Hi, i’m new to coding and was wondering if anyone could help me along. I currently have a clientside script that triggers “StartAlarm” via a command, but the problem is the “StartAlarm” only triggers for the person that used the command, so I was wondering how could I make it trigger for all players. I know I have to do something a with a server.lua, but honestly no idea what. Thanks!
My current client.lua
-- Start Alarm
RegisterCommand('startalarm', function(source, args)
TriggerEvent('chat:addMessage', {
args = { 'Prison Alarm Activated!' }
})
while not PrepareAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS") do
Citizen.Wait(0)
end
StartAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS", 0)
end, false)
-- Stop Alarm
RegisterCommand('stopalarm', function(source, args)
TriggerEvent('chat:addMessage', {
args = { 'Prison Alarm Stopped!' }
})
StopAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS", 1)
end, false)
Try doing it like this with server.lua
Server.lua
-- Start Alarm
RegisterCommand('startalarm', function(source, args)
TriggerClientEvent('chat:addMessage', -1, { args = { '^1SYSTEM', Prison Alarm Activated!' } })
TriggerEvent("alarmcentral:startalarmCL",-1)
end, false)
-- Stop Alarm
RegisterCommand('stopalarm', function(source, args)
TriggerClientEvent('chat:addMessage', -1, { args = { '^1SYSTEM', Prison Alarm Deactivated!' } })
TriggerEvent("alarmcentral:stopalarmCL",-1)
end, false)
RegisterServerEvent("alarmcentral:startalarmSV")
AddEventHandler('alarmcentral:startalarmSV', function()
TriggerClientEvent("alarmcentral:startalarmCL", -1)
end)
RegisterServerEvent("alarmcentral:stopalarmSV")
AddEventHandler('alarmcentral:stopalarmSV', function()
TriggerClientEvent("alarmcentral:stopalarmCL", -1)
end)
and then in a client.lua
Client.lua
RegisterNetEvent("alarmcentral:startalarmCL")
AddEventHandler('alarmcentral:startalarmCL', function()
while not PrepareAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS") do
Citizen.Wait(0)
end
StartAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS", 0)
end)
RegisterNetEvent("alarmcentral:stopalarmCL")
AddEventHandler('alarmcentral:stopalarmCL', function()
StopAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS", 1)
end)
That was just off the top of my head writing that so if try it and test it and see if it works for you. I haven’t tested it myself just wrote it from off the top of my head so that should help you and remember for future reference when you pass -1 to any Event as such TriggerClientEvent(“alarmcentral:stopalarmCL”, -1) the -1 means it will trigger on everyone in the server.
yes but you would have to find the line for the bank alarm though, I am not looking it up for you, that is something I would hope you would know where to find the bank alarm string at to replace “PRISON_ALARMS” string with whatever the bank alarm one is.
a little idea as for example the fleeca bank I should put " Nordea Alarm" … 
Thanks, you forgot the to add the starting ’ to line 3 of { ‘^1SYSTEM’, Prison Alarm Activated!’ } } before “Prison”.
After that the code seems to work with no errors, but I get the “SYSTEM: Prison Alarm Activated!” but no alarm seems to play. (Yes i’m in the prison of course)
yes and problem with -1 and 0 for activate /desactivate i’m looking

Also, if your still looking for the list of alarm types you can find them here https://runtime.fivem.net/doc/natives/#_0x0355EF116C4C97B2
So I believe the fleeca bank in Paleto Bay would be “PALETO_BAY_SCORE_ALARM”
I thought well I’m a pro in algebra 0 it’s not a function sa must be 1 and -1
I’m not exactly sure what you mean, could you post exactly what you did? Thanks

don’t work sorry 
Strange, not getting any errors from your code, but still no sounds from the alarm 
I tried clearing the cache, but alas still no sound is produced, it seems like for some reason it’s not triggering the clientside portion.
I tried added a " print(“ALARM EVENT TRIGGERED”) " in the client.lua but the print doesn’t appear in F8 Console.
Client.lua so you can see what i’m talking about
RegisterNetEvent("alarmcentral:startalarmCL")
AddEventHandler('alarmcentral:startalarmCL', function()
print("ALARM EVENT TRIGGERED")
while not PrepareAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS") do
Citizen.Wait(0)
end
StartAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS", 1)
end)
RegisterNetEvent("alarmcentral:stopalarmCL")
AddEventHandler('alarmcentral:stopalarmCL', function()
StopAlarm("PRISON_ALARMS", -1)
end)
the code looks good maybe it’s the location that is wrong I put it after esx … maybe put it before …
I figured it out
in server.lua it was
TriggerEvent("alarmcentral:startalarmCL", 1)
I changed it to
TriggerEvent("alarmcentral:startalarmSV", -1)
And now it works perfectly

it’s really fishy, to stop the alarm is ok? 
Stopping the alarm seems to works fine
