triggerServerEvent does not work

[Xwad]

Everythink is just working fine. The problem is that the triggerServerEvent is not triggering to the server.

1. Show meta.xml
2. Remove: gun1, gun2, gun3 and gun4 from the triggerServerEvent. Those elemens are clientside elements which shouldn't be trigger able.

[Einheit-101]

Trigger server event for root instead of local player and re test

 

Btw what are you working on this time?

I thought you quit MTA lol

@Einheit-101

root will accept everything, included players. There is nothing wrong with that.

[Einheit-101]

I know but I had plenty of situations where it simply doesn't work with local player for whatever reason.

€DIT: I believe resourceRoot is just as good but it saves some server CPU compared with root

 

€DIT2: in any case you need to pass these weapons in another way to the server, I suggest the weapon base where they are attached to, because unlike the weapons, the weapon base exists server side. Then on the client you simply use getAttachedElements() to find the weapon that is attached to that base and fire that gun GG

About line 43, check if 'veh' is a vehicle element:

function rotate_object()
	local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( localPlayer )
	if veh then
		local _,_,rz = getVehicleComponentRotation(veh, "misc_a")
		local rx,_,_ = getVehicleComponentRotation(veh, "misc_b")
		
		if getElementData(localPlayer,"obj") then
			triggerServerEvent("rotateWeapon", localPlayer, veh,getElementData(localPlayer,"obj"),rx,rz)
		end
	end
end
