import Font to Race

[brad]

hi friends want to know how to import a source to a normal text and I saw race gamemode compare and study but is not a function I would like for example the name or map timeelft thanx

[JR10]

Do you mean importing a custom font?

dxCreateFont 
guiCreateFont 

??

[brad]

yeah ,but for un drawText default of race

[Castillo]

What do you mean? if you want to create a new font and use it, just create it and change the font to yours in the dxDrawText function.

[brad]

An example would be: I want to change the source of drawText showing the map name in the pro race gamemode want to know how the place you first imported to the name of his source to drawText showing the map name as if he brought the mta 1.1 defautl

There's an example in here: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/DxCreateFont

Just read it, it's already well explained.

local currentMap = exports.mapmanager:getRunningGamemodeMap() 
local mapname = getResourceInfo(currentMap, "name") or getResourceName(currentMap) 

[brad]

thx bandi94 and catillo thx much : D

[Castillo]

You welcome.

P.S: Bandi, getResourceInfo is server only.

[bandi94]

i know he will trigger it from server to client's

[brad]

but where I place that sends me the black screen?

[bandi94]

I do not understand

[brad]

where in the race_client put those 2 lines?

[bandi94]

server side

function send() 
local currentMap = exports.mapmanager:getRunningGamemodeMap() 
local mapname = getResourceInfo(currentMap, "name") or getResourceName(currentMap) 
 triggerClientEvent ( "name", getRootElement(), name ) 
end 
addEvent("onMapStart",true) 
addEventHandler("onMapStart",getRootElement(),send) 

client side

local gui =guiCreateLabel( float x, float y, float width, float height, "", true) --x,y,width and height are numbers between 0-1 
function draw(name) 
guiSetText(gui,name) 
end 
addEvent("name",true) 
addEventHandler("name",getRootElement(),draw) 

[brad]
