addEvent("overalltext",true) 
addEventHandler("overalltext",getRootElement(),createTheOverallText) 
  

It doesn't remove the text after 5 seconds -.-

I call the function like this :

triggerClientEvent("overalltext",getRootElement(), stringWithAllParameters)

function drawText() 
    local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
msgBack = dxDrawRectangle(0,y/20,x,y/20,tocolor(0,0,0,80)) 
        local txtw = dxGetTextWidth(text, 0.78, "bankgothic") 
        msgText = dxDrawText ( dtext, x/2 - txtw / 2, y/23, x, y, tocolor ( 0,0,0, 255 ), 0.78, "bankgothic" ) 
  end 
  
function createTheOverallText(text) 
    dtext = text 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",getRootElement(), drawText  ) 
    setTimer(removeEventHandler,5000,1,"onClientRender",getRootElement(),drawText) 
end 
addEvent("overalltext",true) 
addEventHandler("overalltext",getRootElement(),createTheOverallText) 
  

setTimer arguments were at wrongplace.Use this one

Thank You

I tried to integrate a function in a function which actually works

But anyway thanks

You are welcome.Yup it works but you put arguments before in setTimer.
