thats original GTA:SA stuff, just learn LUA, and it should be easy.

you will need to make TXD, for those peds ( unless u dont want them )

and use functions like ( these are not all of them )

  
guiCreateLabel -- or use dxDrawText 
setTimer 
  

ect, i dont really know what else, but if u gonna make it with markers, just use

onMarkerHit 

[scratcher911]

use

dxDrawText 
  

onClientRender

[SirniNamaz]

yeah, but i dont know how to make the outline of the mission intro text (http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/19 ... -38-77.jpg)

[manve1]

you can try making a picture .. but dont ask me how to make that it would have no background

[SirniNamaz]

the problem is that i am making the mission maker like dyom, so the mission name would be as the user puts it [not always same]

[manve1]

oh.. hmm.. i don't know the answer. sorry

function dxDrawBorderedText ( text, x, y, w, h, color, scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI ) 
    dxDrawText ( text, x - 1, y - 1, w - 1, h - 1, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, false ) -- black 
    dxDrawText ( text, x + 1, y - 1, w + 1, h - 1, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, false ) 
    dxDrawText ( text, x - 1, y + 1, w - 1, h + 1, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, false ) 
    dxDrawText ( text, x + 1, y + 1, w + 1, h + 1, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, false ) 
    dxDrawText ( text, x - 1, y, w - 1, h, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, false ) 
    dxDrawText ( text, x + 1, y, w + 1, h, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, false ) 
    dxDrawText ( text, x, y - 1, w, h - 1, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, false ) 
    dxDrawText ( text, x, y + 1, w, h + 1, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, false ) 
    dxDrawText ( text, x, y, w, h, color, scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI ) 
end 

That'll draw the text with black borders.

    dxDrawText(varMissionName,0,screenHeight-150,screenWidth,screenHeight,tocolor(255,255,0),1,"pricedown","right","top") 
    fadeCamera(false) 

edit:

yes, varMissionName is declared before the dxDrawText

varMissionName = "Custom Mission" 

[Castillo]

Maybe if you would tell us what is wrong with it?

[SirniNamaz]

i think that the text may be hidden by fadeCamera(false)

anyway no debugscript errors
