Hello there,
Most of you know how it works but a tutorial for new developers would be helpful.

If you need to know about the usage of this tutorial, please check this thread first. [ https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=626942 ]


Okay, let's start!


Things you need:

Quote:

Map editor [ Any ] Text editor and pawn compiler [ Any ] A bit knowledge about SetDynamicObjectMaterialText A perfect position for perfect use. ZCMD [ or any] Object index knowledge.

Work steps.

Step 1.

Make an object anywhere using the editor.

Quote:

Code:

PHP код:

CreateDynamicObject(18659, 1679.44336, -1698.81262, 14.57880,   0.00000, 0.00000, 180.00000); // We will modify it.
CreateDynamicObject(3335, 1679.29102, -1698.83044, 12.27670,   0.00000, 0.00000, 90.00000); //Realistic board. 


Step 2.
Texture the objects for fit the area. [ I am doing my own, you can do as you want]

PHP код:

    TempObject = CreateDynamicObject(3335, 1679.2910, -1698.8304, 12.2767, 0.0000, 0.0000, 90.0000); //Realistic board
    SetDynamicObjectMaterial(TempObject, 0, 16093, "a51_ext", "ws_whitewall2_bottom", 0xFFFFFFFF);
    SetDynamicObjectMaterial(TempObject, 2, 10765, "airportgnd_sfse", "black64", 0xFFFFFFFF);
    //Define the modifiable object using a variable
    TextEdit = CreateDynamicObject(18659, 1679.44336, -1698.81262, 14.57880,   0.00000, 0.00000, 180.00000); // We will modify it. 


*Note : The object should be loaded using OnGameModeInit or OnFilterScriptInit

Step 3.
Make a command as you want.

PHP код:

CMD:note(playerid, params[])
{
  return 1;
} 


Now, doing it without any color [ default white ]

PHP код:

CMD:note(playerid, params[])
{
   new string[24], //For the text
          FontSize, //Size of the font that will be used for the text
          Text[24]; //Detects if the line is text.
   if(sscanf(params, "s[24]i", Text, FontSize)) //If player don't use /note %s %i
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "** *Usage*: /note [string][fontsize]");
        return 1;
     }
    format(string, sizeof(string), "%s", text); //Setting the string format using format();
    //replaced the string and FontSize
    SetDynamicObjectMaterialText(TextEdit , 0, string, 90, "Arial", FontSize, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0x0, 1); 


Perfect, you have successfully done it. Have fun and improve it as you want.

Now, optional [ Color text ]
Same thing as Step 3 but the command will be using like this.

PHP код:

CMD:note(playerid, params[])
{
    new string[24],
          FontSize,
          Text[24]; 
    if(sscanf(params, "s[24]is[12]", text, amount, params)) //If player don't use /note%s %i %s
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "** *Usage*: /note [string][fontsize] colorname");
        return 1;
     }
        //if params have white color name.
    if(!strcmp(params, "white", true, 5))
    {
         format(string, sizeof(string), "%s", Text);
        SetDynamicObjectMaterialText(TextEdit , 0, string, 90, "Arial", FontSize, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0x0, 1);
    }
        //if params have red color name.
    else if(!strcmp(params, "red", true, 5))
    {
         format(string, sizeof(string), "%s", Text);
        SetDynamicObjectMaterialText(TextEdit , 0, string, 90, "Arial", FontSize, 1, 0xFF008000, 0x0, 1);
    }
        //if params have golden color name.
    else if(!strcmp(params, "golden", true, 5))
    {
         format(string, sizeof(string), "%s", Text);
        SetDynamicObjectMaterialText(TextEdit , 0, string, 90, "Arial", FontSize, 1, 0xFFD78E10, 0x0, 1);
    }
    else
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Pick a color name");
    }
    return 1;
} 


Peace

Personal notes :

• There maybe a more advanced option for this, I am not sure.
• Tried dynamic color name type but it doesn't support
• Feel free to give a suggestion for improving this simple command.
• Have fun and make more advanced thing with this.

I will make a new tutorial with advance system.

Simple but Awesome! +REP

What's the point of this? Just pass text to the function directly. A screenshot of the result would also be nice.

Yeah taking us to another thread to take us to something else. Just post the direct link.

You simply copied and pasted code, there's no definition of what each function does. Can't call this a tutorial but more of a.. guide?

Thanks for the tip. Ya, it can be done, without format, just putting the Text directly in the SetDynamicObjectMaterialText would be a great, thanks for the feedback.

About the result, I have linked the showcase that I made before. This is the tutorial of how I did that.

Didn't get you mate. I have linked only two links, the showcase that I created and SetDynamicObjectMaterialText, what's the problem then?

copied and pasted from where? The current definition is enough, where you are not understanding, I will provide more detail if you want.
