PlayerTextDrawSetPreviewModel - Mencent - 03.08.2016

Hello guys.

I want to report a little bug. When I create a preview model textdraw and somewhere else in the script I want to change the model index of this textdraw I have to use PlayerTextDrawSetPreviewModel. But I have to use PlayerTextDrawShow too so that the model index will update.

I hope you understand what I mean.

There's no bug. That's how textdraws are supposed to work.

Why it's not possible only to use PlayerTextDrawSetPreviewModel?

I guess it's a way to save bandwidth.

At TD creation, you (usually) set its text, color, box and many other properties with different function calls (>10). To save bandwidth, all those properties are not sent to clients individually and instantly after call, but they are saved in server memory and sent at (Player)TextDrawShow*.

Ah, okay. Thanks!
