Help please

Hello, can you tell me how to make dxDrawText appears after 1 sec and disappears after 2 secs

and it is possible to make the dxdrawtext appears only in specified dimension? if so give me examples please

To create a dxDrawText appears after 1 sec and disappears after 2 sec, you need to use

setTimer

function.

+ It is possible to make the dxDrawText appears only in specified dimension...

For this, You need to check player's dimension with the function

getElementDimension

functions with dxDrawText must be handled with the below event.

onClientRender

And note that this should be a Client Side Script.

function renderCountDown (text)
	dxDrawText("1", (screenW * 0.1596) + 1, (screenH * 0.2839) + 1, (screenW * 0.8404) + 1, (screenH * 0.4297) + 1, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 4.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
	dxDrawText("1", screenW * 0.1596, screenH * 0.2839, screenW * 0.8404, screenH * 0.4297, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 4.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end
addRenderEvent(renderCountDown, "onClientRender")
	setTimer ( function()
	end, 1000, 1 )
removeRenderEvent(renderCountDown, "onClientRender")
	setTimer ( function()
	end, 3000, 1 )

I want it appears after 1 sec and disappears after 3 secs

and i tried this 

function renderCountDown (text)
    local screenW , screenH = guiGetScreenSize()
	dxDrawText("1", (screenW * 0.1596) + 1, (screenH * 0.2839) + 1, (screenW * 0.8404) + 1, (screenH * 0.4297) + 1, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 4.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
	dxDrawText("1", screenW * 0.1596, screenH * 0.2839, screenW * 0.8404, screenH * 0.4297, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 4.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end
addEventHandler ("onClientRender",root,renderCountDown)

addRenderEvent(renderCountDown, "onClientRender")
	setTimer ( function()
	end, 1000, 1 )
removeRenderEvent(renderCountDown, "onClientRender")
	setTimer ( function()
	end, 3000, 1 )

Make sure copy that code to your script

wtf why so difficult?

function renderCountDown (text)
	if not isTimer(offRender) then
		offRender = setTimer(function()
			removeEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),renderCountDown) -- remove render after 3 seconds
			return
		end,3000,1)
	end
	dxDrawText("1", (screenW * 0.1596) + 1, (screenH * 0.2839) + 1, (screenW * 0.8404) + 1, (screenH * 0.4297) + 1, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 4.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
	dxDrawText("1", screenW * 0.1596, screenH * 0.2839, screenW * 0.8404, screenH * 0.4297, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 4.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end

addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),renderCountDown) -- add render

OR

function renderCountDown (text)
	if not startTick then
		startTick = getTickCount()
	end

	if getTickCount() - startTick > 3000 then -- 3000ms = 3s
		removeEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),renderCountDown) -- remove render
		startTick = nil
		return
	end

	dxDrawText("1", (screenW * 0.1596) + 1, (screenH * 0.2839) + 1, (screenW * 0.8404) + 1, (screenH * 0.4297) + 1, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 4.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
	dxDrawText("1", screenW * 0.1596, screenH * 0.2839, screenW * 0.8404, screenH * 0.4297, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 4.00, "bankgothic", "center", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
end

addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(),renderCountDown) -- add render

I didn't test both
