GUI help

[mint3d]

So i want this to close after a time of 1 min cant get it to work so here it is

function drawStuff() 
    dxDrawRectangle ( x/3.8, y/3.8, x/2.02, y/2, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) )  
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.5, y/3.6, x, y, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" ) . 
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.48, y/3.58, x, y, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" )  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, drawStuff)

Use setTimer and removeEventHandler.

[mint3d]

function drawStuff() 
    dxDrawRectangle ( x/3.8, y/3.8, x/2.02, y/2, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) )  
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.5, y/3.6, x, y, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" )  
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.48, y/3.58, x, y, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" ) 
end 
  
function closedrawstuff () 
    guiSetVisible (drawstuff, false) 
end 
  
local seconds = 50 
setTimer ( closedrawstuff, ( seconds * 100 ), 1 ) 
  

Thats not right is it?

You want to set the drawstuff gui invisible, but you have no gui. Solidsnake gave you a function ( removeEventHandler ) and use it like this:

function drawStuff() 
    dxDrawRectangle ( x/3.8, y/3.8, x/2.02, y/2, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) ) 
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.5, y/3.6, x, y, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" ) 
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.48, y/3.58, x, y, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler('onClientRender', getRootElement(), drawStuff) 
  
local seconds = 50 
  
setTimer ( function() removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), drawStuff) end, ( seconds * 100 ), 1 ) 

OR

function drawStuff() 
    dxDrawRectangle ( x/3.8, y/3.8, x/2.02, y/2, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) ) 
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.5, y/3.6, x, y, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" ) 
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.48, y/3.58, x, y, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler('onClientRender', getRootElement(), drawStuff) 
  
function closedrawstuff() 
    removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), drawStuff)  
end 
     
local seconds = 50 
     
setTimer ( closedrawstuff, ( seconds * 100 ), 1 ) 

They're the same thing, but the second one is easier

Thanks didn't see that and I don't see anything

I can't understand you. Is it not working, is that what you mean by "I don't see anything"

[mint3d]

Ye The dx Doesn't load

[pa3ck]

Any errors in /debugscript 3?

[mint3d]

Nope

[pa3ck]

Can you show me the whole script?

[mint3d]

Thats is it

[pa3ck]

Okay, than you have to define the following variables:

x, y, and playerName

as none of them is defined anywhere. ( Also, you SHOULD get errors in debugscript 3 with that code )

How do i do that?

[pa3ck]

local playerName = getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer()) 

For x and y actually you can just sub in the numbers like so:

dxDrawRectangle ( x/3.8, y/3.8, x/2.02, y/2, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) )  --You had it like this 
  
dxDrawRectangle ( posX, posY, sizeX, sizeY, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) ) -- You need it like this 

Same for the dxDrawText's

[mint3d]

right ok

[mint3d]

local x,y = guiGetScreenSize()  
local playerName = getPlayerName ( localPlayer )   
  
  
function drawStuff() 
    dxDrawRectangle ( x/3.8, y/3.8, x/2.02, y/2, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) ) 
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.5, y/3.6, x, y, tocolor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" ) 
    dxDrawText ( "Welcome to\nLos Santos Roleplay " .. playerName, x/3.48, y/3.58, x, y, tocolor ( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), 1, "bankgothic" ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler('onClientRender', getRootElement(), drawStuff) 
  
function closedrawstuff() 
    removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), drawStuff) 
end 
    
local seconds = 50 
    
setTimer ( closedrawstuff, ( seconds * 100 ), 1 ) 

I took it my own way and this works thanks for the help tho
