Events from SDK 1.10 or higher not triggering

[rodistic]

Hello there,

just creating an a little application to test out the telemetry sdk and got headache when i tried to use following events.

game refuel-paid
game fine
job cancelled
and more

all of those events are markes as only working with SDK 1.10 and above. but they just wont get triggerd.
I'm using the SCS SDK v1.10.6

I can't reproduce. Some of the events (specifically the refuel ones) are a bit wacky, but they do trigger for me. Can you send a snippet your code?

`const truckSimTelemetry = require("trucksim-telemetry")

const telemetry = truckSimTelemetry()

telemetry.job.on('cancelled', function(args){
//code
})

`

cancelled doesnst trigger that way but Job Started event worked that way. I also checked the data arrays of the event array. the active state of Job Cancelled wont change from false to true

HI.

Make sure you call the watch function to watch the game for changes in order to trigger the events, see example.
Also make sure that the interval is not too long, as some events only stay active for a short while.

Hey thanks for the answer, of course i have the watch function, just forgot to put it in the code. currently i have a interval of 3500 but also tried 500, is that still to long?

I recommend 100ms (it's the default), you can go as low as 10ms but you might run into memory issues due to how the plugin and javascript garbage collection works.

so tried to set the watch interval on 100ms,80ms,50ms. And i must say it so inconsistent that it doesnt make sense to implement it. The only problem ist that the Object , for example the fine Object changes the amount and the offence when an fine is done but the active attribute seems to trigger for a teenie weenie itsy bitsy time span. so it is luck if i catch an event or not . Might it be possible to change the speed of the active attribute? So that it is alive for 200ms or like that?

You are correct that it's inconsistent, I've noticed that myself with testing, especially with the fine event.
I think it's mainly a problem with the plugin itself, see the issue linked below.
