If you want to show it for 5 seconds, and then hide it.
Start by showing it in OnPlayerConnect, then you can create a 5-sec timer that hides it, and shows the dialog.

I prefer you to use SetTimerEx("HideWhatever", 5200, false, "i", playerid);
like that, 5.2 seconds because the timer is kind of sometimes bugged, It does it too fast

I mean when you show the textdraw, create a timer using SetTimerEx, that hides the textdraw and shows the dialog.
Example:
pawn Код:
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, textdrawname);
    SetTimerEx( ... );
}

forward TimerName(playerid)
public TimerName(playerid)
{
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, textdrawname);
    ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, ... );
}
