Problem with meters system - Sn4ke2 - 11.08.2015

Hello, i make a sistem to count how meters it's remaning until player reached destination, but i have a problem, the meters not count down if i'm going to checkpoint ! here is the pawno code

PHP код:



                       if(listitem == 0)

            {

                new Distance[126]; 

                new Float:fDistance = GetPlayerDistanceFromPoint(playerid,237.9 , 115.6 , 1010.2 ); // example

                

                format(Distance,sizeof(Distance),"Meters remaining: %0.2f ",fDistance);

                TextDrawSetString(tDistance,Distance);

                TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid,tDistance);

                

            }

TextDraw (dosen't need...)

PHP код:



tDistance = TextDrawCreate(145.625000, 428.583251, "");

    TextDrawLetterSize(tDistance, 0.369000, 1.250000);

    TextDrawAlignment(tDistance, 1);

    TextDrawColor(tDistance, -13057);

    TextDrawSetShadow(tDistance, 0);

    TextDrawSetOutline(tDistance, 0);

    TextDrawBackgroundColor(tDistance, 255);

    TextDrawFont(tDistance, 1);

    TextDrawSetProportional(tDistance, 1);

    TextDrawSetShadow(tDistance, 0);

What is wrong

Re: Problem with meters system - fordawinzz - 11.08.2015

You need to set a timer which will be repeating every X seconds (you decide how often it should repeat) and then reset the textdraw string. Your code is not wrong.

Re: Problem with meters system - Sn4ke2 - 11.08.2015

Timer like SetTimer() or SetTimerEx ?

Re: Problem with meters system - fordawinzz - 11.08.2015

SetTimerEx because you're setting a timer for each player who does the thing.

ok, i use SetTimerEx but how to update te textdraw string ?

Re: Problem with meters system - MarvinPWN - 11.08.2015

You can update the textdraw with this function:

PHP код:



TextDrawSetString

You can use the wiki page to get any information about this function how you exactly use it.
