Custom client event not triggering

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

I’m not sure why the chat message in my client.lua is not triggering, is it the way I’m trying to trigger it or is there a problem with my custom event setup?

__resource.lua

client_script "client.lua"
server_script "server.lua"

server.lua

AddEventHandler('chatMessage', function(from, name, message)
    local playerID = 1 -- There is code above here that is working as expected so I've removed it for simplicity sake.
    TriggerClientEvent('TBD:semiLongName', from, playerID)

    TriggerClientEvent('chatMessage', from, "ADMIN", {200,0,0}, "PlayerID = " .. playerID)

end)

client.lua

RegisterNetEvent(TBD:semiLongName')

AddEventHandler('TBD:semiLongName', function(playerID)
    TriggerEvent('chatMessage', "ADMIN", {200,0,0} , "Player found: " .. playerID
end)

The problem is that I see the “PlayerID = 1” text but I don’t see the text from the custom event i triggered before it.

You have to close your parenthesis after variable playerID in client.lua

Thanks, can’t believe I missed that…
