Problem with triggerClientEvent and outputChatBox

Hi

I wrote gamemodes for SA-MP and am new to the MTA scene - so maybe my understanding about the element tree is wrong. I want to call a client function from serverside and output a simple message - but I don't see a message (the trigger should be ok, there is no error in the server console). Both scripts are added to the meta.xml

Serverside:

function callFoo() 
    triggerClientEvent("foo", getRootElement()) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), callFoo) 
  

Clientside:

function foo() 
    outputChatBox("Hello", source) 
end 
addEvent("foo", true) 
addEventHandler("foo", getRootElement(), foo) 

Is this code right ? source is always the object which triggered an event ? There is a variable called "client", is this the clientside version ?

Thanks

Client side outputChatBox doesn't have argument visibleTo.

Arguments is

bool outputChatBox ( string text [, int r=231, int g=217, int b=176, bool colorCoded=false ] ) 

So your second argument is element but should be number( integer ).

Also if you use event ( onPlayerJoin server side event ) it doesn't triggered to all because some body can download something and etc. In this case you should use this:

Server

addEvent( 'SendTextToClient', true ) 
  
local sJoinMessage = 'Welcome'  
  
addEventHandler( 'SendTextToClient', root, 
    function() 
        triggerClientEvent( source, 'SendMessage', source, sJoinMessage ) -- Send text to client 
    end 
) 
  

Client

  
addEvent( 'SendMessage', true ) 
  
addEventHandler( 'SendMessage', localPlayer, 
    function( sMsg ) 
        outputChatBox( sMsg ) 
    end 
) 
  
addEventHandler( 'onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        triggerServerEvent( 'SendTextToClient', localPlayer ) -- Trigger when client is ready. 
    end 
)

Hi

My problem was to detect if the player has an account or not (serverside function). So my solution is onClientResourceStart - I trigger a serverside function, check for an existing account and trigger a clientside login or register function and create a dialoge. Then I trigger a serverside function and create an account or spawn the player. Now the system works fine

Thanks
