Tables

[DarkByte]

Hello there, I want to make a custom downloader with downloadFile. I found a table on forums but how to loop through it to check all the files to download?

   {"txd", "mods/m4.txd", 356}, 
    {"dff", "mods/m4.dff", 356}, 
    {"txd", "mods/sniper.txd", 358}, 
    {"dff", "mods/sniper.dff", 358},

My code:

  
local downloadFiles = { 
 {"txd", "vehicles/tampa.txd", 549}, 
    {"dff", "vehicles/tampa.dff", 549}, 
  
} 
  
  
for _, downFile in pairs( downloadFiles ) do 
    downloadFile ( downFile[2] ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientFileDownloadComplete", resourceRoot, 
    function ( file, success ) 
        if ( success ) then 
            for _, downFile in pairs( downloadFiles ) do 
            if ( file == downFile[2] and fileExists(downFile[2]) )  then 
                local txdalp = engineLoadTXD ( downFile[2] ) 
                local dffalp = engineLoadDFF ( downFile[2], downFile[3] ) 
                engineImportTXD ( txdalp, downFile[3] ) 
                engineReplaceModel ( dffalp, downFile[3] ) 
           end     
       end 
  end 
  end 
) 
  
function checkIfPlayerAlreadyHasDownloaded() 
            for _, downFile in pairs( downloadFiles ) do 
            if ( file == downFile[2] and fileExists(downFile[2]) )  then 
                local txdalp = engineLoadTXD ( downFile[2] ) 
                local dffalp = engineLoadDFF ( downFile[2], downFile[3] ) 
                engineImportTXD ( txdalp, downFile[3] ) 
                engineReplaceModel ( dffalp, downFile[3] ) 
                outputChatBox("replacing") 
                else 
                outputChatBox("client has no carmods, and has triggered the download!") 
                for _, downFile in pairs( downloadFiles ) do 
    downloadFile ( downFile[2] ) 
end 
end 
end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerSpawn",root,checkIfPlayerAlreadyHasDownloaded) 
  

Made it now, but it gives me errors.

and it's not showing the text replacing only when im respawning it outputs 2 times outputChatBox("client has no carmods, and has triggered the download!")

i don't recommend you to use DownloadFile "onClientPlayerSpawn".

Read the note : This function may cause performance issues with client and/or server.

I replaced it with onClientResourceStart. And I always get these errors.

I replaced it with onClientResourceStart. And I always get these errors.

You are using fileExists to skip downloadFile, but fileExists does not check the file content.

downloadFile automatcially checks the existing file first, and will immediately trigger onClientFileDownloadComplete if download is not required.

Simply If you are only using downloadFile to download mod files after other resources, then do not use downloadFile, and instead set

'-1' in the resource meta.xml

280 mbs for mods, no

Could you fix my code? I got a lot of errors

[Walid]

280 mbs for mods, no

So the The solution is:

1) Remove fileExists().

2) Always call downloadFile for files with download="false".

3) Only use the file after onClientFileDownloadComplete is triggered.

Still got same messages in debug.

try this

  
  
local downloadFiles = { 
    {"txd", "vehicles/tampa.txd", 549}, 
    {"dff", "vehicles/tampa.dff", 549}, 
  
} 
  
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function () 
        for _, downFile in pairs( downloadFiles ) do 
            downloadFile ( downFile[2] ) 
        end 
    end  
) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientFileDownloadComplete", resourceRoot, 
    function ( file, success ) 
        if ( success == true ) then

It's replacing, same errors in debug and every time i spawn they replace

It's replacing, same errors in debug and every time i spawn they replace

1) Check your meta.xml file.

2) Check mods path.

3) Try using outputDebugString to see what the problem is.
