GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Team Name Here", 2000, 5);

put this on "OnPlayerRequestClass(playerid, classid)"

Thanks for the help!

GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Team Name Here", 2000, 5);

I can't make up how to apply it to, let's say

make class id 100~148 all Police (colour blue)
149~160 all Hobo's (colour grey)
etc., you know what I mean

does ~r~ have to be changed by the preferred color? If yes, how? ~r~ -> ~blue~ ?
And what do 2000 and 5 stand for?
Thanks in advance.

~r~ = red
~b~ = blue
~p~ = purple
~y~ = yellow
~g~ = green

etc... just use first letter of color you want with "~" before letter and after

also when using class selection if you want to use diff names for diff characters just use a simple switch code:

pawn Код:

switch(classid)
{
   case 1..5: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Team 1 Name Here", 2000, 5); <---- Skins: 1 through 5
   case 6..10: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Team 2 Name Here", 2000, 5); <---- Skins 6 through 10
}

and you can keep going

EDIT: the 2000 stands for the milliseconds the text will show onscreen so the text will who for 2 seconds unill it goes away
The "5" means the style of the text, go here for all styles: https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/GameTextStyle

Thanks man
But since I'm a noob I don't know where to put the switch into...
Or better said, I don't know how to put it together.


My idea is like this:

public OnPlayerRequestClass(playerid, classid)
{
switch(classid)
{
case 1..5: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Team 1 Name Here", 2000, 5); // <---- Skins: 1 through 5
case 6..10: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Team 2 Name Here", 2000, 5); // <---- Skins 6 through 10
}
SetPlayerPos(playerid, 1059.6108,-344.4459,73.9922);
SetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, 1.7606);
SetPlayerCameraPos(playerid, 1059.4236,-340.5163,73.9922);
SetPlayerCameraLookAt(playerid, 1059.6108,-344.4459,73.9922);
return 1;
}


Just a second, maybe I am right :P

Allright, yes!! Thanks alot, it works

[TMNuclear]

Now I added this:

public OnPlayerRequestClass(playerid, classid)
{
switch(classid)
{
case 1..19: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~w~Civilian", 2000, 6);5
case 20..25: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~g~Groove", 2000, 6);
case 26..28: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~p~Ballas", 2000, 6);
case 29..31: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Aztecas", 2000, 6);
case 32..34: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Vagos", 2000, 6);
case 35..37: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Da Nang Boys, 2000, 6);
case 38..40: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Rifa", 2000, 6);
case 41..43: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Traids", 2000, 6);
case 44..47: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Bikers", 2000, 6);
case 48..55: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~r~Mafia", 2000, 6);
}

I referred the cases just like the way I added AddPlayerClass (x,y,z, etc.) every line is 1 case I presume.
Now I'm full of errors like this:

error 002: only a single statement (or expression) can follow each "case"
error 014: invalid statement; not in switch
warning 215: expression has no effect

And another thing, am I able to put an advanced color code in the place of ~r~ ? Like: ~#FF0000~ or something?
Maybe you can also answer which are the colors that do count?
Thanks in advance.







Argh never mind! Made a mistake!!

[Rks25]

case 1..19: GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~w~Civilian", 2000, 6);5
Remove that.

[TMNuclear]

Yes that's the mistake xD
And missed an " after Da Nang Boys.

Now my only question is about the colors

[Rks25]

No that is not possible, you can do that in TextDraw.

[TMNuclear]

Ok, that's some hard stuff I guess, I'm going to have a look.

[TMNuclear]

Me again :P

I've got a TextDraw program, so I can design it in-game.
But how do I add all that to the select character menu AND to make it function with the different cases?
Yes, that's a hard question I guess :P

[Rks25]

no it is not.
You create it in game and save it using Zamaroht's Editor.
Than you go to general reference or wiki and see how textdraw works.

[TMNuclear]

Rk_, I sent you a PM but I ask it here too, how do I export the file after editing with the Draw Editor?

[Rks25]

if you open the file, you see the steps in it, like:
// put this below OnGameModeIinit.
etc.etc

[TMNuclear]

Which file?
I only got one, which is Draw Editor in filterscript
