[HELP] Textdraw not showing - roar - 24.02.2014

So I have these codes that supposed to be Player textdraws (not global).

pawn Код:

new PlayerText:Textdraw20[MAX_PLAYERS];
new PlayerText:Textdraw21[MAX_PLAYERS];
new PlayerText:Textdraw22[MAX_PLAYERS];


public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    Textdraw20[playerid] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(playerid, 37.999977, 431.573272, "2000");
    PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 0.215999, 1.380977);
    PlayerTextDrawAlignment(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 1);
    PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], -2147483393);
    PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 0);
    PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 0);
    PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 51);
    PlayerTextDrawFont(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 1);
    PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 1);

    Textdraw21[playerid] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(playerid, 120.800018, 431.075622, "1000");
    PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 0.208399, 1.495465);
    PlayerTextDrawAlignment(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 1);
    PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], -2147483393);
    PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 0);
    PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 0);
    PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 51);
    PlayerTextDrawFont(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 1);
    PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 1);

    Textdraw22[playerid] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(playerid, 211.199981, 430.577758, "Louis");
    PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 0.278400, 1.570132);
    PlayerTextDrawAlignment(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 1);
    PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], -2147483393);
    PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 0);
    PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 0);
    PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 51);
    PlayerTextDrawFont(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 1);
    PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 1);

    return 1;
}


public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
    TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid]);
    TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid]);
    TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid]);
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerUpdate(playerid)
{
    TextDrawSetString(Textdraw20[playerid], PInfo[playerid][Kills]);
    TextDrawSetString(Textdraw21[playerid], PInfo[playerid][Deaths]);
    return 1;
}

And the textdraw20 and textdraw21 doesn't show anything.

NOTE: I'm using a textdraw box below those text. If you want to see how the textdraw looks like then please let me know.

NOTE: Same goes for the other player textdraws I'm creating. It doesn't show anything!

Thanks! I really appreciate someone for the help!

Re: [HELP] Textdraw not showing - roar - 24.02.2014

Any help?

Re: [HELP] Textdraw not showing - $Marco$ - 24.02.2014

You need to move the whole OnPlayerConnect section to OnGameModeInit.
Cheers.

Re: [HELP] Textdraw not showing - roar - 24.02.2014

How am I suppose to move that codes to OnGameModeInit since it doesn't have playerid function in it?

Re: [HELP] Textdraw not showing - Pillhead2007 - 24.02.2014

PHP код:



public OnGameModeInit()

{

  for(new i=0;i<MAX_PLAYERS;i++)

  {

     //Add Your Code Here

    //Change [playerid] to [i]

  }

  return 1;

}

Re: [HELP] Textdraw not showing - roar - 25.02.2014

This is the codes after I attempt to change (it is still not working!) Am I doing something wrong here?

pawn Код:

new PlayerText:Textdraw20[MAX_PLAYERS];
new PlayerText:Textdraw21[MAX_PLAYERS];
new PlayerText:Textdraw22[MAX_PLAYERS];

public OnGameModeInit()
{   
    for(new i=0; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        Textdraw20[i] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(i, 37.999977, 431.573272, "");
        PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(i, Textdraw20[i], 0.215999, 1.380977);
        PlayerTextDrawAlignment(i, Textdraw20[i], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawColor(i, Textdraw20[i], -2147483393);
        PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(i, Textdraw20[i], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(i, Textdraw20[i], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(i, Textdraw20[i], 51);
        PlayerTextDrawFont(i, Textdraw20[i], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(i, Textdraw20[i], 1);

        Textdraw21[i] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(i, 120.800018, 431.075622, "");
        PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(i, Textdraw21[i], 0.208399, 1.495465);
        PlayerTextDrawAlignment(i, Textdraw21[i], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawColor(i, Textdraw21[i], -2147483393);
        PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(i, Textdraw21[i], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(i, Textdraw21[i], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(i, Textdraw21[i], 51);
        PlayerTextDrawFont(i, Textdraw21[i], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(i, Textdraw21[i], 1);

        Textdraw22[i] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(i, 211.199981, 430.577758, "");
        PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(i, Textdraw22[i], 0.278400, 1.570132);
        PlayerTextDrawAlignment(i, Textdraw22[i], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawColor(i, Textdraw22[i], -2147483393);
        PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(i, Textdraw22[i], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(i, Textdraw22[i], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(i, Textdraw22[i], 51);
        PlayerTextDrawFont(i, Textdraw22[i], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(i, Textdraw22[i], 1);
    }
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{
    for(new i=0;i<MAX_PLAYERS;i++)
    {
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw20[i]);
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw21[i]);
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw22[i]);
    }

    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerUpdate(playerid)
{
    for(new i=0;i<MAX_PLAYERS;i++)
    {
        TextDrawSetString(Textdraw20[i], PInfo[playerid][Kills]);
        TextDrawSetString(Textdraw21[i], PInfo[playerid][Deaths]);
    }
    return 1;
}

Please let me know if I did something wrong..

