onClientElementColShapeHit vs onClientColShapeHit

Hi there,

Would somebody please explain to me the difference between these two client side events:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnClientElementColShapeHit

Is there a recommended best practice in terms of which one to use?

I also have an issue that, when using onClientElementColShapeHit, if I set the position of the element (in this case a player), to inside the col shape, it does not trigger the event. It is triggered if they walk into it, just not when their position is set to within it. Has anyone experience this?

Thanks

You should be fine using onClientColShapeHit.

It is used for physical stuff in the server (that you can see) players, objects, vehices etc...

Also it is worded as "Hit" for a reason. You don't hit your desk by putting your hand inside of it.

Thanks for the reply.

I've now found out the difference. Just to clear this up - as the name suggests, onClientElementColShapeHit actually refers to elements created client side, whereas onClientColShapeHit is triggered when a client-side element hits a server side col shape. As it's slightly misleading, I'll pop a note on the wiki
