expected string at argument 1,got nil

[Avagard]

idk what is the problem i am trying to trigger for player after 2 mins but it doesn't work (setelment works)

error: expected string at argument 1,got nil

code(serverside):

endtimeRound1 = setTimer ( function()
local getCTscore1 = getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")
local getTscore1 = getElementData(scoreT1,"roundswonbyt1")
setElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1",getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")+1)
triggerClientEvent (source, "getitServer1",source, getCTscore1,getTscore1)	
end, 129000, 0)

Which line is it?

[Avagard]

line 5

 

[NeXuS™]

And what is "source"?

[Avagard]

the player that is getting triggered? is that wrong?

[NeXuS™]

Can you copy the whole function?

[Avagard]

function omg1(getCTscore1,getTscore1)
local player = getLocalPlayer()
setElementData(player,"ClientCTWins1",getCTscore1)
setElementData(player,"ClientTWins1",getTscore1)
end
addEvent("getitServer1",true)
addEventHandler("getitServer1",root,omg1)

client

and scoreCT1 is just an object so it doesn't matter

Copy the server-sided function, which calls this event.

[Avagard]

there is no function its just setTimer

i just want to trigger it for the player in time

[NeXuS™]

endtimeRound1 = setTimer ( function()
local getCTscore1 = getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")
local getTscore1 = getElementData(scoreT1,"roundswonbyt1")
setElementData(scoreCT1, "roundswonbyct1",getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")+1)
triggerClientEvent("getitServer1", resourceRoot, getCTscore1,getTscore1)	
end, 129000, 0)

 

[Avagard]

hold on please i will test

not working

[NeXuS™]

"Not working". Won't help, whats not working mate?

[Avagard]

it does not trigger

[NeXuS™]

Add debugging....

endtimeRound1 = setTimer(function()
	local getCTscore1 = getElementData(scoreCT1, "roundswonbyct1")
	local getTscore1 = getElementData(scoreT1, "roundswonbyt1")
	setElementData(scoreCT1, "roundswonbyct1", getElementData(scoreCT1, "roundswonbyct1") + 1)
	triggerClientEvent("getitServer1", resourceRoot, getCTscore1, getTscore1)
	outputChatBox("Trigger")
end, 129000, 0)

nvm! i found the problem! 

endtimeRound1 = setTimer ( function()
setElementData(scoreCT1, "roundswonbyct1",getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1")+1)
local getCTscore1 = getElementData(scoreCT1,"roundswonbyct1") -- this should have been here
local getTscore1 = getElementData(scoreT1,"roundswonbyt1") -- this should have been here
triggerClientEvent("getitServer1", resourceRoot, getCTscore1,getTscore1)	
end, 129000, 0)

 

thanks

just a fast question..

 resourceRoot what will it do? is it for only the player?

[pa3ck]

resourceRoot is a predefined variable, meaning

resourceRoot = getResourceRootElement(getThisResource())
localPlayer = getLocalPlayer()
root = getRootElement()

etc... You can find the list of predefined variables here:

As for the meaning, it returns all the elements associated with the current resource, not just players, but the everything as opposed to getRootElement() which returns all the elements associated with every resource.