Cheers.

that doesn't really matter.

I don't understand what you're doing though, and I'm wondering why it doesn't show any errors/warnings.

because of this:

Creation of a PLAYER textdraw;

pawn Код:

Textdraw20[i] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(i, 37.999977, 431.573272, "");

Showing a Textdraw( wrong function! )

pawn Код:

TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid]);

switch those to:

PlayerTextDrawShow.

https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/PlayerTextDrawShow

the way you do it, it should give some tag mismatch warnings if I'm right.

same goes for OnPlayerUpdate

pawn Код:

TextDrawSetString(Textdraw20[i], PInfo[playerid][Kills]);

should be PlayerTextDrawSetString

https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/PlayerTextDrawSetString

also don't use loops in OnPlayerConnect/OnPlayerSpawn/OnPlayerUpdate as it has a playerid parameter already.

this is how you should do it:

pawn Код:

// Create Playertextdraws here( new PlayerText:yourtext; );
OnPlayerConnect // create them here with yourtext = CreatePlayerTextDraw;
OnPlayerSpawn // Show them here with PlayerTextDrawShow;
OnPlayerUpdate // update them here with PlayerTextDrawSetString

NOTE: after changing the string, you need to RE-SHOW the textdraw, meaning you should do:

pawn Код:

PlayerTextDrawSetString( .... );
PlayerTextDrawShow( .... );

Okay, thanks for your replies, but however it is still not working:

pawn Код:

        PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 0.215999, 1.380977);
        PlayerTextDrawAlignment(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], -2147483393);
        PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 51);
        PlayerTextDrawFont(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid], 1);

        Textdraw21[playerid] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(playerid, 120.800018, 431.075622, " ");
        PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 0.208399, 1.495465);
        PlayerTextDrawAlignment(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], -2147483393);
        PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 51);
        PlayerTextDrawFont(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid], 1);

        Textdraw22[playerid] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(playerid, 211.199981, 430.577758, " ");
        PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 0.278400, 1.570132);
        PlayerTextDrawAlignment(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], -2147483393);
        PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawSetOutline(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 0);
        PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 51);
        PlayerTextDrawFont(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 1);
        PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid], 1);
        return 1;
}

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid)
{   
        PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid]);
        PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid]);
        PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid, Textdraw22[playerid]);
        return 1;
}

public OnPlayerUpdate(playerid)
{
        PlayerTextDrawSetString(Textdraw20[playerid], PInfo[playerid][Kills]);
        PlayerTextDrawSetString(Textdraw21[playerid], PInfo[playerid][Deaths]);
        return 1;
}

Did I do something wrong, again?

Or if I'm not, what might be the reasons it is not appearing?

Or if I'm not, what might be the reasons it is not appearing?

because you're leaving the textdraws empty.

Quote:

NOTE: after changing the string, you need to RE-SHOW the textdraw.

so you should do:

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerUpdate(playerid)
{
        PlayerTextDrawSetString(Textdraw20[playerid], PInfo[playerid][Kills]);
        PlayerTextDrawSetString(Textdraw21[playerid], PInfo[playerid][Deaths]);
        PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid, Textdraw20[playerid]);
        PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid]);
        return 1;
}

https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/CreatePlayerTextDraw

checkout the red bars stating "NOTE" for all the information you need

also I do NOT recommend using OnPlayerUpdate to update the kills and deaths.

simply use OnPlayerDeath.

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerDeath(playerid, killerid, reason)
{
        PInfo[ killerid ][ Kills ]++;
        PInfo[ playerid ][ Deaths ]++;
        PlayerTextDrawSetString(Textdraw20[killerid], PInfo[killerid][Kills]);
        PlayerTextDrawSetString(Textdraw21[playerid], PInfo[playerid][Deaths]);
        PlayerTextDrawShow(killerid, Textdraw20[killerid]);
        PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid, Textdraw21[playerid]);
        return 1;
}

Re: [HELP] Textdraw not showing - Konstantinos - 25.02.2014

The second parameter of PlayerTextDrawSetString must be string and not integers. You also should check if the killer is connected/valid player before using it in an array otherwise a run time error will be caused.

And a last thing, per-player textdraws should be created in OnPlayerConnect, if the server starts, there are 0 players connected thus it will create none of them.
