Exports & Events

Client — Close the Screen

Plays the closing animation and takes the screen down.

lua

exports.code9_loading:close()

The same through an event:

lua

TriggerEvent('code9_loading:close')          -- client side
TriggerClientEvent('code9_loading:close', src) -- from the server

Use it with Config.game.closeWhen = 'manual' to decide yourself when the screen goes — for example once your character selection is ready to show.

Warning

Do not call ShutdownLoadingScreenNui() from another resource while this screen is up: it removes the screen at once and cuts the closing animation short. Call exports.code9_loading:close() instead — the screen closes itself and takes itself down.

Character Selection Example

lua

-- in your character selection's client script
CreateThread(function()
    -- …prepare your character selection…
    exports.code9_loading:close()
end)

Server — Handover Data

Returns everything the screen needs: the settings and the words of the chosen language.

lua

exports.code9_loading:handoverData()

Only needed when another resource owns the connection queue. Set Config.game.handover = false, then hand the data over from your queue:

lua

AddEventHandler('playerConnecting', function(name, setKickReason, deferrals)
    deferrals.defer()
    Wait(0)
    -- …your own checks…
    deferrals.handover(exports.code9_loading:handoverData())
    deferrals.done()
end)
