dx notification

[Lachuks]

Hello there! Recently I made level system for my server and I wanted to add more features to it but I don't know how to make it done. I wanted to make notification when level up. I made code but when I level up it shows only for ~0.5 seconds. I wanted to make it show for ~5 seconds. 

I don't understand how timers work that's why it's hard for me. Hope you can help me and maybe explain how does it works.

Server:

addEventHandler("onElementDataChange", getRootElement(),
function (dataName)
    if (getElementType(source) == "player") and (dataName == "experience") then
        local theAccount = getPlayerAccount(source)
        if (theAccount) and not (isGuestAccount(theAccount)) then
            local level = getElementData(source, "level")
            local experience = getElementData(source, "experience")
            local experience_r = getElementData(source, "experience_r")
            if (experience >= experience_r) then
                local newLvl = level+1
                local experience_rnl = exprequired[newLvl]
                if (experience_rnl) then
                    local amountbonus = experience-experience_r
                    setElementData(source, "level", newLvl)
                    setElementData(source, "experience", 0)
                    setElementData(source, "experience_r", experience_rnl)
                    triggerClientEvent(source, "onClientLevelUp",source)
                else
                    setElementData(source, "experience", experience_r)
                end
            end
            setAccountData(theAccount, "level", getElementData(source, "level"))
            setAccountData(theAccount, "experience", getElementData(source, "experience"))
        end
    end
end)

Client: 

function newLvl()
	newLvl = true
	if newLvl == true then
		dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.4083, screenH * 0.9037, screenW * 0.1839, screenH * 0.0528, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 160), false)
		dxDrawImage(screenW * 0.4094, screenH * 0.9046, screenW * 0.0271, screenH * 0.0491, ":DayZ/tools/images/flags/join.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), false)
		dxDrawText("Congradulations! You have reached "..getElementData(getLocalPlayer(),"level").." Level!", screenW * 0.4385, screenH * 0.9046, screenW * 0.5901, screenH * 0.9537, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default-bold", "center", "center", false, false, false, false, false)
		setTimer(function()
			newLvl = false
		end,5000,1)
	end
end
addEvent( "onClientLevelUp", true )
addEventHandler( "onClientLevelUp", localPlayer, newLvl)

You need the event onClientRender for that

I have added that event before. Same effect. 

Any help?

A little bit dirty, but this might work:

local newLvl = false
function newLvl()
	newLvl = true
end
addEvent( "onClientLevelUp", true )
addEventHandler( "onClientLevelUp", localPlayer, newLvl)


addEventHandler("onClientRender", root,
function ()
	if newLvl == true then
		dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.4083, screenH * 0.9037, screenW * 0.1839, screenH * 0.0528, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 160), false)
		dxDrawImage(screenW * 0.4094, screenH * 0.9046, screenW * 0.0271, screenH * 0.0491, ":DayZ/tools/images/flags/join.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), false)
		dxDrawText("Congradulations! You have reached "..getElementData(getLocalPlayer(),"level").." Level!", screenW * 0.4385, screenH * 0.9046, screenW * 0.5901, screenH * 0.9537, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default-bold", "center", "center", false, false, false, false, false)
		setTimer(function()
			newLvl = false
		end,5000,1)
	end
end)

Works great. Thank you!  Lol. Allways when problem is solved it looks so easy.

OH lol, waaaaaahhh!! This is NO good, hell no. =/

 

local newLvl = false
function newLvlFunction()
	if not newLvl then
		setTimer(function()
			newLvl = false
		end,5000,1)
	end
	newLvl = true
end
addEvent( "onClientLevelUp", true )
addEventHandler( "onClientLevelUp", localPlayer, newLvlFunction)


addEventHandler("onClientRender", root,
function ()
	if newLvl == true then
		dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.4083, screenH * 0.9037, screenW * 0.1839, screenH * 0.0528, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 160), false)
		dxDrawImage(screenW * 0.4094, screenH * 0.9046, screenW * 0.0271, screenH * 0.0491, ":DayZ/tools/images/flags/join.png", 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), false)

	end
end)
