Lua’s traditional way to register a net event and add an event handler:

RegisterNetEvent("eventName")
-- The event handler function follows after registering the event first.
AddEventHandler("eventName", function(eventParam1, eventParam2)
    -- Code here will be executed once the event is triggered.
end)

Lua’s simplified way:

RegisterNetEvent("eventName", function(eventParam1, eventParam2)
    -- Code here will be executed once the event is triggered.
end)

– SERVER

TriggerClientEvent('eventName', playerId, 'Hello world!')
