Hello there!
So I'd need some help because I don't know how to create a textdraws with timer.
I mean there would be 2 options textd1 and textd2. (These are the textdraws.)
And I need a timer what would delete textd1 and create textd2 then vice versa in every 3 mins.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Frist way: (here the messages will not mix each others and can't be repeated more than 1 time at 3 minutes)

PHP код:

new
    TEXT_STEP,
    TD_AGAIN_X,
    TD_AGAIN,
    Text:your_TD[ MAX_PLAYERS ]
;
public OnGameModeInit( )
{
    TD_AGAIN_X = SetTimer( "TDAgainX", 60 * 3, true );
    return 1;
}
public OnPlayrSpawn( playerid )
{
    TextDrawShowForPlayer( playerid, your_TD[ playerid ] );
    return 1;
}
stock RandomTextDraw( )
{
    foreach(new i: Player)
    {
        if( TEXT_STEP == 1 )
        {
            TextDrawSetString( your_TD[ i ], "Your first message here" );
        }
        if( TEXT_STEP == 0 )
        {
            TextDrawSetString( your_TD[ i ], "Your second message here" );
        }
        TextDrawShowForPlayer( playerid, your_TD[ i ] );
    }
    return 1;
}
function TDAgainX( )
{
    TEXT_STEP = 1;
    RandomTextDraw( );
    KillTimer( TD_AGAIN_X );
    TD_AGAIN = SetTimer( "TDAgain", 60 * 3, true );
}
function TDAgain( )
{
    TEXT_STEP = 0;
    RandomTextDraw( );
    KillTimer( TD_AGAIN );
    TD_AGAIN_X = SetTimer( "TDAgainX", 60 * 3, true );
} 


Another way: (here one message can be repeated more than 1 time at 3 minutes)

PHP код:

new Text:your_TD[ MAX_PLAYERS ];
new RandomTextdraw[ ][ ] =
{
    "Your first message",
    "Your second message"
};
public OnGameModeInit( )
{
    SetTimer( "RandomTextDrawTimer", 60 * 3, 1 );
    return 1;
}
public OnPlayrSpawn( playerid )
{
    TextDrawShowForPlayer( playerid, your_TD[ playerid ] );
    return 1;
}
function RandomTextDrawTimer( )
{
    foreach(new i: Player)
    {
        TextDrawSetString( your_TD[ i ], RandomTextdraw[ random( sizeof( RandomTextdraw ) ) ] );
    }
    return 1;
} 


I literally think that you will use the first way that i gave you here.
I don't think that you want messages to repeat. So use first. It is ofc your choice.

nice

I guess you want random tips or messages??

PHP код:

#include <a_samp>
static Text:TD;
static timer;
static const RandM[][] =
{
    "Message 1",
    "Message 2",
    "Message 3"
};
public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
    TD = TextDrawCreate(315.0, 5.0, " ");
    timer = SetTimer("RandMSG", 1000*60*3, true);
    return 1;
}
public OnFilterScriptExit()
{
    TextDrawDestroy(TD);
    KillTimer(timer);
    return 1;
}
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, TD);
    return 1;
}
forward RandMSG();
public RandMSG()
{
    TextDrawSetString(TD, RandM[random(sizeof(RandM))]);
    return 1;
}

I'm not sure why FallenGirl made such a complicated snippet

You could simply:

PHP код:


new Text:textdraw[MAX_PLAYERS];
forward TextDrawDisplay(playerid, step);
public TextDrawDisplay(playerid, step)
{
       new nextstep = step;
       TextDrawDestroy(textdraw[playerid]);
       if(step == 2)
       {
          SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "That's the last of the textdraws");
          return 1;
       }
       else if(step == 0)
       {
          textdraw[playerid] = TextDrawCreate(240.0,580.0,"Welcome to my SA-MP server");
       }
       else if(step == 1)
       {
          textdraw[playerid] = TextDrawCreate(240.0,580.0,"I hope you enjoy your stay");
       }
       nextstep++;
       SetTimerEx("TextDrawDisplay", 1000, false, "ii", playerid, nextstep);
} 


If you're having many textdraws, just make it a switch rather than an else if, else if, etc...
(Should work in theory, not tested :P)
