Post the source code from this function: dxDraw3DText

[Sasu]

Where is 'sourcePlayer' defined?

@Solidsnake14, you forgot a comma on line 10.

[Castillo]

Not really, he forgot the comma.

function mogolla ( ) 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) 
    local theText = dxDraw3DText ( "Doton doriu jehiquin" x, y, z, 2, "default", 255, 255, 255, 12 ) 
    if theText then 
        setTimer ( destroyElement, 10000, 1, theText ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "doton", mogolla )

Apart from missing commas and usage of variable before it is assigned the function value, this line hardly has any meaning:

local dxDraw3DText = exports.3D_DX_Texts:dxDraw3DText 

This syntax:

table:method(arguments) 

is another way to write this call:

table.method(table, arguments) 

So it's not like 'table:method' has any meaning without a call.
