Call/Exports function

[ViRuZGamiing]

Hi guys

 

I was looking into:

call

and I was wondering, for example; you have the function

outputChatBox("")

which works both client and server side with the same name. Will I be able to do the same with exports. Example;

Client

function drawDxStuff ()
  --dx stuff
end

addEvent("drawDxStuff", true)
addEventHandler("drawDxStuff", getRootElement(), drawDxStuff)

Server

function drawDxStuff()
  triggerClientEvent(source, "drawDxStuff", source) --source would probably be the player calling the function
end

Meta

<export function="drawDxStuff" type="server"/>
<export function="drawDxStuff" type="client"/>

 

Would this work or will this give an error cause they have the same name or for other reasons?

Kind Regards

Maybe add client and server to the names since you are trying to call one export while there are 2 results for this.

So I do have to name them by 2 different names, it's not possible to have 1 name?

function drawDxStuff(player)
    if player and isElement(player) then
        triggerClientEvent(player, "drawDxStuff", player)
    end 
end

Then use this server side

exports.resourceName:drawDxStuff(player)

And in the dx stuff part just added (onClientRender) event

I do know how that works, mine is just an analogue example to show you what I mean, I do know i'd need an onClientRender, etc. it could've been GUI as well, just an example.

 

My question is all about a client OR server sided function which can be called from both client AND server side with the same name 'exported'.

For example (as mentioned before): outputChatBox() which is both Server and Client sided (Shared Function)

Yeah, you can export both functions with the same name as long as the functions are present on both the server and client. I did the same thing on one of my scripts before. Nothing wrong with your example.

Thanks for the clear answer!
