TriggerEvent once

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

Hello I was wondering if you could use TriggerEvent once.

Yes.

Do you want to provide more information? Kinda hard to know what you’re asking here (unless you’re actually asking if you can use a function once) :confused:

Thanks for the response I will show you the code
Menu Code

RegisterNetEvent('menu:policeopencloak')
			AddEventHandler('menu:policeopencloak', function(once)
				if WarMenu.Button('Test') then
			   end
			end)

Police Cloakroom

for i=1, #v.Cloakrooms, 1 do
          if GetDistanceBetweenCoords(coords,  v.Cloakrooms[i].x,  v.Cloakrooms[i].y,  v.Cloakrooms[i].z,  true) < Config.MarkerSize.x then
            isInMarker     = true
			TriggerEvent('menu:policeopencloak')
            currentStation = k
            currentPart    = 'Cloakroom'
            currentPartNum = i
          end
        end

When I stand in the marker it just keeps creating more tests.

Ah, in this case you can just have a boolean and toggle it when you’ve done what you need to do.

For example:

local someBooleanToggle = false
AddEventHandler("event", function()
    if someBooleanToggle then -- if the variable is true
        return -- don't do anything, just return
    end

    -- Do something here

    someBooleanToggle = true -- set it to true so, the above code only runs once,
end)
