nah dawg you gotsa like call dxDrawText every onClientRender call

check dat wiki page for dxDrawText

and then throw dat timer overboard dat make no sense

and to remove that thing use removeEventHandler

[Mark0]

can you explain more

try this

  
function drawText() -- A function to draw the text we want 
    dxDrawText("test", 421, 30, 911, 68, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, "default", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
end 
  
function startText() 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), drawText) 
end 
  
function stopText() 
    removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), drawText)  
end 
  
--THAT_ATM_BUTTON = guiCreateButton( this already exists somewhere probably ) 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", THAT_ATM_BUTTON, startText, false ) 
  

Steps in logical order:

1) Add the event When player click on this, Do enable the handler that gets called everytime a frame is drawn and something should appear on screen

2) Add the event When a frame is drawn, Do your dxDraw functions

3) Done.

4) To remove that text, remove that handler for When a frame... by calling stopText()
