[Solved] Calling client side event not working

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

Dear Community,

I am working on modifying the scoreboard to disable it when inside a menu for example a mod menu.
I have this code on the server side (which i can call with out any issue):

RegisterServerEvent('lockScoreBoardS')
AddEventHandler('lockScoreBoardS', function()
	print(source)
	TriggerClientEvent("lockScoreBoardC")
	print('just called lockScoreBoardC')
end)

and this code in the Scoreboard file:

RegisterNetEvent("lockScoreBoardC")
AddEventHandler("lockScoreBoardC", function()
	print('client side of scoreboard')
	if listDisable then
		listDisable = false
		drawNotification("Scoreboard Enabled")
	elseif not listDisable then
	    listDisable = true
		drawNotification("Scoreboard Disabled")
	end
end)

The Server side code is inside a trainer folder and the scoreboard files are in the usual [system]/Scoreboard folder.

Any help gratefully appreciated

When you trigger a client event you need to specify a netid otherwise the server doesn’t know who to send the event to.

Hello and thank you for your reply, So do you mean I should be doing something like this:

TriggerClientEvent("lockScoreBoardC", ServerID)

or should it be

TriggerClientEvent("lockScoreBoardC", source)

Thank you for your time.

If you want to call it on the client that triggered the server event you can use source.
