Hello,
Since a few weeks back, players on our server started reporting issues with various aspects of the server using Scaleform graphics. I’ve been debugging for a while now and I’m now fairly positive the code is hanging while waiting for the scaleform movies to load.
For some reason, any scaleform seems to hang. Even using the FiveM example code to display the example scaleform graphic hangs when attempting to load the scaleform movie. See code example below that I’ve been using to test:
RegisterCommand("testsf", function(source)
local scaleformHandle = RequestScaleformMovie("mp_big_message_freemode") -- The scaleform you want to use
while not HasScaleformMovieLoaded(scaleformHandle) do -- Ensure the scaleform is actually loaded before using
Citizen.Wait(0)
-- HANGS HERE! NEVER BREAKS OUT.
end
BeginScaleformMovieMethod(scaleformHandle, "SHOW_SHARD_WASTED_MP_MESSAGE") -- The function you want to call from the AS file
PushScaleformMovieMethodParameterString("Big Text") -- bigTxt
PushScaleformMovieMethodParameterString("Smaller Text") -- msgText
PushScaleformMovieMethodParameterInt(5) -- colId
EndScaleformMovieMethod() -- Finish off the scaleform, it returns no data, so doesnt need "EndScaleformMovieMethodReturn"
while true do -- Draw the scaleform every frame
Citizen.Wait(0)
DrawScaleformMovieFullscreen(scaleformHandle, 255, 255, 255, 255) -- Draw the scaleform fullscreen
end
end)
It hangs where the comment is. We’re currently on server build 7326 and game build 2802. Any help in solving the issue is appreciated.
