Help. guiCreateEdit

[Hugos]

Help. I need to create a "guiCreateEdit", focus on it (so that you can enter text immediately) and make it transparent. How?

With that sorted out, i found my mistakes. There is such a question:
How do I display text (guiGetText) on the screen when the user enters text in "guiCreateEdit" (in real time)?

use

guiGetText?

--try this

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( )

editBox = guiCreateEdit( 0.3, 0.1, 0.4, 0.1, "", true )

function salh()
dxDrawText ( guiGetText(editBox),44,  41, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1.0, "pricedown" )
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, salh)

Thank! Text is not displayed. Added timer:

    setTimer ( function()
        dxDrawText ( guiGetText(editBox),44,  41, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1.0, "pricedown" ) 
    end, 1, 0 )

 

I already have one function (displays "dxDrawRectangle", "dxDrawText"). How to print "function salh ()" over?

I understand, you need to use the "postGUI"

By the way, using a timer inside a render event is useless because 'onClientRender' event gets triggered everytime GTA renders a new frame.

Only now understood. Thank you for making my life easier and code!
