OnResourceStart

This event is triggered when 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()).

Syntax

void onResourceStart ( resource startedResource )

Parameters

• startedResource: The resource that was started

Example

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

function displayLoadedRes ( res )
	outputChatBox ( "Resource " .. getResourceName(res) .. " loaded", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255 )
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), displayLoadedRes )
