All “Citizen.CreateThread” doesn’t work when is on serverside, have you an idea ?

Define “not working”.

Any example code?

Don’t think it’s supposed to work on the server. AFAIK, Citizen. functions are only defined in the Lua files for the client.

Since FxServer I believe it’s work serverside (Essential and MySQL Async use “Citizen.CreateThread” serverside :confused:
Exactly my problem is that the init.lua of MySQL Async does not work :

AddEventHandler('onServerResourceStart', function (resource)
    if resource == "mysql-async" then
        exports['mysql-async']:mysql_configure()

        Citizen.CreateThread(function ()
            Citizen.Wait(0)
            TriggerEvent('onMySQLReady')
        end)
    end
end)

If I make a test like :

AddEventHandler('onServerResourceStart', function (resource)
    if resource == "mysql-async" then
        exports['mysql-async']:mysql_configure()
		print("TEST 1")
        Citizen.CreateThread(function ()
			print("TEST 2")
            Citizen.Wait(0)
			print("TEST 3")
            TriggerEvent('onMySQLReady')
        end)
    end
end)

Only “TEST 1” are printed

Just tried using the following code server side:

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    print('1')
    Citizen.Wait(0)
    print('2')
end)

Works fine for me…

Edit: even running your code works fine for me.

Oh, I have 2 server with EXACT server files, on my server 1 it’s work, and on my server 2 it’s doesn’t, the 2 servers are not on the same machine, server 1 on a dedicated server and the server 2 on a vps, do you have an idea ? Thanks

This seems to be something I encountered on certain Linux distros.

I have Unbuntu 16.04 on both :confused:

No idea… have you tried to make a new server (new folder, new downloaded files)? Maybe that’ll solve something?

This was happening to me as well, just rebooted the box and it started working again…
