DxDrawText Join

[Reflex#]

Hey all.

I want to create dxDrawtText join.

But I think that..what I make is not true..

Help me guys

          g_Root = getRootElement() 
          
        addEventHandler('onPlayerJoin',g_Root, 
        function () 
           dxDrawText(Server : ' .. getPlayerName(source) .. ' has joined the game ,3,0,10,10,tocolor(0,0,0,200),0.3,"default") 
  
            end 
        )

      g_Root = getRootElement() 
          
        addEventHandler('onPlayerJoin',g_Root, 
        function () 
           dxDrawText('Server : ' .. getPlayerName(source) .. ' has joined the game ',3,0,10,10,tocolor(0,0,0,200),0.3,"default") 
  
            end 
        )

onPlayerJoin is a server sided event, and dxDrawText must use "onClientRender" event.

[iSpark]

addEvent('onJoin',

)

[Anderl]

onPlayerJoin is a server sided event, and dxDrawText must use "onClientRender" event.

And event is also server-side, but dxDrawText is client-side.

Client-side:

__dxDrawText     = dxDrawText 
local _aDraws    = { } 
  
function dxDrawText( ... ) 
    if( ... ) then 
        _aDraws[{ ... }] = true 
        return true 
    end 
    return false 
end 
  
addEventHandler( 'onClientRender', root, 
    function( ) 
        for arg,v in pairs( _aDraws ) do 
            while true do 
                if( arg[1] == localPlayer ) then 
                    __dxDrawText(  
                        #arg => 2 and arg[2] or false, 
                        #arg => 3 and arg[3] or false, 
                        #arg => 4 and arg[4] or false, 
                        #arg => 5 and arg[5] or false, 
                        #arg => 6 and arg[6] or false, 
                        #arg => 7 and arg[7] or false, 
                        #arg => 8 and arg[8] or false, 
                        #arg => 9 and arg[9] or false, 
                        #arg => 10 and arg[10] or false, 
                        #arg => 11 and arg[11] or false, 
                        #arg => 12 and arg[12] or false, 
                        #arg => 13 and arg[13] or false, 
                        #arg => 14 and arg[14] or false, 
                        #arg => 15 and arg[15] or false, 
                        #arg => 16 and arg[16] or false; 
                    ) 
                end 
            break 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
-- 
  
addEventHandler( 'onPlayerJoin', root, 
    function( ) 
        dxDrawText( root, 'Server: ' .. getPlayerName( source ) .. ' has joined the game!', 3, 0, 10, 10, tocolor( 0, 0, 0, 200 ), 0.3, 'default' ) 
    end 
) 

Server-side:

addEventHandler( 'onPlayerJoin', root, 
    function( ) 
        triggerClientEvent( root, 'onPlayerJoin', source ) 
    end 
) 

Not tested.

What's stopping you from using onClientPlayerJoin?

[Castillo]

I don't really understand why you had to do all that Anderl .

local playerJoined 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerJoin", root, 
    function ( ) 
        if ( isTimer ( removeTimer ) ) then 
            killTimer ( removeTimer ) 
        end 
        removeEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, drawJoinMessage ) 
        playerJoined = source 
        addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, drawJoinMessage ) 
        removeTimer = setTimer ( 
            function ( ) 
                removeEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, drawJoinMessage ) 
                playerJoined = nil 
            end 
            ,4000, 1 
        ) 
    end 
) 
  
function drawJoinMessage ( ) 
    if ( playerJoined and isElement ( playerJoined ) ) then 
        dxDrawText ( "Server: ".. getPlayerName ( playerJoined ) .." has joined the game", 3, 0, 10, 10, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 200 ), 0.3, "default" ) 
    end 
end

                playerJoined = nil 
            end 
            ,4000, 1 
        ) 
    end 
) 
  
function drawJoinMessage ( ) 
    if ( playerJoined and isElement ( playerJoined ) ) then 
        dxDrawText ( "Server: ".. getPlayerName ( playerJoined ) .." has joined the game", 3, 0, 10, 10, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 200 ), 0.3, "default" ) 
    end 
end 

Because it will be easier than making lots of functions for different texts or declaring lots of variables.

is the problem solved?
