To drawe Text to all players when I Command,

but don t work!

Pls fix that and thx

client-side:

function onCommand() 
  
function draw () 
  
sWidth, sHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
        find = "The Word: Welcome!" 
dxDrawText(tostring (find),sWidth-700,sHeight-200,sWidth-350,sHeight-100,tocolor(255,255,0),1.0,"bankgothic","right","top",false,false,false) -- Money DX text 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), draw) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "drawWel",onCommand) 

[Smart.]

Are you trying to draw a dxtext when you enter the command "drawWel" or what the hell?

local sWidth,sHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
local find = "The Word: Welcome!" 
  
function drawDXText ( command ) 
    dxDrawText(find,sWidth-700,sHeight-200,sWidth-350,sHeight-100,tocolor(255,255,0),1.0,"bankgothic","right","top",false,false,false) 
end 
  
addCommandHandler ( "drawWel",  
    function() 
        addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, drawDXText ) 
    end 
)

In command"drawWel" yes

-- client side:

local sWidth,sHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
local find = "The Word: Welcome!" 
  
function drawDXText ( ) 
    dxDrawText ( find, sWidth - 700, sHeight - 200, sWidth - 350, sHeight - 100, tocolor ( 255, 255, 0 ), 1.0, "bankgothic", "right", "top", false, false, false ) 
end 
  
addEvent ( "drawTheText", true ) 
addEventHandler ( "drawTheText", root, 
    function ( ) 
        addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, drawDXText ) 
    end 
) 

-- server side:

addCommandHandler ( "drawWel", 
    function ( ) 
        for index, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
            triggerClientEvent ( player, "drawTheText", player ) 
        end 
    end 
)

In triggerClientEvent, where recipient - root element, it's better with loop,in this case the function only finds the players in the element tree. But if you use loop then it creates additional packet in each request. Also if root element - source in trigger (Client/Server) Event this is bad. MTA loops all the elements in the element tree and attaches each handler to it for the event.

Yeah, I supposed someone was going to reply about that .

Anyway, getRootElement ( ) will trigger for everything, won't it? player, resources, vehicles?

[qaisjp]

you cant trigger events on elements other than players, mta sorts that out for you

[Kenix]

addCommandHandler ( "drawWel", 
    function ( uPlayer ) 
        triggerClientEvent ( root, "drawTheText", uPlayer ) 
    end 
) 

Better way.
