text inside a label moves from right to left?

[eAi]

How about making this into a resource? It could be quite useful for server admins in general

Now i have a another question

I tried now very long with the differents way to get the script restarts after a time.

Because i want that the random text comes from time to time...

Here is one from many ways i tried:

... 
  
setTimer ( 
    function stufftest() 
     ... 
     ... 
    end 
, 120000, 0) 
  
... 

But it don´t work, i still get this error: http://b.imagehost.org/0436/hmmm.png

Also i don´t know that the script loads a new node from the xml file when a timer launch them again?

Can anybody help me?

sorry xetaquake this is off topic but do you have msn ?

also about the showing every other time, write to xml howmany times a player has opend the gui and on the 3rd one show the immage, that way when the gui is open the other 2 times it wont show and then re-write in the xml "0" u get me ? basically check the xml for the players name and if it == 3 then show the scrolling lable else dont show it and add 1 to whats in the xml

No i don´t have msn

Its not possibly for a player to show or hide the window (its a static little window), i searching for a way to reload the script every 2 minutes, so it will be a new random text every 2 minutes.

[[UVA]Bart]

stick a timer on the function that makes the sliding text

just call that function every 2 mins

stufftest() is just an example to show you what to do. You can show or hide the window using guiSetVisible func. You can change its text too, using guiSetText func.

[[UVA]Bart]

setTimer (stufftest(), 120000, 0) 
  
function stufftest() 
outputChatBox("stuff test function") 
end 
  

[50p]

setTimer (stufftest(), 120000, 0) 
  
function stufftest() 
outputChatBox("stuff test function") 
end 
  

You don't use brackets when you call a function using timer.:

setTimer (stufftest, 120000, 0) 
  
function stufftest() 
outputChatBox("stuff test function") 
end

I already tried it to add the function name directly in the setTimer, but then i get everytime a "bad argument @ setTimer" error.

So i learned it to copy the complete function in a seTimer...but this don´t work too on my script (but on all others)

Is there any eventHandlers to restart the script? I was searching for client-side Events in the wiki, but found nothing

well spotted 50p lol cause a copied the function name must a copied brackets too lol

Timers are useful and you must know how to use it. As Lua is typeless language you must check if variable/param is that what it should be. First, scripts gets executed from top to the bottom, from left to right. In the example above you call a function that does not exist at the time you call it. It will also happen if you addEvent AFTER you attach a function to it.

Thanks 50p for the information for lua now i getting it working =)
