Evening. Had a quick question on how to send a variable from client.lua > server.lua
My goal: Get vehicle information (color, plate, model) and upload to SQL server
What I am stuck on: Getting client.lua info (like GetVehicleColor) and send that result to server.lua
Aditional Info: I am very new to programming and am eager to learn. I could be doing this way wrong
you need to register the event in the server and trigger it from the client
server:
client:
pass the info returned from the natives like the GetVehicleColours inside the trigger:
local color1,color2= GetVehicleColours(yourvehicle)
TriggerServerEvent(“yourevent”,color1,color2,model,plate)
and the server receiving:
RegisterNetEvent(“yourevent”)
AddEventHandler(“yourevent”, function(color1,color2,model,plate)…
I will not put full code because you are learning and its best for you to try etc
Is this how I set the variables on the server.lua side?
client.lua
local color1,color2 = "test"
local plate = "test"
TriggerServerEvent("data",color1,color2,plate)
server.lua
RegisterCommand("veh", function(source)
print("Command")
local ped = GetPlayerPed(source)
local veh = GetVehiclePedIsIn(ped)
local color = nil
local plate = nil
RegisterNetEvent('data')
AddEventHandler('data', function(color1,color2,plate)
color = color1
plate = plate
print("recieved")
end)
MySQL.Async.fetchAll("INSERT INTO VehInfo (Plate, Make, Color, ID) VALUES(@Plate, @Make, @Color, @source)",
{["@Plate"] = plate, ["@Make"] = make, ["@Color"] = color, ["@source"] = source}
)
print("Sent")
end)
I think its better to put the command client side… colors and plate can be passed directly to server, also GetVehiclePedIsIn in server will only work if onesync is enabled, the server code is a bit confuse because the event is inside a command, and those variables server side isn’t needed if its just to write to mysql
This seems to work well. It is writing everything to the proper tables. It may be messy or inefficient, but it will do. I appreciate the help!
