Error/infowindow-resource

[Puma]

Something small. I always put the custom errorwindows in my scripts, but it's far easier to have a general resource that provides a function and I thought that there could be people out there who could make good use of it, so here it is.

You can set the colors for both error- and infowindow of the top-text, general text, top-background and text-background in its settings (rgb and alpha for backgrounds) and the window's size depends on the text that's put into it. There's an option to disable the window with a click anywhere on the screen or let it disappear after a set time-interval. Plenty of options, so it suits everything.

Example:

Wiki-page:

Hope it'll be useful.

Edit: Updated it, added info-window.

Small update. Added infowindow, re-uploaded it and also updated the wiki-page. On the screenshot you can see the info-window and how it looks when you change the colors. You can set the colors for info- and errorwindow each.

dxDrawText ( topText, topX, topY, topX+winW, topY+topH, toptc, topScale, topFont, "center", "bottom", false, false, true ) 
        local x, y = topX+textBorder, topY+topH+textBorder 
        for i, string in pairs ( textTable ) do 
            dxDrawText ( string, x, y, x+winW-2*textBorder, y+lineHeight, tc, textScale, textFont, textAlignX, "bottom", false, false, true ) 
            y = y + lineHeight + lineSpaceY 
        end 
         

just i change the alignY dont dont work

if u can helpme please

You need to alter line 118, change 'windowRelativeY'. The two numbers (0.5, 0.5) define the relative position of the window on the screen, the second one is the Y.
