Player Textdraw Doesn't show... - SsHady - 18.12.2016

Hey!

So, I made a player-textdraw that would show everytime when someone types a wrong command.

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success)
{
    if(!success)
    {
              new str[256];
              format(str,sizeof(str),"The Command ~y~%s ~w~does not exist, To see all commands use ~y~/cmds ",cmdtext);
              PlayerTextDrawSetString(playerid,wrongcmd[playerid],str);
              PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid,wrongcmd[playerid]);
              SetTimerEx("HideWrongTD", 4000, false, "i", playerid);
    }
    return 1;
}

forward HideWrongTD(playerid);

public HideWrongTD(playerid)
{
    PlayerTextDrawHide(playerid, wrongcmd[playerid]);
}

Somehow, The textdraw isn't showing... Whenever someone types a wrong command, nothing happens.
I tried changing this

Код:

public HideWrongTD(playerid)
{
	PlayerTextDrawHide(playerid, wrongcmd[playerid]);
}

to this

Код:

public HideWrongTD(playerid)
{
	PlayerTextDrawDestroy(playerid, wrongcmd[playerid]);
}

It shows the textdraw for the first time, but after that it doesn't show it.

This is irritating, any kind of help would be appreciated?

Don't destroy it, just hide it(if it shows for first time only).

I am hiding it using the following

Код:

public HideWrongTD(playerid)
{
	PlayerTextDrawHide(playerid, wrongcmd[playerid]);
}

But it isn't showing in the first place...Nothing is happening whenever someone is typing a wrong command.

Do you mind showing us the textdraw?

Re: Player Textdraw Doesn't show... - SsHady - 18.12.2016

The problem is in here,

Код:

public OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success)
{
    if(!success)
    {
              new str[75];
              format(str,sizeof(str),"The Command ~y~%s ~w~does not exist, To see all commands use ~y~/cmds ",cmdtext);
              PlayerTextDrawSetString(playerid,wrongcmd[playerid],str);
              PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid,wrongcmd[playerid]);
              SetTimerEx("HideWrongTD", 6000, false, "i", playerid);
    }
    return 1;
}

If I use new str[70]; and keep it within 70, it perfectly shows the textdraw however some text doesn't show. If i increase it over 70, it doesn't show the entire textdraw.

Never put spaces at the end of a Textdraw Text! That prevents any TextDraw/GameText from showing.

The size of the string should be at least 90 btw. That will show a command of the length 20 maximum, when longer the text will get cut.

Does anyone know whether there is a way in which like if a player types /blahslkdjasdkasd or any other big wrong command, it only shows some characters of it and change it to like /blahsikl.... and with dots at the end?

[pawn]
public OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success)
{
if(!success)
{
new str[75];
format(str,sizeof(str),"The Command ~y~%s ~w~does not exist, To see all commands use ~y~/cmds",cmdtext);
PlayerTextDrawSetString(playerid,wrongcmd[playerid],str);
PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid,wrongcmd[playerid]);
SetTimerEx("HideWrongTD", 6000, false, "i", playerid);
}
return 1;
}/pawn]

Use strmid if the text is longer than X characters. strmid copies a string, from a given start position to a given end position.

Код:

new str[90];

if(strlen(cmdtext) > 20)
{
strmid(str,  cmdtext, 0, 20);
strcat(str, "...");
}
else strcat(str, cmdtext);

format(str,sizeof(str),"The Command ~y~%s ~w~does not exist, To see all commands use ~y~/cmds", str);

Alternatively you can set the last 4 characters of cmdtext to "...\0" to cap it at 20 characters max.
