Hey, i want to get the ESX Character Names of the nearby players instead of the steam names for esx_inventoryhud, how would i go about doing this? because in this code(client side):
` RegisterNUICallback(
“GetNearPlayers”,
function(data, cb)
local playerPed = PlayerPedId()
local players, nearbyPlayer = ESX.Game.GetPlayersInArea(GetEntityCoords(playerPed), 3.0)
local foundPlayers = false
local elements = {}

    for i = 1, #players, 1 do
        if players[i] ~= PlayerId() then
            foundPlayers = true

            table.insert(
                elements,
                {
                    label = GetPlayerName(players[i]),
                    player = GetPlayerServerId(players[i]),
                }
            )
        end
    end

    if not foundPlayers then
        exports.pNotify:SendNotification(
            {
                text = _U("players_nearby"),
                type = "error",
                timeout = 3000,
                layout = "bottomCenter",
                queue = "inventoryhud"
            }
        )
    else
        SendNUIMessage(
            {
                action = "nearPlayers",
                foundAny = foundPlayers,
                players = elements,
                item = data.item
            }
        )
    end

    cb("ok")
end

)`
it gets the Steam name with label = GetPlayerName(players[i])
but to get the Character Name i somehow have to pass the players to the Server, and do e.g xPlayer.getName() for each one and return them back to the client right? how does this work

2

u can use TriggerServerEvent to get the name from there if the name can be one fetched from there bec I am not so expert in esx so u can use servercallbackevent too in order to get his name

3

Yes i tried but i have problems passing the players to the server and then passing the names back to the client

4

u can simply use ESX.TriggerServerCallBack its easy to use as callback

5

I’ve got it to work now using TriggerServerEvent and TriggerClientEvent

6

yup both TriggerServerEvent and TriggerClientEvent works but ESX.TriggerServerCallback is just small code and more optimized but if its work then gl <3

I also tried with ESX.TriggerServerCallback but that i could not get to work… but thanks!
