Fixed an issue where the onClientExplosion event (which is triggered every time an explosion is created on the client’s scene) wasn’t being triggered when using createExplosion on the client-side.

Client-side testing :

local explosionTypes = {
    [0] = "Grenade",
    [1] = "Molotov",
    [2] = "Rocket",
    [3] = "Car",
    [4] = "Quick Car",
    [5] = "Boat",
    [6] = "Helicopter",
    [7] = "Mine",
    [8] = "Object",
    [9] = "Tank Grenade",
    [10] = "Small",
    [11] = "Tear Gas",
    [12] = "Fire",
    [13] = "Unknown"
}


local testPos = Vector3(2007.00000, 1545.00000, 13.17003) -- Change to any position
local delay = 1500 
local current = 0

function triggerNextExplosion()
    if explosionTypes[current] then
        createExplosion(testPos.x, testPos.y, testPos.z, current, nil)
        outputChatBox("Testing explosion type: " .. current .. " (" .. explosionTypes[current] .. ")", 255, 200, 0)
        current = current + 1
        setTimer(triggerNextExplosion, delay, 1)
    else
        outputChatBox("Explosion type test finished.", 0, 255, 0)
    end
end

addCommandHandler("testexplosions", function()
    current = 0
    triggerNextExplosion()
end)


addEventHandler("onClientExplosion", root,
    function(x, y, z, theType, theVehicle)
        outputChatBox("[Client-side] Explosion detected at: " .. x .. ", " .. y .. ", " .. z, 255, 100, 100)
    end
)
