Help on DirectX Drawing - SOLVED, CLOSE PLEASE

[12p]

hello there, it's me again. I just want to know, there is some way to change a "DirectX" text? I want to do some kind of cutscene, and use DirectX as the storyteller. But I dunno if there is some way to change its text, or just use another DirectX text...

whaaat?

i dont know what you mean.

maybe attach some code to your post?

[12p]

No code. Just a little simple question:

THERE IS SOME WAY TO EDIT THE DIRECTX TEXT? HOW?

[dzek (varez)]

I dont know HOW and WHAT are you trying to change?

You are talking about dxDrawText? Then notice - it's first argument is string with text to display. What is so hard?

[12p]

yes. dxDrawText is a DX Text. But I want to show it, then fade it out, change its text content, and fade it in. There is some way to change the text content of a DX Text?

[dzek (varez)]

  
mytext = "first text" 
alpha=255 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), function() 
if (alpha>0) then alpha=alpha-1 end 
dxDrawText(mytext, 0, 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,alpha)) 
end) 
setTimer(function() 
mytext = "2nd text" 
end, 1000, 1) 
  

now do whatever you want with it.
