setCameraMatrix

[Stevenn]

Hello, i got a problem with setCameraMatrix.

function respawn ( totalammo, killer, killwerweapon, bodypart, stealth ) 
    setTimer ( setCameraMatrix, 1000, 1, source,  1187, -1324, 14 ) 
    fadeCamera ( source, false, 1, 0, 0, 0 ) 
    setTimer ( fadeCamera, 1500, 1, source, true ) 
    setTimer ( spawnPlayer, 5000, 1, source, 1179, -1325, 15, getElementModel ( source ) ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, respawn ) 

the camera view never changes, it should cancel the cameramatrix and let me play as usual after 5 seconds ( 5000 milliseconds )

[Guest Guest4401]

setCameraMatrix not something that can be cancelled.

Note: Calling this function takes the camera's focus away from the player and sets the camera in a fixed position and rotation. The camera's focus can be brought back to the player using the setCameraTarget function.

thank you, but how can I do this:

addEvent ( "respawn:allsaints", true ) 
function allsaints () 
        dxDrawText("Hello",454.0,425.0,886.0,581.0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),2.0,"pricedown","left","top",false,false,false) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "respawn:allsaints", root, allsaints )

    end 
addEventHandler ( "respawn:allsaints", root, allsaints ) 

Draws a string of text on the screen for one frame. In order for the text to stay visible continuously, you need to call this function with the same parameters on each frame update (see onClientRender)

You must use onClientRender event to show dxText in every frame.

addEvent("respawn:allsaints",true) 
addEventHandler("respawn:allsaints",root, 
    function() 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawTheText) 
    end 
) 
  
function drawTheText() 
    dxDrawText("Hello",454.0,425.0,886.0,581.0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),2.0,"pricedown","left","top",false,false,false) 
end

thanks it works, but how can I destroy it after 5 seconds?

setTimer ( destroyElement, 5000, 1, localPlayer, drawTheText ) 

does not work

[myonlake]

addEvent("respawn:allsaints",true) 
addEventHandler("respawn:allsaints",root, 
    function() 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawTheText) 
    end 
) 
  
function drawTheText() 
    text = dxDrawText("Hello",454.0,425.0,886.0,581.0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),2.0,"pricedown","left","top",false,false,false) 
end 

setTimer ( destroyElement, 5000, 1, text ) 

[Stevenn]

bad arguement @ destroyElement

[Guest Guest4401]

Try this

addEvent("respawn:allsaints",true) 
addEventHandler("respawn:allsaints",root, 
function() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawTheText); 
    setTimer( 
        function() 
            removeEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawTheText) 
        end 
    ,5000,1 
    ) 
end 
); 
  
function drawTheText() 
    dxDrawText("Hello",454.0,425.0,886.0,581.0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),2.0,"pricedown"); 
end;

Because you are not putting it correctly by yourself.

addEvent("respawn:allsaints",true) 
addEventHandler("respawn:allsaints",root, 
    function() 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawTheText) 
    end 
) 
  
function drawTheText() 
    text = dxDrawText("Hello",454.0,425.0,886.0,581.0,tocolor(255,255,255,255),2.0,"pricedown","left","top",false,false,false) 
    setTimer ( destroyElement, 5000, 1, text ) 
end 
  

I suggest you to start learning lua first, you could have fixed this yourself. There are errors, so try to fix it yourself now.

oh my god

setTimer into onClientRender event?

also dxDrawText return bool NOT element.

I suggest you to start learning lua first << lol

I am not helping those who cannot have no effort to take a look into what is in the script, even.
