Code Examples

client

This command is triggering an latent-event to server, and if you write the command again and the trigger still didn't end then you have to wait.

-- *****************************************************************************
-- CLIENT CODE
local lastTriggerd = false
addCommandHandler("trigger", function()
    local triggers = getLatentEventHandles() -- get all latent events
    if triggers[lastTriggerd] then -- you can use (getLatentEventStatus) too!
        outputChatBox("Wait until the trigger (" .. lastTriggerd .. ") ends!", 255, 0, 0)
        return
    end
    triggerLatentServerEvent("LatentEventsCheck", 20000, resourceRoot, localPlayer)
    lastTriggerd = #getLatentEventHandles() -- set the lastTriggerd with the id for last event triggerd
end)


-- *****************************************************************************
-- SERVER CODE
addEvent("LatentEventsCheck", true)
addEventHandler("LatentEventsCheck", root, function(thePlayer)
    outputChatBox("Latent trigger done from: " .. getPlayerName(thePlayer), root, math.random(255), 0, 0)
end)
