Because they're global. You have to make them for every player (new Example[MAX_PLAYERS]; ).

Yes i tried that but it doesnt let me use

new Text:textdraw[MAX_PLAYERS]; but then i dont know what to put with ongamemodeinit?

It's because you're using the same textdraw-variable for everyone.

pawn Код:
/* textdraw-variable */
Text:myTextdraw[MAX_PLAYERS];
pawn Код:
/* show player textdraw to the player */
TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, myTextdraw[playerid]);
Create it at OnPlayerConnect:
pawn Код:
/* create player textdraw */
myTextdraw[playerid] = TextDrawCreate(437.000000, 248.000000, "My Textdraw");
Destroy it at OnPlayerDisconnect:
pawn Код:
/* destroy player textdraw */
TextDrawDestroy(playerid, myTextdraw[playerid]);

That is correct if you are creating a textdraw for everyone, like a textdraw with link of your website (www.mywebsite.com), but in player case you should use OnPlayerConnect.

You could use a loop for MAX_PLAYERS or GetMaxPlayers() and create all textdraws at once in OnGameModeInit, but that isn't a good idea. It's best if you create it at OnPlayerConnect and destroy it at OnPlayerDisconnect.

And if you dont destroy textdraw on OnPlayerDisconnect other player may get affected by that

You'll exceed sa:mp textdraw limit in that case, which is 2048 textdraws.
