triggerClientEvent

Hello guys, i'm doing a gunshop script but i dont know how to use triggerClientEvent properly for this situations, i have the client and server program here but they're not working for now:

Server

marcador = createMarker(296.60345458984,-38.278450012207,1000.515625, "cylinder", 1.1, 0,100,0)
setElementInterior(marcador, 1)

function showPanel(thePlayer)
    triggerClientEvent ("Start", thePlayer)
end
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit", marcador, showPanel)

Client

function painel (hitPlayer)
    if ( hitPlayer == localPlayer ) then
    outputChatBox("aloboizaumm")
    if painel == false then
        showCursor (true)
        addEventHandler ("onClientRender", root,abrir)
        painel = true
    end
end
addEvent("Start", true)
addEventHandler("Start", root, painel)

    triggerClientEvent (thePlayer, "Start", thePlayer)

function painel ()
    outputChatBox("aloboizaumm")
    if painel == false then
        showCursor (true)
        addEventHandler ("onClientRender", root,abrir)
        painel = true
    end
end
addEvent("Start", true)
addEventHandler("Start", localPlayer, painel)

Hello! I've been reading this article for hours and i dont get any green lights for my program, your sketch aren't working here too sadly

Imagine that server has ~100 players on it. You're telling the server to open panel on client-side. The server doesn't know which player you're talking about and it opens it on every single client. This is what happens when you use

triggerClientEvent("Start", ThePlayer)

To fix it tell the server to use specific client(player) by adding player variable as the first argument:

triggerClientEvent(ThePlayer, "Start", ThePlayer)

Same thing was shown above

BTW this is the single difference between triggerClientEvent and triggerServerEvent
