server returning data to client

[osnapitzjamie]

I'm creating my own data system rather than using setElementData.

I am trying to find a way to easily get the server to return info to the client.

function setData(element, key, value) 
    triggerServerEvent ( "setData", resourceRoot, element, key, value ) 
end 
  
function getData(element, key) 
  
end 

afaik triggerServerEvent returns true or false and can't return values.

How would I go about doing this?

trigger a serverEvent that triggers a Client Event.

Nevermind. Using a data system is pointless for client side things. I'll use elementData for those.
