Getting Global Tables

[shaio]

I made a table on server side global. I want to access that table on client side.. How do I do this? Please help me.

server.lua - 

root = getRootElement()

rotators = {}
rotatorSet = createObject(13646,0,0,-10,0,0,0)
index = 0

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root,function()
    setTimer(rotateSetObject,30000,0)
    setTimer(rotateSecond,30000,0)
end)

function rotateSetObject()
    local px,py,pz = getElementPosition(rotatorSet)
    local prx,pry,prz = getElementRotation(rotatorSet)
    moveObject(rotatorSet,30000,px,py,pz,0,0,prz+180)
end

function rotateFirst()
    for i,u in pairs(rotators) do
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(u.object)
        local rx,ry,rz = getElementRotation(rotatorSet)
        moveObject(u.object,10,x,y,z,0,0,rz)
        setObjectScale(u.object,1.1)
        attachElements(u.vehicle,u.object,0,0,1.5,0,0,0)
    end
end

function rotateSecond()
    for i,v in pairs(rotators) do
        local sx,sy,sz = getElementPosition(v.object)
        local prx,pry,prz = getElementRotation(rotatorSet)
        moveObject(v.object,30000,sx,sy,sz,0,0,prz+180)
    end
end

function createRotator(player,cmd,id)
    if not isPedInVehicle(player) then
        local x,y,z = getElementPosition(player)
        table.insert(rotators,{id = index+1,object = createObject(13646,x,y,z-1.4,0,0,0),vehicle = createVehicle(id,x,y,z+2)})

    end
end

addEventHandler("onVehicleStartEnter",root,function(player,seat)
	if (getElementData(source,"rotateCar") == true) then
		cancelEvent()
		outputChatBox("You may not enter this vehicle!",player,255,0,0,true)
	end
end)

			destroyElement(p.vehicle)

		for _,plr in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
			outputChatBox("All rotators have been destroyed!",plr,255,0,0,true)
		end
	end,10000,1)
end)

function update(player,cmd)
	local rx,ry,rz = getElementRotation(rotatorSet)
	for i,c in ipairs(rotators) do
		setElementRotation(c.object,0,0,rz)
	end
end
addCommandHandler("updater",update)

 

client.lua -

localPlayer = getLocalPlayer()

function createText()
	for i,o in pairs(rotators) do
		local x,y,z = getElementPosition(o.vehicle)
		local sx,sy = getScreenFromWorldPosition(x,y,z+1)
		dxDrawText("ID: "..tostring(o.id),sx/2,sy/2,sx,sy,tocolor(255,255,255,255),1,"pricedown")
	end
end
 
function renderText()
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,createText)
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",root,renderText)

Global doesn't get shared across server/client. You'd need to send the data over to the client. Then each change to said table, sync to the client. The better question, why are you don't this? What's your end goal?

------------ server
function sendDataToClient()
  	triggerClientEvent(getRootElement(), "rotators.data", getRootElement(), rotators)
end
addEvent("rotators.send", true)
addEventHandler("roatators.send", getRootElement(), sendDataToClient)


------ client
rotators = {}
function recieveDataFromServer(data)
	for i,v in pairs(data) do
    	rotators[i] = v
    end
end
-- in the function u r drawing the text add this to it
triggerServerEvent("rotators.send", getLocalPlayer())
