    get player country failing

    in Scripting

    Thank you for your response. This is the server side now: 
      

    addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, function()
    local players = getElementsByType("player")
    for i, player in ipairs(players) do
        local country = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry(player)
        triggerClientEvent(player, "onPlayerCountryReceived", resourceRoot, country)
    end
end)

    And this is the client side: 
      

    local myCountry = ""

addEvent("onPlayerCountryReceived", true)
addEventHandler("onPlayerCountryReceived", resourceRoot, function(country)
    myCountry = country 
end)

    But it says that server triggered client side event onPlayerCountryReceived, but event is not added client side.. :D wtf?

    Thats probably because server-side is running before client side, so, in this case, you should make a trigger from the client to the server and send the response back to the client again. Not sure if there is a better option for it cuz using a timer is not a good idea aswell ...

    So here goes my solution: 

    -- ## CLIENT-SIDE
local myCountry = ""

addEvent("onPlayerCountryReceived", true)
addEventHandler("onPlayerCountryReceived", root, function(country)
    outputChatBox(country)
    myCountry = country 
end)

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, function ()
    triggerServerEvent("onRequestPlayerCountry", resourceRoot)
end)

-- ## SERVER-SIDE
addEvent("onRequestPlayerCountry", true)
addEventHandler("onRequestPlayerCountry", resourceRoot, function()
    local country = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry(client)
    triggerClientEvent(client, "onPlayerCountryReceived", resourceRoot, country)
end)

    The source element of the event onResourceStart is not a player, so, you are triying to get the country of a Resource, obyously this is not going to work.

    What you should do ? You need to loop the whole player list by using getElementsyType("player") and inside that loop ask for player country and do the trigger aswell.

    FetchRemote API does not return any value

    i suggest you to use mta sdk for this project, + you used sql codes, put them on Lua side.

    http://code.opencoding.net/mta/mtaphpsdk_0.4.zip

    [TUT] : https://forum.multitheftauto.com/topic/32557-tut-php-sdk/

    Many of the times we don't need to use MTA SDK.

    Otherwise, he is trying to build an api, so, it useless to use MTA SQL connector in this case aswell ..

    --------------------------------------------------------

    Well, I have done some researches about the issue its in php file. You are not receiveing a JSON, so, the decoding function won't never work.

     If you directly output the content, you probably are going to get something un-parsed which is related with 'WebKitFormBoundary' or similar.

    There are methods made by people to parse it and try to get a json content, but, it doesn't support weird content.

    setTimer

    You can do it this way. It works once after 3 seconds. You can enter the value you want in milliseconds. 

    addEventHandler("onVehicleExplode", root, function()
	setTimer(function(source) destroyElement(source) end, 3000, 1, source) --run after 3 seconds
end)

    Not sure if this can be even better. Try this one: 

    addEventHandler("onVehicleExplode", root, function()
	setTimer(destroyElement(),3000,1,source)
end)

    What I do wrong?

    No, you are not using the right event.

    Checkout onClientMarkerHit event. The source parameter is the event, so, you just need to compare such element with you variable infoMarker and do whatever you want.

    Export functions: Issue with parameters

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Well, I've just realized about few things that I wasn't aware about them.

    First of all, If you store your exported resource which containts your exported functions in a variable, you can't call those functions with: myVariable(dot)functionName 

    -- This doesn't work
util.isEmptyString("FIRST_PARAMETER", "SECOND_PARAMENTER")
--## RESULT: SECOND_PARAMENTER


-- Right way to read parameters
util:isEmptyString("FIRST_PARAMETER", "SECOND_PARAMENTER")
--## RESULT: FIRST_PARAMETER

    Thats all, thanks for reading.

    Export functions: Issue with parameters

    in Scripting

    Posted · Edited by Overkillz

    I'm having an issue while using exported functions with receive some parameters

    Im trying to read the first parameter, but it doesn't work at all, it reads the second one.

    What do I mean ? 

    -- CLIENT

local util = exports["SHI_Util"]

function whatever()
	util.isEmptyString("FIRST_PARAMETER", "SECOND_PARAMENTER")
end

-- SHARED CLASS
function isEmptyString(s)
    outputChatBox("Recived string: " ..s)
end

-- RESULT --> Recived string: SECOND_PARAMENTER

-- META.XML
<meta>
	<export function="isEmptyString" type="shared"/>
</meta>

    Something similar happens with server side exported functions.

    I hope you can bring me a hand with this. Thanks in advice, best regards.

     

     

    4k scale

    This code is nonsense, because what when somebody have 1600xX?

    I asked about scale for all resolutions with 4K ?

     

    Now i'm using "zoom" and for that moment is ok :D

    Nonsense ? ::lol: For other resolutions will be the default one "x1". On the other hand, there is something called elseif (Not sure if you heard about it) which allows you to set a multiplier for other resolutions ...

