function msg()
	local x = getPlayerSerial(getLocalPlayer())
	if x == "633DB08BE0185007B57225507C51C3A2" then
		print("works")
		print(x)
	else 
		print("don't works")
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", root, msg)

You should read tutorials about programming before trying it out. The getPlayerSerial function returns a string, so you have to compare it with a string. Print is a function, calling functions are done by using parenthesis.

Note: The client side version of getPlayerSerial has been deprecated as it can return the wrong value for some players, and is potentially insecure. The following article assumes that the function is serverside only.

Yes, it does ASSUME, you can still use it on client-side as far as I know.

Server

function serial( )
    if eventName == "onResourceStart" then
        for k, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
            setElementData(v, "serial", getPlayerSerial(v))
        end
    else
        setElementData(source, "serial", getPlayerSerial(source))
    end
end
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, serial)
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, serial)

 

Client

_getSerial = getPlayerSerial
function getPlayerSerial(p)
	return (isElement(p) and getElementType(p) == "player") and getElementData(p, "serial") or _getSerial()
end

You don't need to add that useless code, if you don't want to handle some really secure thing on client-side.

It works on client-side aswell, it MAY return a value which is not the real value, depending if it's a faked serial on client-side or not.
