Getting the string to update - AccountName - 29.05.2013

I have tried to make a simple speedo meter but it only shows the speed once.

Textdraw:

pawn Код:

new string[124], vehicleid = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
    format(string, sizeof(string), "_Speed: %d", GetVehicleSpeed(vehicleid));
    Test1 = TextDrawCreate(6.500000, 429.187500, "Loading....");
    TextDrawSetString(Test1, string);
    TextDrawLetterSize(Test1, 0.281497, 1.411874);
    TextDrawTextSize(Test1, 132.500000, 24.937500);
    TextDrawAlignment(Test1, 1);
    TextDrawColor(Test1, -1);
    TextDrawUseBox(Test1, true);
    TextDrawBoxColor(Test1, 0x1F1F1F88);
    TextDrawSetShadow(Test1, 0);
    TextDrawSetOutline(Test1, 1);
    TextDrawBackgroundColor(Test1, 51);
    TextDrawFont(Test1, 1);
    TextDrawSetProportional(Test1, 1);
    
    TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Test1);

GetVehicleSpeed:

pawn Код:

stock GetVehicleSpeed(vehicleid)
{
    new Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, vel;
    GetVehicleVelocity( vehicleid, x, y, z );
    vel = floatround( floatsqroot( x*x + y*y + z*z ) * 180 );
    return vel;
}

You need to keep updating

TextDrawSetString(Test1, string);

But this is set up wrong, you should be using PlayerTextDraws as you will need a TD for each player.

Yes? You can't honestly expect it to do anything on it's own, can you? Use timers.

I have that, TextDrawSetString(Test1, string);, so it's just a case of setting it to player textdraws?
