[Help]How to make real time dx text

[Xierra]

Hi guys!

I can create a DX text, but I want to know how to make Real time with DX text, and changes the text everytime regarding to time.

You guys have any idea how to make it?

explain it more?

textToShow = ""
function showTextDx()
dxDrawText(textToShow, 0, 70/100*height, width, 0, tocolor(255, 30, 30, 255), 1.5, "default-bold", "center", "top", false, false, false)
end
addEventHandler("onClientFrame", getRootElement(), showTextDx)
 
setTimer(function()
--textToShow = tostring(math.random(1,666))
time = getRealTime()
   hours = time.hour
   minutes = time.minute
   textToShow = hours..':'..minutes
end, 500)

something like that?

this is completly unuseful, just wanted to show you what i mean

time = getRealTime()
hours = time.hour
minutes = time.minute

Now what about vehicle speed?

getting vehicle speed every frame, then displaying it.

well, i can try to explain...

function getspeed(player,mph)
  unit = mph and 100 or 160.9 --if mph argument set to true then use mph convertion, else use kph
  vx,vy,vz = getElementVelocity( getPedOccupiedVehicle( player ) or player )  --not sure, will getting speed of player work?
return math.floor( ( vx ^ 2 + vy ^ 2 + vz ^ 2 ) ^ 0.5 * unit + 0.5 )  --it could be shorter without rounding
end
