[Question]How to show Dx only while Shooting?

[Skadoosh]

Okay so here is my problem. I am making a script which will make a text appear on the clients screen while he is attacking a rival clan base and i want that text to appear only while that player is shooting. I have tried a lot of ways and nothing seems perfect, like i was able to make the text appear only while he is shooting but it keeps blinking and thats not how i want it to be seen...i am a beginner so please reply to this asap if you have a solution to this.

local function OpenDx(...)
local v = {...}
if v[2] == true then
removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root,v[1])
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root,v[1])
elseif v[2]  == false then
removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root,v[1])
end
end

function dx1()
--- dxDraw(...)
end
OpenDx(dx1,true) -- show dx1
OpenDx(dx1,false) -- hide dx1
--///
function dx2()
--- dxDraw(...)
end
OpenDx(dx2,true) -- show dx2
OpenDx(dx2,false) -- hide dx2

What about detecting when the fire key(s) are being pressed and released?

Display the text when the fire key is down and then stop displaying when the fire key has been released?

However, this may get complex because of the amount of ways to attack and may just need to check a whole mess of conditions...

Let me throw in an idea. To avoid any kind of flickering (rapid presses of the fire button, players shooting single shots, etc) you should implement a "heated area" timer. If there was shooting at for example Groove street, then your script should remember that for 5 seconds and update the timer when new shooting happens. This way your alert GUI will stay visible.

Good luck with your idea!
