Square Brackets Problem - RoBy41 - 28.07.2013

Hello, I have a problem with the square brackets. So I'm using a GameText which has [ and ], example: [GSF], but IG the GameText shows a star instead of [ and ], I know it's normal, but is there any way to avoid getting the star and use [ ] ? I don't want to use ( and ), etc.

Re: Square Brackets Problem - -Prodigy- - 28.07.2013

Have you tried different gametext types? If you get star on all of them, then it's no possible unless you use ( )

Re: Square Brackets Problem - RoBy41 - 28.07.2013

Actually, I saw on a server it works with [ and ]. They use [GSF] aswell.

Show me that [GSF] line which creates the GameText

Are you sure they aren't textdraws? Using () kind of appears to be [ ] in gamtexts

From the wiki:

] displays a * symbol (Only in text styles 3, 4 and 5)

So it might only work with styles 0, 1 and 2. (not tested though so don't know if it will work on any).

Re: Square Brackets Problem - RoBy41 - 28.07.2013

I'm using the same style as that servers does. (I only cropped the GameText, and yes, it IS a GameText)

And line:

Код:

GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~Locked for [GSF]Chains.", 5500,5);

textdraw

Re: Square Brackets Problem - iggy1 - 28.07.2013

I think it also displays a star on textdraws (wanted star).

EDIT: ^^ That could be either. Does look like gametext though. Did you try asking a scripter on the server?

Thanks for the help. Tested it right now, it shows [ ] instead of ( ), +REP, this problem was really annoying.

Anyways, thank you all for your help.

SOLVED.
