GameTextForAll question - andrei23_yoo - 06.09.2011

hey guys,

i'm kinda new to scripting. I want to add to my server in one of the screen corners my forum's URL. I read some topics but none of them satisfied me. So I want this URL to show up for unlimited time and I found out out that TextDrawCreate can't be set for unlimited time at all, but GameTextForAll can be set.
My questions are:
- is there any way to set the unlimited time in other way than inserting "9999999999.....99999999" at the timer?
- how can i set the text position under the minimap?
- is there any way to set the size of the text?
- are there any other scripting function that i can use?

thanks in advance.

1)
pawn Код:
#define Time 999999 // change it to whatever time you want :) ( the numbers!(99))
SetTimer("Timer", Time, 0);
2) use TextDraw Editor (search for that in te FS release's section
3) Yes :
with this :
pawn Код:
TextDrawLetterSize(Text:text, Float:X, Float:Y);
and this:
pawn Код:
TextDrawTextSize(Text:text, Float:X, Float:Y);
4) Yes alot, just look for [include] 's in the "Filter Scripts and Includes" section, look like that:
[include] NameOfInclude

What do you want the additional scripting functions to do? An idea of that will help people direct your search.
well i just wanned the URL of my forum to show up permanently on the screen. but it seems i figured out how it can be done.

This is what i came up with and thanks alot for helping me
Код:
new Text:forum

public OnGameModeInit()
{
forum = TextDrawCreate(13.0,430.0,"www.******.net");
TextDrawAlignment(forum,0);
TextDrawFont(forum,1);
TextDrawLetterSize(forum,0.4,1.1);
TextDrawSetOutline(forum,1);
TextDrawColor(forum,0x00BBFFFF);
TextDrawSetProportional(forum,1);
return 1;
}

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, forum);
return 1;
}

are you crazy?

for(new i; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i ++) {
if(IsPlayerConnected(i)) {
TextDrawShowForPlayer(i, forum);
}
}

under ongamemodeinit? wtf?!

Show TextDraw(s) after player spawn or connect..

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid) or OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, forum);
.
.

exemple:

Код:
// On top of script:
new Text:Textdraw1;
Код:
// In OnGameModeInit
Textdraw1 = TextDrawCreate(0 ,0 , "Textdraw String");
TextDrawFont(Textdraw1 , 1);
TextDrawLetterSize(Textdraw1 , 1, 7);
TextDrawColor(Textdraw1 , 0x664040FF);
TextDrawSetOutline(Textdraw1 , false);
TextDrawSetProportional(Textdraw1 , true);
TextDrawSetShadow(Textdraw1 , 1);
Код:
// In OnPlayerSpawn
TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw1);
Код:
// In OnPlayerDeath
TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw1);
