Image effect

[Carlossg]

Hello.

I'm making a hunter reached script,I want to show on screen an image whit "Hunter Alert!" and I want to do this whit effects right to left.

I do not know if I explain, example.You get hunter and show on screen "Hunter Alert!" and text go to left and next disappear

You need to get race gamemode "client_anim.lua" script.

For further info, check: viewtopic.php?f=108&t=24262&start=30#p382009

There's ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to create an image just for displaying text, you can use DirectX text and BankGothic font for a good-looking feature

Don't work

My file hunteralert:

  
function someoneReachedHunter(number, sort, model) 
    if sort == "vehiclechange" and model == 425 then 
        outputChatBox ( getPlayerName(source).." #00ff00has gotten the hunter! Run!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
        local label = guiCreateLabel(10, 100, 150, 20, 'Hunter reached Run!', false) 
      Animation.createAndPlay(label, Animation.presets.guiMove(100, 200, 2000)) 
      Animation.createAndPlay(label, Animation.presets.guiFadeIn(2000)) 
    removeEventHandler("onPlayerPickUpRacePickup",getRootElement(),someoneReachedHunter) -- NOTE THIS LINE THAT REMOVES THE EVENT HANDLER! 
    end 
end 
  
addEvent("onPlayerPickUpRacePickup",true) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerPickUpRacePickup",getRootElement(),someoneReachedHunter) 
  
  

And my meta

<meta> 
    <info name="Hunter alert" description="hunter alert" author="~KaRLoS~" type="script" version="1.0"/> 
  
    <script src="hunteralert.lua" type="server"/> 
    <script src="client_anim.lua" type="client"/> 
     
</meta>

Of course it won't work, because you're creating GUI elements in a SERVER side script, GUI is ONLY client side.

-- server side:

function someoneReachedHunter(number, sort, model) 
    if sort == "vehiclechange" and model == 425 then 
        outputChatBox ( getPlayerName(source).." #00ff00has gotten the hunter! Run!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
        triggerClientEvent("createHunterAlert",getRootElement()) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onPlayerPickUpRacePickup",true) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerPickUpRacePickup",getRootElement(),someoneReachedHunter) 

-- client side:

addEvent("createHunterAlert",true) 
addEventHandler("createHunterAlert",root, 
function () 
       if isElement(label) then destroyElement(label) end 
       local label = guiCreateLabel(10, 100, 150, 20, 'Hunter reached Run!', false) 
       Animation.createAndPlay(label, Animation.presets.guiMove(100, 200, 2000)) 
       Animation.createAndPlay(label, Animation.presets.guiFadeIn(2000)) 
end) 

-- meta.xml:

    "Hunter alert" description="hunter alert" author="~KaRLoS~" type="script" version="1.0"/>

[Castillo]

If you want to destroy the label after some time, you must use

destroyElement

You can't resize a GUI label, but you can change it's font and color using:

guiSetFont and guiLabelSetColor

And center on screen for all resolutions?

Remove "bool" and "element", you don't need it.

You commited many mistakes.

And also you may want to do something with the one who reached hunter, right?

These are corrected codes with an argument for "createHunterAlert" to interact with the player who reached hunter.

hunteralert_client:

  
    addEvent("createHunterAlert",true) 
    addEventHandler("createHunterAlert",root, 
    function ( hunterPlayer ) --hunterPlayer is a player element 
           if isElement ( label ) then destroyElement ( label ) end 
           local label = guiCreateLabel(10, 100, 150, 20, 'Hunter reached Run!', false) 
           guiLabelSetColor ( label, 255, 0, 0 ) 
           guiLabelSetHorizontalAlign ( label, "center" ) 
           guiLabelSetVerticalAlign ( label, "center" ) 
           guiSetFont ( label, "sa-ghotic" ) 
           Animation.createAndPlay ( label, Animation.presets.guiMove ( 100, 200, 2000 ) ) 
           Animation.createAndPlay ( label, Animation.presets.guiFadeIn ( 2000 ) ) 
    end) 
  
  
  

hunteralert:

     
    function someoneReachedHunter(number, sort, model) 
        if sort == "vehiclechange" and model == 425 then 
            outputChatBox ( getPlayerName(source).." #FF0000has gotten the hunter! Run!", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
            triggerClientEvent("createHunterAlert",getRootElement(), source) 
        end 
    end 
    addEvent("onPlayerPickUpRacePickup",true) 
    addEventHandler("onPlayerPickUpRacePickup",getRootElement(),someoneReachedHunter)
