KillMessages [ HELP ]

[Dinossauro]

Hello friends,

I have a server and wanted to put the race messagekill on the left side, and also, whenever someone dies, the player's name appeared with the color he uses.

Thank you.

What you should do? Read this all, if you don't understand something, just leave it to later.

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

My advices:

- don't ever give up

- use wikipedia and google for definitions

- write your own examples

- use wiki https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/

- use notepad++

- if you want to take something from other res to your res read all lines slowly, if you don't understand function watch wiki.

IN LUA - CONSOLE

  
function myfirstfunction() 
    print("Hello World") 
end 
  

IN MTA

  
function myfirstfunction() 
    outputChatBox("Hello World") 
end 
addEventHandler(.... 
  

if you have problem with your script use [lua] tags

Luckily i made this last night for my K@N servers.

Replace killmessages/utils/textlib.lua:

It'll not work, the colorCoded argument is available on MTA 1.3.1.

[codeluaeveryday]

Heres were the Moderator is wrong. Heres where you fail to read: Min version: 1.3.0-9.03986. Works perfectly on my server and I know many other scripters which are also using this. . I was told you weren't as pro as they said.

[Castillo]

I didn't fail to read, I know about the min version attribute. And please get a better attitude if you don't want to get in trouble.

[codeluaeveryday]

Sorry, I just thought you wanted to know this is working as of the current server release. I am running it and my players see it good too. My code still will work.

[arezu]

It'll not work, the colorCoded argument is available on MTA 1.3.1.

I dont have 1.3.1 but it works for me. I only downloaded from MTA from front page like 3 weeks ago.

Unless the one on front page is 1.3.1 but nobody has said so.

[Castillo]

Well, I cannot be right at everything, can I? he has no right to insult me because of a SIMPLE mistake.

[codeluaeveryday]

All right all right, I am sorry, I havent been myself lately.

[Dinossauro]

As I put the killmessages the left? I downloaded it and is on the right, but I wanted the left.

please help me!
