Help with textdraws. - Whillyrez - 10.01.2017

Hi, I have a problem with textdraws... With my function specifically.
Here we go, I made this function:

PHP код:



#define red 1

#define green 2

#define yellow 3

#define purple 4

#define blue 5

#define orange 6


new ColorTag[][] =

{

    {red, 0xFF0000},

    {green, 0x00FF00},

    {yellow, 0xFFFF00},

    {purple, 0xBB00FF},

    {blue, 0x0000FF},

    {orange, 0xFFAA00}

};

PTextDrawColor(playerid, id, color)

{

    new idtag;

    for(new i; i < sizeof(ColorTag); i++)

    {

        if(color == ColorTag[i][0])

        {

            infoT[playerid][id][Color] = ColorTag[i][0];

            //PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw[playerid][id], ColorTag[i][1]);

            idtag = ColorTag[i][1];

            printf("______________%i, %x", ColorTag[i][0], ColorTag[i][1]); //It shows perfectly the hex color, but it doesn't change color

        }

    }

    return PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw[playerid][id], idtag);

}

But, for some reason, the textdraw color doesn't change... I "refresh" the textdraw(Showing it again) but it still doesn't work.
Shall I use an enum for the array? Just like this
Thanks for reading, I hope someone help me

    { 

        if(color == ColorTag[i][0]) 

        { 

            infoT[playerid][id][Color] = ColorTag[i][0]; 

            //PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw[playerid][id], ColorTag[i][1]); 

            idtag = ColorTag[i][1]; 

            printf("______________%i, %x", ColorTag[i][0], ColorTag[i][1]); //It shows perfectly the hex color, but it doesn't change color 

            PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw[playerid][id], idtag); 

        } 

    } 

    return 1;

}

You might want to also add break; into the loop, it doesn't have to continue after the color was found.

Furthermore, your colors miss an Alpha value.

Hex format for colors is RRGGBBAA.

You can also just remove the idtag variable (and every line it is used) and uncomment PlayerTextDrawColor(...), then it'll work as expected.
Or keep the original code, the issue were the colors.

            PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, Textdraw[playerid][id], idtag); 

        } 

    } 

    return 1;

}

I already tried and didn't work.

It works, I didn't know it was necessary to use transparency.
Thanks for the suggestion about the break... I didn't thought about that.
If I remove idtag it won't work, as I need to return something

You don't need to return anything.

You could add return 1; inside the loop, and 0 at the very end of the function - that way you can know if the function executed successfully.

Except you want the return value of the Color function or the array slot of the color of course
