Client Event not triggering

[alexmohor1996]

Hi. Can someone pls help me understand what am I doing wrong here? I am unable to find topics that are both C# server and client for event triggering...

I have 2 events but only one of them is being called. I have the Freeze Player and a Vehicle UI and only the freeze event is being called. I have watched a tutorial for making a Vehicle UI and I compared every line of code between the tutorial and what I wrote and it is 1:1 match..

 

I know that both events have the same outcome, I have just put the SpawnVehicle one in here as a test, because I could not understand whether the code for the vehicle menu was wrong, or it's just mine not being called. It seems that it is not being called at all. I have even commented the Freeze Player from "Events.Add" (I thought it would interfere ) and still nothing. Both of the events are the same, so I can't figure out why SpawnVehicle is not being called.

This is the part from the client-side

	public class Main : Events.Script
	{
		public Main()
		{
			Events.Add("NativeVehicleMenu", SpawnVehicle);
			Events.Add("FreezePlayer", PlayerFreeze);
		}

		public void PlayerFreeze(object[] args)
		{
			RAGE.Elements.Player.LocalPlayer.FreezePosition((bool)args[0]);
		}

		public void SpawnVehicle(object[] args)
		{
			RAGE.Elements.Player.LocalPlayer.FreezePosition((bool)args[0]);
		}
	}

This is the part from the server-side

		[Command("vehicle")]
		public void CMD_Vehicle(Player player)
		{
			NAPI.ClientEvent.TriggerClientEvent(player, "NativeVehicleMenu");
			player.SendChatMessage("You have tried to invoke a car, but you have frozen yourself");
		}

		[Command("freeze", "[USAGE] /freeze [target] [true/false]")]
		public void CMD_Freeze(Player player, Player target, bool isFrozen)
		{
			NAPI.ClientEvent.TriggerClientEvent(player, "FreezePlayer", isFrozen);
			string str = (isFrozen) ? "frozen" : "unfrozen";
			player.SendChatMessage($"You have {str} {target.Name}!");
			target.SendChatMessage($"{player.Name} has {str} you!");
		}

You have an error in your code, you should be checking cliendata/clientside_cs.txt file.

You're not passing any argument to SpawnVehicle function:

NAPI.ClientEvent.TriggerClientEvent(player, "NativeVehicleMenu");

Thank you so much for the reply. The thing is that the tutorial I have followed does not have any argument and it is working for that guy. I don't know what argument should I pass ...

Also I don't know which file you are referring to, as I don't have any "clientside_cs.txt" file, sorry.

In that case a boolean, as you did with freeze command. The arguments/parameters will depend on what you need to develop.

Hello.

Ok, this is the full method I have written from the tutorial.

		public void PlayerVehicleMenu(object[] args)
		{
			Chat.Show(false);	
			RAGE.Ui.Cursor.Visible = true;

			MenuPool mPool = new MenuPool();

			UIMenu VehicleMenu = new UIMenu("Spawner", "Spawn your desired vehicle");
			mPool.Add(VehicleMenu);

			bool locked = false;
			bool engine = true;

			UIMenuCheckboxItem Locked = new UIMenuCheckboxItem("Vehicle Lock?", locked);
			UIMenuCheckboxItem Engine = new UIMenuCheckboxItem("Engine On", engine);

			VehicleMenu.AddItem(Locked);
			VehicleMenu.AddItem(Engine);

			var vNames = new List<dynamic>
			{
				"Infernus",
				"Cheetah",
				"Dominator"
			};

			string selectedVeh = vNames[0];

			UIMenuListItem VehicleName = new UIMenuListItem("Vehicle", vNames, 0);

			VehicleMenu.AddItem(VehicleName);

			UIMenuItem CreateButton = new UIMenuItem("Create Vehicle!");
			VehicleMenu.AddItem(CreateButton);

			VehicleMenu.OnCheckboxChange += (sender, item, flag) =>
			{
				if (sender == VehicleMenu)
				{
					if (item == Locked)
						locked = flag;
					else if (item == Engine)
						engine = flag;
				}
			};

			VehicleMenu.OnListChange += (sender, item, index) =>
			{
				if (sender == VehicleMenu)
				{
					if (item == VehicleName)
					{
						selectedVeh = item.IndexToItem(index).ToString();
					}
				}
			};

			CreateButton.Activated += (sender, item) =>
			{
				if (sender == VehicleMenu)
				{
					if (item == CreateButton)
					{
						Events.CallRemote("VehicleSpawnFromClient", locked, engine, selectedVeh);
						Chat.Show(true);
						VehicleMenu.Visible = false;
						VehicleMenu.FreezeAllInput = false;
						RAGE.Ui.Cursor.Visible = false;
					}
				}
			};

			VehicleMenu.Visible = true;
			VehicleMenu.FreezeAllInput = true;

			VehicleMenu.RefreshIndex();

			Events.Tick += (name) =>
			{
				mPool.ProcessMenus();
			};

			VehicleMenu.OnMenuClose += (sender) =>
			{
				if (sender == VehicleMenu)
				{
					Chat.Show(true);
					VehicleMenu.Visible = false;
					VehicleMenu.FreezeAllInput = false;
					RAGE.Ui.Cursor.Visible = false;
				}
			};
		}

And this is the command trying to call the event. I have let the old message I had from SendChatMessage so I know that the command works

		[Command("vehicle")]
		public void CMD_Vehicle(Player player, bool args)
		{
			NAPI.ClientEvent.TriggerClientEvent(player, "VehicleMenu", args);
			string str = (args) ? "Menu opened" : "Menu closed";
			player.SendChatMessage($"{str}");
		}

 

The SendChatMessage appears and I have tried to put a boolean... I have also tried to put a "null" parameter. It simply won't call the method..

It also have a RemoveEvent which is being called when pressing the "Create Car" button, as follows:
However, I can see that this is only related to the "Events.CallRemote" method, but it does not even reach there..
 

		[RemoteEvent("VehicleSpawnFromClient")]
		public void NativeVehicleSpawn(Player player, bool locked, bool engine, string vName)
		{
			uint vHash = NAPI.Util.GetHashKey(vName);
			NAPI.Vehicle.CreateVehicle(vHash, player.Position.Around(5), 0.0f, 0, 0, locked: locked, engine: engine);
			player.SendNotification($"Vehicle {vName} created");
		}

Are you using the same client event names you used before?

Also you need to find the clientside_cs.txt file located on your RAGE installation path (clientdata folder)

After your reply with the 3rd parameter, I have tried to write the exact same method (TriggerClientEvent & Event.Add, have the same name ..... Event.CallRemote & [RemoteEvent], with the same other name) that the guy wrote in the video, but I have added either a "null" parameter (I saw this works in C++), or a boolean, so the command would be something like "/vehicle true", for testing. I can see that neither of them works and with another parameter, like "int" or something, I have no idea how to write, because the original script that I saw does not take parameters..

 

Also, thank you so much for guiding with the file, I have found it ^^. But I am not sure whether these are errors, or just warnings, it's my first time looking into this file

All the messages in that file are clientside script errors, in your case it seems that you're getting and int from the server, not a boolean:

It is a boolean   (Screenshot below)

Also this is from the guy's tutorial, the freezing event. It's 1:1

Well, you should be debugging the args[0] value on client then, so you make sure it's a boolean at all.
