Textdraw string "\" - De4dpOol - 24.02.2015

Hello, today i was creating a textdraw and I got the following error:

pawn Код:

test.pwn(6902) : error 037: invalid string (possibly non-terminated string)
test.pwn(6902) : warning 215: expression has no effect
test.pwn(6902) : error 001: expected token: ";", but found ")"
test.pwn(6902) : error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero
test.pwn(6902) : fatal error 107: too many error messages on one line

The line is:

pawn Код:

new Textdraw[14];//I have 14 textdraws
Textdraw[0] = TextDrawCreate(45.000000, 298.000000, "\");

When I remove the "\" it compiles fine. But I want to use it in textdraw. It worked in textdraw editor but not working in script. Any idea to fix it?

The backslash is the default escape character. To insert a literal backslash escape it with another backslash "\\".
