scoreboard flag img

[Blaawee]

hi guys i found an old scoreboard and there was this line :

elseif column.name == "countryCode" then 
                                if content ~= "N/A" then 
                                    local countryImage = "flags/"..string.lower(content)..".png" 
                                    dxDrawImage(topX+theX, y+s(1)-2, 16, 16, countryImage,0,0,0,tocolor( 255,255,255,255 ), true) 
                                end 

all i wana to do to make it work , what is the right to do

Hi

It's simple...

When you set the data in the scoreboard, the column name must be "countryCode" per example.

And it must be a number (0-9). When the player press in tab, the scoreboard go search in his files the pic "flags/(0-9).png".

Example ?

  
exports.scoreboard:addScoreboardColumn("countryCode", getRootElement(), 1, 0.2) 
-- Arguments: 1th is the column name, 2nd is getRootElement(), 3rd is the value, 4th is the size 
  

Good luck, FatalTerror

Edit: the img must be in scoreboard resource

[Blaawee]

you mean like this :

exports.scoreboard:addScoreboardColumn("countryCode", getRootElement(), 16, 16) 

the img already in the scoreboard with size 16×16

add this on line 705 (maybe you need to ad somewhere els bk your scoreboard is difrent)

elseif column.name == "Pic" then 
  dxDrawImage( topX+theX, y+s(1), 16, 11, content, 0, 0, 0, cWhite, drawOverGUI ) 

and set the flag like this notice that admin panel recognize some countryes for what he don't have flag's so you can put a check function to check if is a flag or not else if a country is whitout flag you will be spamed in debugscript whit dxDrawImage can't load file path

local flag = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry ( source ) 
if flag then 
setElementData(source,"Pic",":admin/client/images/flags/"..flag..".png") 
end 
  

[Blaawee]

what if his country flag not in the admin panel ?

[FatalTerror]

You add an "else" and set a Peace Flag

[bandi94]

it will set on ElementData a file (image) what dosen't exist and the dxDrawImage (scoreboard) will spam in debugscript 3 "dxDrawImage can't load file path" that's all

use this https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/FileExists

i got :

failed to call "admin:getPlayerCountry [srting "?"]

what if i make it :

call(getResourceFromName("admin"), "getPlayerCountry", source) 

samething ><

[bandi94]

local flag = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry ( source )

"source" must be a player ther is source bk i use it whit "onPlayerJoin" you can change source whit player or whaat you use ...

[bandi94]

No Problem.

Also you can use : exports.scoreboard:addScoreboardColumn('Home',columnPosition ,columnSize)

For names u can made the table with :

IT = "Italy"

MX = "Mexico"

. . .etc

and call the name country with event onPlayerJoin type

outputChatBox  
getPlayerName(source) 
+ name table

On my server it isn't working.. Why?

[GTX]

On my server it isn't working.. Why?

Did you add the script to ACL?

[Mefisto_PL]

Yup.

[GTX]

Did you check debug?

[Mefisto_PL]

Yes, any errors and warnings.

[GTX]

You changed the script? If yes, show it.

Are you running the script on a local server?

[Mefisto_PL]

I don't change and yes. On hamachi.

[GTX]

Well, if is the server local I think the script can't get the country somehow, I can't explain

[Mefisto_PL]

Ehh.. So I can't do anything to fix that?
