Creating marker

[isa_Khamdan]

Can someone just do it for me I tried many times and I still didn't get how to do it just add the draw text on screen in the script when you get freeze and another time when you get unfreeze that's all I want

[iMr.3a[Z]eF]

As i always says

use this resource GUIEditor

[isa_Khamdan]

I tried but I still don't get it can someone just fix this little code for me?

it won't take long :c

[Castillo]

Maybe because you aren't thinking at all, it's not a hard script, and on the wiki, there are examples about triggering.

[isa_Khamdan]

I tried this but it's not working can you tell me what is the problem now?

*Client Side

local function drawMessage ()  
  
      local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize (); 
  
      dxDrawText ("YOU ARE NOW FROZEN", screenWidth - 50, screenHeight); 
  
end; 
  
  
  
addEvent ("onPlayerFrozen", true); 
  
addEvent ("onPlayerUnfrozen", true);  
  
  
  
addEventHandler ("onPlayerFrozen", getRootElement (), 
  
        function ()  
  
              addEventHandler ("onClientRender", getRootElement (), drawMessage); 
  
        end); 
  
  
  
addEventHandler ("onPlayerUnfrozen", getRootElement (), 
  
       function ()  
  
  
             removeEventHandler ("onClientRender", getRootElement (), drawMessage); 
  
       end); 

*Server Side

  
addEventHandler ( "onMarkerHit", createMarker ( 1791.537, 656.511, 17.626, 'cylinder', 2.0, 255, 0, 0, 150 ) , 
  
    function ( hitElement, matchingDimension ) 
  
  
       if getElementType (hitElement) ~= "player" then return; end;  
  
        
  
        if ( getElementType ( hitElement ) == "vehicle" ) then 
  
     
  
            setElementFrozen ( hitElement, true ) 
  
  
            triggerClientEvent (hitElement, "onPlayerFrozen", getRootElement ());  
  
            setTimer (  
  
                  function (thePlayer)  
  
  
                        triggerClientEvent (thePlayer, "onPlayerUnfrozen", getRootElement ()); 
  
  
                        setElementFrozen (thePlayer, false); 
  
                  end, 
  
                  5000, 1, hitElement); 
  
        end 
  
    end 
  
); 

Edit : I used Debugscript 3 to check for errors but there are no errors at all and the marker still not showing so I can test it

[isa_Khamdan]

Now the Timer doesn't work + text now showing?

Edit: that's the meta.xml I am using

    
        "CP" author="N" type="script" version="1.0" /> 
        

[Castillo]

Copy both again.

[isa_Khamdan]

Copy both again.

Works now but it only show text when you get freeze?

There is no Unfreeze text

[Castillo]

Well, there's no point on showing a text for unfreezing, but you can edit it if you want.

Well, there's no point on showing a text for unfreezing, but you can edit it if you want.

Ok now I made it and it's working fine but the unfreeze message never disappear?

[isa_Khamdan]

Thanks a lot for everything but can you tell me how can I set the font size / Color?

[Castillo]

Read all the arguments of dxDrawText at the wiki page.

[isa_Khamdan]

ok I added this and it worked how can I make it in the center of the screen?

    dxDrawText ( msg, 20, screenHeight - 41, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1.02, "pricedown" ) 

[Castillo]

Change the position.

[isa_Khamdan]

Change the position.

No I want it in the center in all screen resolutions

[Castillo]

dxDrawText ( msg, 20, screenHeight, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1.02, "pricedown", "center", "center" ) 

[isa_Khamdan]

dxDrawText ( msg, 20, screenHeight, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1.02, "pricedown", "center", "center" ) 

it's on the center of the width only?

[IIYAMA]

dxDrawText ( msg,0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1.02, "pricedown", "center", "center" ) 
  

dxDrawText ( msg,0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1.02, "pricedown", "center", "center" )

The start position of the boundingbox is x=0 y=0

The end position is the max size of your screen: screenWidth, screenHeight

The center is between the start and the end.