    You could use a variable that increase the size value of fonts, dx sizes ...etc 

    local sX,sY = guiGetScreenSize()
local multiplier = 1

if sY >= 2160 then
	multiplier = 2
end

function yourOtherFunctions()
	dxDrawRectangle(0,0,250*multiplier, 100*multiplier)
end

     

    Doubts about synced elements

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hello dear community, I'm back in development scene and I have some doubts about performing my current scritps that I made like 4 years ago.

    Well, the first question is

    • Passing an element with multiple datas decrease is not a good way to a proper performance ? In fact, I have this doubt with a data which store players in a specific arena. Imagine that there are 32 players in that arena, well, im storing them in a table which is a data of the element. My question is, passing the whole element pass only the pointer address or pass the elements, therefore, the performance could be decreased ? I leave you a picture of the element.

    • The other question is, what about if I trigger from a client to the server side an element which containts some datas, but before the element arrives to the server, some of the data changes his values. Which values arrives ? The updated one or the old one ?

    Inside pumps table there isn't another sub-table or at least not as first array element.

    What does it mean ? Might you have an structure which looks like this one 

    local pumps = {
	anyData = false, -- You can not get the lenght of this one 
	subTable = {} -- However You CAN get the lenght of this one
}

    renderTarget issue while drawing more than X items

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hello dear community, Im working with renderTargets since is a way that losing a bit of quality you can get an incredible performance.

    However, today I have faced an issue while drawing some text.

    Well, I have like 4k maps and obyously, each one has his own name.

    Well, while using renderTargets, I can't draw more than 1000 text

    I tried it while using a custom font and few stuffs more.

    If you think that my code is wrowng, here I left you the way Im working 

    local sX,sY = guiGetScreenSize()
local sizeX,sizeY = sX/2,sY/2
local fontHeight = dxGetFontHeight(1,"default-bold")

local items = {}

for n=1,4000 do
	table.insert(items,{text = "test"..n, path = "whatever", anim = 0, active = false})
end

local rt = dxCreateRenderTarget(sizeX,fontHeight*#items,true)

function drawContent()
	dxSetRenderTarget(rt, true)
	dxSetBlendMode("modulate_add")
		dxDrawRectangle(0,0,sizeX,fontHeight*#items,tocolor(255,0,0,100))
		for i,k in ipairs(items)  do
			dxDrawText(k.text,0,fontHeight*(i-1),sizeX,fontHeight*(i-1)+fontHeight,tocolor(255,255,255,255),1,"default-bold")
		end
	dxSetBlendMode("blend")
	dxSetRenderTarget()
end

function renderContent()
	if rt then
		dxDrawImage(0,0,sizeX,sizeY,rt,0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,255))
	end
end

drawContent()
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,renderContent)

    I hope you can bring me a hand with this issue.

    Or a way to draw like 4k map names without affecting the performance.

    Best regards.

    renderTarget/dxSetBlendMode quality with fading

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Might you can apreciate the difference due to you are using default fonts or not thing fonts, but look

    oHoweBm.png

    oNJIAFR.png

    As you can see, the second image is clearer. Due to the image cut, might you cant difference the quality, but, if you would see the full tab, the quality lost is appreciable.

    Anyways, I have done several test and ways to make it work, but nothing, texture shader doesn't work too ...etc So, maybe I will be forced to use module_add arg instead of add only.

    Regards.

    renderTarget/dxSetBlendMode quality with fading

    in Scripting

    Hello dear community, Im having an issue with renderTargets.

    Well, my problem is simple. Im trying to apply a fade effect to a renderTarget.

    Well, I want to have a decent quality while drawing stuffs on it, so, Im forced to se the function dxSetBlendMode.

    However, If I use it, I can't make fade animation.

    Here is the wiki example with the fade animation 

    local myRenderTarget = dxCreateRenderTarget(500, 500, true)
local alpha = 0

function updateRenderTarget()
    dxSetRenderTarget(myRenderTarget, true)
    dxSetBlendMode("modulate_add")
	
		dxDrawRectangle(0,0,500,500,tocolor(255,0,0,255))
		dxDrawText("Testing "..getTickCount(), 0, 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 2, "clear")

    dxSetBlendMode("blend")
    dxSetRenderTarget()
end

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root,
    function()
		alpha = math.min(alpha+10,255)
        dxSetBlendMode("add")
        dxDrawImage(100, 200, 500, 500, myRenderTarget, 0,0,0,tocolor(255,255,255,alpha))
        dxSetBlendMode("blend")
    end
)

updateRenderTarget()

    Is there any way to fix it without losing the quality that brings dxSetBlendMode ?

    Thanks for reading, best regards.
