Making a HelpBot as a textdraw - [MWR]Blood - 11.12.2010

Hello, I was bored as hell and I decided to make a tutorial about how to make a simple helpbot (as textdraw)

For first, let's define the textdraw.

pawn Код:

new Text:Txt;

Great! Now let's create the messages that you want to appear.

pawn Код:

new HelpBot[][]=
{
"Add <IP Here> To your favourites!",
"Visit our forums at ...",
"Read the /rules before playing",
"If you're a newbie here, please read /help"
};

Well done!
After that, we will have to create the textdraw.

pawn Код:

Txt = TextDrawCreate(2.000000, 429.000000, " ");
    TextDrawAlignment(Txt, 0);
    TextDrawBackgroundColor(Txt, 0xffffff33);
    TextDrawFont(Txt, 1);
    TextDrawLetterSize(Txt, 0.299999, 1.300000);
    TextDrawColor(Txt, 0x0000ff99);
    TextDrawSetOutline(Txt, 1);
    TextDrawSetProportional(Txt, 1);
    TextDrawSetShadow(Txt, 1);

Very nice!
We just created the textdraw.
What now? We should create a public function which displays randomly the messages.

pawn Код:

forward Bot();
public Bot()
{
TextDrawSetString(Text:Txt, HelpBot[random(sizeof(HelpBot))]);
return 1;
}

Almost done!
Now, let's set a timer which will change the messages.

pawn Код:

SetTimer("Bot",20000,1); //The messages will randomly change every 20 seconds.

The final thing: Now we have to show the textdraw to the player!
Put the following code after OnPlayerConnect, or after OnPlayerSpawn.

pawn Код:

TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid,Txt);

We're done!

settimer is global when you have with playerid

pawn Код:

SetTimer(playerid,"Bot",20000,1); //The messages will randomly change every 20 seconds.

it will give error
it should be settimerex
