Hide specific TextDraw with a timer - clavador - 22.09.2009

Hi!

I've got a question:

I have this text draw:

Code:

new Text:JeffersonTextDraw;

When people enter a certain place, it displays the text draw:

Code:

public EnterExit(playerid)
{
	// Salida interior principal del hotel comun
	if(GetPlayerDistanceToPointEx(playerid,2214.3914,-1150.5789,1025.7969) <= 1)
	{
	  SetPlayerInterior(playerid, 0);
	  SetPlayerPos(playerid, 2230.9124,-1158.8999,25.8308);
	  TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, JeffersonTextDraw);

    return 1;
	}
	// Entrada exterior principal del hotel comun
	if(GetPlayerDistanceToPointEx(playerid,2233.1624,-1160.1387,25.8906) <= 1)
	{
    SetPlayerInterior(playerid, 15);
	  SetPlayerPos(playerid, 2215.0,-1150.5789 + 1,1025.7969);
  	  TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, JeffersonTextDraw);
  	  SetTimerEx("HideDraws", 3000, false, "ii", playerid, JeffersonTextDraw);
    return 1;
	}

    return 1;
}

Now, as you see, I've tried to pass the text draw as a string too, but in game the textdraws wont disappear.

Code:

public HideDraws(playerid, draw)
{
  TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, draw);
	return 1;
}

What I'm I doing wrong?

I've done too:

Code:

forward HideDraws(playerid, Text:draw);

	if(GetPlayerDistanceToPointEx(playerid,2233.1624,-1160.1387,25.8906) <= 1)
	{
    SetPlayerInterior(playerid, 15);
	  SetPlayerPos(playerid, 2215.0,-1150.5789 + 1,1025.7969);
  	  TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, JeffersonTextDraw);
  	  SetTimerEx("HideDraws", 3000, false, "is", playerid, "JeffersonTextDraw");
    return 1;
	}

public HideDraws(playerid, Text:draw)
{
  TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, draw);
	return 1;
}

Textdraws are special variables. Like when you do Text:TheTextdraw. I think it's like that so that you don't accidentally mess something up. Anyway, why don't you just do something like this?

pawn Code:

SetTimerEx("HideDraws", 3000, false, "i", playerid);

//Then further down
public HideDraws(playerid, draw)
{
  TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, JeffersonTextDraw);
  return 1;
}

Cuz I want a single function to hide any text draw i pass to it.

Re: Hide specific TextDraw with a timer - clavador - 22.09.2009

Anyone that can give me a clue?

Re: Hide specific TextDraw with a timer - clavador - 23.09.2009

well, thanks anyway...

I made the timerex pass an integer like 1 for JeffersonTextDraw, 2 for LSPDTextDraw, etc...

Cheers.
