`AddEventHandler`

FiveM shared native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Attaches a handler to an event. For LOCAL events (like onResourceStart) use it alone; for NETWORKED events you must also RegisterNetEvent.

handler reference

eventNamestringThe event to listen for.

handlerfunctionThe callback.

AddEventHandler('onResourceStart', function(resource)
  if resource == GetCurrentResourceName() then
    print('my resource started')
  end
end)

For events triggered over the network (client↔server), AddEventHandler alone won't fire — you also need RegisterNetEvent.
onResourceStart fires for EVERY resource — always check it's yours with GetCurrentResourceName().
