I've got a big confusion in my head regarding a few things in Text Draws.
Firstly, what is the difference and usage of the two tags of Text Draws; PlayerText, and Text used on a variable assigned to the Text Draw.
Secondly, I've seen [MAX_PLAYERS] added on textdraw variables. I'm confused isn't this the same as PlayerText? AFAIK, PlayerText is used when people want certain text draws strings to appear different to each player, or on different timings (e.g using timers to turn off certain textdraws for each player at different timings). But then why is MAX_PLAYERS used for? I talked a little about this on IRC and I learned that MAX_PLAYERS doesn't create new textdraws for every player, but simply assigns each variable to every player, which is different from using playertext, which assigns NEW TEXTDRAWS to every player. What's the difference between them. Please be brief and elaborate it to me. A single or two lined answers won't help me understand much.
