Client
table getLatentEventStatus( int handle )

Required Arguments

Returns

Returns a table with the following info or false if invalid arguments were passed:

  • tickStart: A number estimating how many ticks until the data transfer starts (Negative means the transfer has already started)

Example

Click to collapse [-]
Client

The example starts a latent event and outputs the status of the transfer to the client console 

function beginTransfer()
    triggerLatentServerEvent("blah", resourceRoot, myVeryLongString)    -- Start latent event
    myHandle = getLatentEventHandles()[#getLatentEventHandles()]        -- Get last latent event handle
    myTimer = setTimer( updateStatus, 1000, 0 )                         -- Output status once a second
end

function updateStatus()
    local status = getLatentEventStatus(myHandle)   -- Get latent event status
    if not status then
        killTimer(myTimer)                          -- getLatentEventStatus returns false when the handle is no longer valid
    else
        outputConsole( "Transfer status:"
            .. " tickStart:" .. tostring(status.tickStart)
            .. " tickEnd:" .. tostring(status.tickEnd)
            .. " totalSize:" .. tostring(status.totalSize)
            .. " percentComplete:" .. tostring(status.percentComplete)
            )
    end
end
