What do I need for hud.

[IIYAMA]

Hey, I got a question:

What is onClientRender ?

= when you spawn you load objects?

or

= on join server and downloading scripts?

I am using a script that dissable the normal gta hud...

but when you get killed, the normal gta san hud come back somehow..

Because I have a hud and it have sometimes a bug. You see two hud's when you die.

I use onGameModeStart, ongameModeMapStart and onPlayerJoin to dissable the gta san hud.

Do I need on ClientRender to??

Gamemode: Stealth.

pls tell me what I need.

I not understand you.

You need draw hud?

[Agon]

He draws hud but when you die, 2 hud appears (one of them is gta's original hud and the other is his hud i think.)

Use onPlayerWasted or create a timer to disable hud.

Use onPlayerWasted or create a timer to disable hud.

Maybe onPlayerSpawn and timer.. because there is the problem.

[drk]

Why use the two options? Only use a timer...

setTimer( 
  function() 
       showPlayerHudComponent('all',false) 
  end 
end,500,0) 

[IIYAMA]

that makes lagg..

[drk]

Not for me. And my computer is a shit..

But you can use onPlayerWasted or onPlayerSpawn.

onPlayerWasted

addEventHandler('onPlayerWasted',root, 
 function() 
       showPlayerHudComponent('all',false) 
end) 

For onPlayerSpawn, the same, only change event name.

[Castillo]

You forgot about 'source'.

addEventHandler('onPlayerWasted',root, 
 function() 
       showPlayerHudComponent(source,'all',false) 
end)

My bad ~~

[IIYAMA]

but what is: onClientRender ??

[Castillo]

onClientRender is a event handler.

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnClientRender

[IIYAMA]

yes I know... But I don't understand the meaning of this:

This event is triggered every time GTA renders a new frame. It is required for the DirectX drawing functions, and also useful for other clientside operations that have to be applied repeatedly with very short time differences between them.

So If I play my mta at 70 frames, will this script activated every 70 times in a frame? It sounds terible laggy...

[drk]

It not lags the game.. Not for me.

[karlis]

well, it is kind of resource intensive, but not very laggy.

after all there's thousands calculations to be done for each frame.

you can take look at my ivhud how things are done, its kind of hard to read though.

[IIYAMA]

yes I saw the resource..

But I want the lagg so low as possible. So my choose is:

OnClientPlayerSpawn, "gamemode" and "map"

[karlis]

its impossible that way, everything has to be drawn onClientRender.That is, unless you use GUI, but they still are drawn same way, just you don't see that.

[IIYAMA]

yes that is right, but this is about deactivate the gta san hud.

It is not about showing up the GCC hud

GCC = clan

[karlis]

ah

then just set a timer on a resource start to remove the hud again, AND TIMERS ARE NOT LAGGING, 1 timer wont change anything performance wise.

alternatively in next mta versions you will be able to just set event priority to low without timer.

[IIYAMA]

timer don't lagg, but I think what I did is also good.

But maybe you know the game age of empire 3?

Well I made a map with arround 1200 scripts and it is crashing in mutiplayer

I love the game but I hate the out of sync

[karlis]

well just hide it on timer after resource start cant get any more optimized atm.

[IIYAMA]

Well onclient render does lagg a little. I can feel it, when my hud is running.

I have still the max frames, but the smooth movements are gone -_-'

[Evil-Cod3r]
