Trigger client event

FiveM Resource Development Discussion

Hello, I have a k9 script that I want to be able to trigger from police F6 menu, but i can not get i to work, what I have done so far is, creating translation and gived it a place in F6.
esx_policejob/client/main
This is for when pressing the button in menu

elseif action == 'polishund' then

                        TriggerServerEvent('esx_policejob:openMenuX')

This is esx_policejob/server/main

RegisterNetEvent('esx_policejob:openMenuX')

AddEventHandler('esx_policejob:openMenuX', function()

    TriggerClientEvent('esx_policedog:openMenu', function()

end)

K9 scrit client

RegisterNetEvent('esx_policedog:openMenu')

AddEventHandler('esx_policedog:openMenu', function()

    mainMenu()

end)

How do i trigger the client function in k9 with button in police F6?

you need to change the function() to source)
like this TriggerClientEvent('esx_policedog:openMenu', source)

3

Im at work but when i come home i will try and replay how it went

4

Just tried it out and it does not work

5

Well depends on what do you have in mainMenu() function

6

Im not sure if it is ok for me to share this thou i am not the author but the first rows say

mainMenu = function()

    if PlayerData.job.name == Config.Job then

        ESX.UI.Menu.CloseAll()

        ESX.UI.Menu.Open(

                'default', GetCurrentResourceName(), 'buy_storage',

            {

I assume you want the K9 dog listed in the menu from the policejob right ?

8

should work, and btw why would you need to triggerserverevent? you can just directly TriggerEvent from here

elseif action == 'polishund' then

                        TriggerEvent('esx_policedog:openMenu')

Yes that is right!

10

because both functions are client sided, the police f6 menu and the k9 menu in the k9, im have recently began scriptning and I have been told that you can not trigger a client event from client side

11

lol of course you can trigger a client event from client side, who says you can’t

12

I did not know that, I will try that seems easier so

13

This is so wired, I tried the same function on another menu and it worked, but it does not work on the policejob

The code i used in the other script

elseif usage == 'test' then

            TriggerEvent('esx_policedog:openMenu')

FINALLY SOLVED!

For you who want to know how to add triggers in the F6 menu in the same coloum, you have to trigger it throu

if data.current.value == 'polishund' then

            TriggerEvent('esx_policedog:openMenu')

        end

It is below the labels and values… :slight_smile:
