hi guys so i create this system for showing other players how many time a paused player has been away from the keyboard [on his head]:

Code:

// ======= AFK LABLE ====== //
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
          if(IsPlayerPaused(i) == true)
          {
                 afktimer[i]++;
                   if(afktimer[i] > 0)
                   {
                            new stra[200];
	 		    format(stra,sizeof(stra),"AFK : %d Sec",afktimer[i]);
		 	    afklable[i] = Create3DTextLabel(str, COLOR_CYAN, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, 40.0, 0);
			    Attach3DTextLabelToPlayer(afklable[i], i, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5);
     		   }
           }
    }
// ======= AFK LABLE ====== //

// ======= AFK LABLE - REMOVE ====== //
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
			 if(IsPlayerPaused(i) != true && afktimer[i] > 0)
			 {
    		         afktimer[i] = 0;
			 Delete3DTextLabel(afklable[i]);
			 }
	}
// ======= AFK LABLE - REMOVE ====== //

Add

Code:

Delete3DTextLabel(afklable[i]);

Just before

Code:

afklable[i] = Create3DTextLabel(str, COLOR_CYAN, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0, 40.0, 0);

Why destroy and recreate constantly if you can also just update the text?

Might be because of the Delete code you added. If the variable wasn't used before it will be ID 0 that gets deleted, which at that point might be a valid label for another player.

Initialize the array for each player with an invalid ID in OnPlayerConnect, eg. INVALID_3DTEXT_ID. Then in the timer, check if the ID you want to delete is valid before deleting.
When you finally delete the label when the player returns, set player's array slot to INVALID_3DTEXT_ID again.

That way you ensure no unrelated Labels get deleted.

You can also switch to Update3DTextLabelText instead of recreating so this wouldn't be a problem.

Agreed with NaS. Create the 3D text only once, update the text accordingly, delete and set the variable to INVALID when player returns, delete and set the variable as INVALID when a player disconnects.
