asking the question will simply carry on asking questions and won't learn anything because they've been spoon fed everything.

Help people come to their own solution by teaching them what's right, what's wrong, and what they need to do next.

Sure, if you want to post the solution, feel free. But you better damn well explain what you've done.

If you count "onClientPlayerJoin should be totally wrong here", font-sized and quoted as a detailed explanation, then I agree I'm wrong.
