Doubt Texdraws. - Jose_grana - 27.09.2018

My question is when to use CreateTextDraws and CreatePlayerTextDraw and why.

Thank you.

CreatePlayerTextDraw

It creates a textdraw for a player.

PHP код:



// This variable is used to store the id of the textdraw

// so that we can use it throught the script

new PlayerText:welcomeText[MAX_PLAYERS];

 

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)

{

    // First, create the textdraw

    welcomeText[playerid] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(playerid, 320.0, 240.0, "Welcome to my SA-MP server");

 

    // Now show it

    PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid, welcomeText[playerid]);

}

CreateTextDraws:

It creates a TextDraw (Globally)

For eg:

PHP код:



// This variable is used to store the id of the textdraw

// so that we can use it throught the script

new Text:welcomeText; 

 

public OnGameModeInit()

{

    // This line is used to create the textdraw. 

    // Note: This creates a textdraw without any formatting.

    welcomeText = TextDrawCreate(240.0,580.0,"Welcome to my SA-MP server");

    return 1;

}

 

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)

{

    //This is used to show the player the textdraw when they connect.

    TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid,welcomeText);

}

Now you will ask, what do you mean by this line?

It creates a TextDraw (Globally)

By this line, I mean Global Textdraws.

Global Textdraws

Global textdraws can be created, then shown to all players. There is a limit as to how many can be created, though. This means if you have a server with 500 players, creating more than 4 textdraws per-player is not possible. That's where player-textdraws come in.

I hope that I was able to give you a rough idea about this.

If I create a record with TextDrawCreate I have to show them all or I can show it to a single player??.

TextDrawCreate is for everyone who will enter the server, I repeat this example

if you have a server with 500 players, creating more than 4 textdraws per-player is not possible.

That's where TextDrawCreate come in.
