It is still not working for some reason.

Oops, some of it was wrong haha

-- I changed district[i] to district[i][1], since you're storing the
-- colshapes in an array. remove the the {} brackets where you store
-- the colshape, then you can do district[i]. Also again, a player check.
-- Everything's working now.

addEvent("onDistrictChange", true)
function districtChangeEvent(hitElement)
	if hitElement == localPlayer then
		for i=1,#district do
			if district[i][1] == source then
				triggerEvent("onDistrictChange", hitElement, districts[i][5])
			end
		end
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientColShapeHit", root, districtChangeEvent)

It works now, thank you!

I also had to make some changes in the test resource:

function test2(districtName)
	outputChatBox(getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer()).." entered "..districtName)
end
addEventHandler("onDistrictChange", getRootElement(), test2)

 

If anybody is interested here's the full script:

local district = {}

local districts = {
	-- x, y, width, height, name
  -- insert your custom districts here
	{ 0, 0, 100, 100, "Example District Name", 255, 225, 255 }, -- last three variables are the color of the radar area
}

function createDistricts()
	for k, v in ipairs(districts) do
		--createRadarArea(v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4], v[6], v[7], v[8], 75) -- to make the districts visible on the radar, use setDevelopmentMode(true) and /showcol 1 command to see the colshapes in the real world with a wireframe around it
		table.insert(district, {createColCuboid(v[1], v[2], -50, v[3]/1.5, v[4]/1.5, 1000)})
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), createDistricts)

addEvent("onDistrictChange", true)
function districtChangeEvent(hitElement)
	if hitElement and isElement(hitElement) then
		for i=1,#district do
			if district[i][1] == source then
				triggerEvent("onDistrictChange", hitElement, districts[i][5])
			end
		end
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientColShapeHit", root, districtChangeEvent)

function getDistrictName(element)
	if isElement(element) then
		for i=1,#district do
			if isElementWithinColShape(element,district[i][1]) then
				return districts[i][5]
			end
		end
		return ""
	end
end
