Help on Notification Bar

[xXMADEXx]

Hey guys, i got the notification bar from GUI-editor (thank you, Remp.) But, when i tried to use it, no luck. Any probs seen below, please comment.

gColours = { 
    primary = {255, 69, 59, 255}, 
    secondary = {255, 118, 46, 255}, 
    tertiary = {232, 42, 104, 255}, 
    defaultLabel = {255, 255, 255}, 
    grey = {120, 120, 120}, 
} 
ContextBar = { 
    height = 28, 
    speed = 20, 
    step = 2, 
    life = 8000, 
    update = 0, 
    textColour = {unpack(gColours.primary)}, 
    lineColour = {0, 0, 0}, 
    entries = {} 
} 
function ContextBar.add(text) 
    if not gEnabled then 
        return 
    end 
     
    local y = gScreen.y - ContextBar.height 
     
    if #ContextBar.entries > 0 then 
        if ContextBar.entries[#ContextBar.entries].text == text then 
            return 
        end 
         
        y = ContextBar.entries[#ContextBar.entries].y - ContextBar.height 
    end 
     
    local pixelsPerSecond = (1000 / ContextBar.speed) * ContextBar.step 
    local alphaStep = (gScreen.y - y - ContextBar.height) / pixelsPerSecond

        text = text,  
        creation = getTickCount(), 
        y = y,

        alphaStep = alphaStep == 0 and 0.05 or (1 / ((alphaStep * 1000) / ContextBar.speed)),

Do you have permission to use that code?

[AJXB]

Yes, Castillo, We have.

[Castillo]

Ok, I asked to Remp and he says that he gave permission, so I've fixed the code ( you had missing stuff, plus "test" command is built-in MTA, so I renamed it to "test2" ).

[AJXB]

Thank you, A question about another script, How is getPlayerAccount returns nil value?

[Castillo]

You are using it client side?

[AJXB]

yes?

[Castillo]

All account functions are server side only.

[AJXB]

thank you.

[AJXB]

Castillo, this script do outputChatBox too

[Castillo]

Of what script are you talking about?

[AJXB]

this, the one you fixed, it output to the message box, and to chat box

[Castillo]

Oh, yeah, I forgot to remove it, remove this line:

outputChatBox ( ContextBar.entries[#ContextBar.entries].text ) 

[AJXB]

thanks

[Castillo]

You're welcome.
