Timer

[-.Paradox.-]

Hello i want draw +1500 text every time a zombie get killed, and disappear after 3 seconds thanks for help.

addEvent( "onZombieWasted" ); 
addEventHandler( "onZombieWasted", getRootElement(), 
       function( killer ) 
           givePlayerMoney( killer, 1500 ); 
       end 
) 
  
addEventHandler("onZombieWasted", getRootElement(), 
function () 
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1211, 51, 1351, 77, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
  
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1211, 49, 1351, 75, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
  
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1209, 51, 1349, 77, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
  
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1209, 49, 1349, 75, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
  
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1210, 50, 1350, 76, tocolor(0, 100, 35, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
  
end 
)

Have you tried using Textlib? https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=24262 It's probably the easiest way to achieve what you are talking about.

[-.Paradox.-]

I know but i dont want use it

[johny46]

Then you have to create an "onClientRender" event handler every time you want to display your text, and then create a timer to destroy the handler after 3 seconds.

[-.Paradox.-]

not onClientRender because I want when zombie wasted, I guess I have to remove event handler after 3 secs after each kill

[johny46]

That's exactly what I said. You need to add event handler when a zombie gets killed, and then create a timer to remove that event handler. The dx functions are displayed only for one frame, that's why you have to display them "onClientRender".

[-.Paradox.-]

Like that? I made this code in my iPhone but idk what I must put to show the text only when zombie get killed thanks for help

  
function onTest() 
dxDrawText("+1500", 1211, 51, 1351, 77, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false)  
dxDrawText("+1500", 1211, 49, 1351, 75, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false)  
dxDrawText("+1500", 1209, 51, 1349, 77, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false)  
dxDrawText("+1500", 1209, 49, 1349, 75, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false)  
dxDrawText("+1500", 1210, 50, 1350, 76, tocolor(0, 100, 35, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement, onTest) 
  
setTimer( 
function () 
removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement, onTest) 
end 
, 3000, 1 
) 
  

[johny46]

Yeah, just like that, except you have to do

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, onTest) 
setTimer(removeEventHandler, 3000, 1, "onClientRender", root, onTest) 

whenever a zombie gets killed. So the proper code should look like this:

function onTest() 
dxDrawText("+1500", 1211, 51, 1351, 77, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
dxDrawText("+1500", 1211, 49, 1351, 75, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
dxDrawText("+1500", 1209, 51, 1349, 77, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
dxDrawText("+1500", 1209, 49, 1349, 75, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
dxDrawText("+1500", 1210, 50, 1350, 76, tocolor(0, 100, 35, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
end 
  
addEvent( "onZombieWasted" ); 
addEventHandler( "onZombieWasted", root, 
function( killer ) 
        givePlayerMoney( killer, 1500 ); 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, onTest) 
        setTimer(removeEventHandler, 3000, 1, "onClientRender", root, onTest) 
end) 
  

You are probably still going to tweak this a bit, so it behaves properly when two zombies get killed in a period shorter than three seconds.

Not working too no errors in debug

[Castillo]

onZombieWasted is a server side event.

[-.Paradox.-]

So what I should do?

[johny46]

I don't know what zombie gamemode do you use, so I don't know whether "onClientZombieWasted" exists. Assuming it does not, you could use this code serverside:

addEvent( "onZombieWasted" ) 
addEventHandler( "onZombieWasted", getRootElement(), 
function( killer ) 
        givePlayerMoney( killer, 1500 ) 
        triggerClientEvent(killer,"onClientZombieWasted", resourceRoot) 
end 

and this code clientside:

function onTest() 
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1211, 51, 1351, 77, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1211, 49, 1351, 75, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1209, 51, 1349, 77, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1209, 49, 1349, 75, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
        dxDrawText("+1500", 1210, 50, 1350, 76, tocolor(0, 100, 35, 255), 1.00, "pricedown", "left", "top", false, false, true, false, false) 
end 
      
addEvent( "onClientZombieWasted" ) 
addEventHandler( "onClientZombieWasted", root, 
function() 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, onTest) 
        setTimer( 
        function () 
                removeEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, onTest ) 
        end, 3000, 1) 
end) 

Again, I don't know what zombie resource do you use, so it may not work properly.

ERROR: Server triggered clientside event onClientZombieWasted, but event is not marked as remotly triggerable

And i'm suing this

https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ils&id=347

[johny46]

Eh, I forgot about that "remotely triggerable" thingy, my bad. Just replace

addEvent("onClientZombieWasted") 

by

addEvent("onClientZombieWasted", true) 

[WASSIm.]

use onClientPedWasted

[johny46]

You would still need to check whether the "source" is a zombie using

isPedZombie() 

, which is a serverside function, so it would still require triggering server events and all that stuff. Or maybe there's some other way to check whether a ped is a zombie (eg. getElementData()), but I don't know of any other because I've never ran that zombie gamemode myself.

Thanks man working

[johny46]

You're welcome.
