These objects are good for making signs:

# Blank planes for text signs
19475, Plane001, signsurf, 300, 2097284
19476, Plane002, signsurf, 300, 2097284
19477, Plane003, signsurf, 300, 2097284
19478, Plane004, signsurf, 300, 2097284
19479, Plane005, signsurf, 300, 2097284
19480, Plane006, signsurf, 300, 2097284
19481, Plane007, signsurf, 300, 2097284
19482, Plane008, signsurf, 300, 2097284
19483, Plane009, signsurf, 300, 2097284

Not AEROplanes, as in flat planes - a flat surface with no collision for you to put text on. Material is always 0.

Well where would i put the

Quote:

if (strcmp("/text", cmdtext, true) == 0)
{
new myobject = CreateObject(991, -74.28, 1446.68, 9.92,); //create the object
SetObjectMaterialText(myobject, "Test {FFFFFF}0.3{008500}e {FF8200}RC7", 0, OBJECT_MATERIAL_SIZE_256x128,\
"Arial", 28, 0, 0xFFFF8200, 0xFF000000, OBJECT_MATERIAL_TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER);
// write "SA-MP 0.3e RC7" on the object, with orange font color and black background
return 1;
}

I'm trying to figure that out I'm using VX-RP 2 By Calgon

That script uses zcmd, so you just need to replace

pawn Code:

if (strcmp("/text", cmdtext, true) == 0)

with

pawn Code:

CMD:text(playerid, params[])

Although you might want to change 'text' to something else, because I think '/text' is also used for SMSing in that script.

You might also want to take a look at this, the script uses that streamer for objects.

I get these errors:

Code:

E:\Users\Desktop\Linux-Server\gamemodes\vx-rp.pwn(5667) : error 003: declaration of a local variable must appear in a compound block
E:\Users\Desktop\Linux-Server\gamemodes\vx-rp.pwn(5671) : error 010: invalid function or declaration

And thats where i put the CMD: text with the rest of the code

Re: Custom Text On Objects -How To??- - Calgon - 03.07.2012

You need to place it outside of any other code, the bottom of the script would be an appropriate place for it.

pawn Code:

CMD:text(playerid, params[]) { 
new myobject = CreateObject(991, -74.28, 1446.68, 9.92,); //create the object
SetObjectMaterialText(myobject, "Test {FFFFFF}0.3{008500}e {FF8200}RC7", 0, OBJECT_MATERIAL_SIZE_256x128,\
"Arial", 28, 0, 0xFFFF8200, 0xFF000000, OBJECT_MATERIAL_TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER);
// write "SA-MP 0.3e RC7" on the object, with orange font color and black background
return 1;
}

So with the CMD: should all go to the bottom....
