Fire is only client side. How would I make server sided fire?

On a server i am using the Meth Lab fire however when testing my friends cant see the fire. Does anyone have any idea on how to make it server side?

2

You should an event to sync the fire call with all client

3

Thanks for the quick response! But how would i go about doing this?

4

have a look to this : [HELP] Need to know how to make particles sync with other players

5

Thanks, but would that create flames that spread and can set players and cars on fire because i noticed that but thought that wouldnt have the same effect as StartScriptFire

6

The thread I sended to you let you create a better fire effect than the native FireScript, but idk if it’s spreading or not

7

Ill try that now thanks, if it doesnt spread im just going to have to deal with it. Its just a shame that i cant use the native fire server side as firefighters usually have a boring job so i was trying to have it so the fire department didnt get bored.

8

Sorry if im being annoying but is that a server sided thing?

9

I don’t think so, I think it’s client-side

10

Just tried, my friend cannot see the effects

11

have you broadcast the event to all client ?

12

How would i go about doing that?

13

TriggerClientEvent(-1, "eventname) if you are server-side or TriggerEvent(-1, "eventname) (not sure for the second one)

14

Sorry, im a bit of a noob at this, we are trying to get it so on the press of a button we can set a fire (preferable the startscriptfire) so our fire-fighters can come and put out the fire. How would i put that together to do that

15

just told you how to do, when you press the button, you broadcast a client event to all client and this event contain the piece of code which start the fire

16

This is what i have in client:

RegisterNetEvent('fire')

AddEventHandler('fire', function ()
	local playerPos = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1))
	StartScriptFire (playerPos.x, playerPos.y, playerPos.z, 25, false)
end)

and :

if IsControlPressed(1, 167) then
    TriggerClientEvent(-1, 'fire')
end

Is what i have in server but im not sure how to get it working

17

You are triggering your event from client-side, so you have to use TriggerEvent

18

Sorry if im annoying you but i dont get what you mean

19

TriggerClientEvent => TriggerEvent, because you are client-side

20

would that still require a server and client script?
