Dialog-information.png This article needs checking.

Reason(s): first parameter isn't the same resource/memory adress like getThisResource(). In addition this event is always attached to the root element

This event is triggered before a resource is loaded.

Important: If you attach this event to the root element it will called when any resource starts, not just the resource your script is running inside. As such, most of the time you will want to check that the resource passed to this event matches your resource (compare with the value returned by getThisResource) before doing anything. Alternatively you can attach the event to getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()).

Parameters

resource startingResource
  • startingResource: The resource that is starting

Source

The source of this event is the root element.

Cancel effect

Example

This code will output the name of any resource that is starting.

function displayStartingRes ( res )
	outputChatBox ( "Resource " .. getResourceName(res) .. " is starting", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255 )
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourcePreStart", getRootElement(), displayStartingRes )
