Problem with bind

[benwilkins]

  
  
  
function showplat ( command ) 
if getKeyState("p") then 
    if isPedInVehicle(localPlayer) then 
     
         local localPlayerOccupiedVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( getLocalPlayer() ) 
         local plateText = getVehiclePlateText ( localPlayerOccupiedVehicle ) 
         local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayerOccupiedVehicle) 
             
             
                local tx, ty = getScreenFromWorldPosition(x, y, z, 5000, false) 
                 
             
        dxDrawText(plateText, tx, ty, tx, ty+10, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 200), 1, "bankgothic", "center", "center") 
             
end 
end 
end 
  
  
bindKey ( "p", "down", showplat )  

I am testing something out, and I am trying to make it so when I hole P then the text will appear above the car, but when I press P, it appears and then disappears straight away.

Thanks!

isHandler = nil 
  
function showplat (  ) 
    if isPedInVehicle(localPlayer) and getKeyState ("p") == true then 
        if isHandler == true then return end 
        addEventHandler('onClientRender',root,Draw) 
        isHandler = true 
    end 
end 
bindKey ( "p", "down", showplat )  
  
function Draw (  ) 
          if not isPedInVehicle ( localPlayer ) then return end 
         local localPlayerOccupiedVehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( getLocalPlayer() ) 
         local plateText = getVehiclePlateText ( localPlayerOccupiedVehicle ) 
         local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayerOccupiedVehicle)    
         local tx, ty = getScreenFromWorldPosition(x, y, z, 5000, false) 
        dxDrawText(tostring(plateText), tx, ty, tx, ty+10, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 200), 1, "bankgothic", "center", "center") 
end 

You have to use a render event to draw dx functions try this and tell me.

Thanks for the quick reply!

But it just stays there now, when I release the button, it doesn't disapper.

Copy it again and make sure you are in a vehicle.

Still displays after I let go of "P".

When I press in P, the text should display, and when I let go of P, the text should be removed.

Also, there is no errors in the debug

[iPrestege]

Are you sure it's a client side | = ?

[benwilkins]

Yeah, just checked
