Just one note, this would only print on your client. Not for everyone.

Well sh*t, How uhm…Do I fix that? Lol

U will need also a server.lua.

To get the playername: NetworkPlayerGetName(PlayerId())

5

I need to do a TriggerServerEvent(‘Event Name’) Right? If I wanna execute it from a client file?

I don’t 100 % know that out of my mind. You can find that in the Docs.

7

you can just use GetPlayerName(source)

idk if you still need it, but you can download my script and modify it to work for your use (not needed tho)

or

9

TriggerServerEvent(“someevent”, GetPlayerName(PlayerId())

and make 1 of the server-side script for handler, to trigger to all client (-1) [ maybe calling the prox-chat event ]

My rack and unrack scripts is already made working, its better to download that

I already solved it
