Native Reference "SendNUIMessage" casing

Minity · 2019-09-21T14:21:34.918Z

As this isn’t really a bug and more of a QoL request, I figured I would post it here.

In the FiveM Native Reference the “SendNuiMessage” native should be “SendNUIMessage” instead as it doesn’t work how it’s currently spelled. Since natives are extemely case-sensitive, newer devs like me who resort to the native reference might have issues if things aren’t spelled correctly/don’t have the correct casing.

Seems to be just an alias in Lua

citizenfx/fivem/blob/5942e3732738841d623c36516e806eaa8778d3d9/data/shared/citizen/scripting/lua/scheduler.lua#L938-L942


	local _sendNuiMessage = SendNuiMessage


	function SendNUIMessage(message)
		_sendNuiMessage(json.encode(message))
	end

But the native only supports json string, and the Lua function takes an array

So SendNUIMessage is not an actual native

Ah, that makes sense, So I was just sending an array to the native rather than a json string?

Either way, SendNUIMessage works fine so I’ll stick to that.

You could make a PR and add to description the difference

github.com

citizenfx/natives/blob/master/CFX/SendNuiMessage.md

---
ns: CFX
apiset: client
---
## SEND_NUI_MESSAGE

```c
BOOL SEND_NUI_MESSAGE(char* jsonString);
```


## Parameters
* **jsonString**: 

## Return value

But ye the native takes a string, and the function takes an array/table which then serializes it to a JSON string and calls the native then
