dxDrawText onMarkerHit

[toxicsmoke11]

hello i want to make marker and when player hits that marker,it shows him text(dxDrawText)

and it should output on chat test 9835

so i dont know how to script,i have just looked on wiki some examples and i tried doing this funny code but like i though,it isnt working.

i dont know how to use dxdrawtext with just regular text because on wiki there is just 1 example which gets zone name by itself but i just want to make my own text,i hope that you understand me.

here is my lua

  
local myMarker = createMarker(2043.8688964844, 838.22564697266, 6.7421550750732, 'corona', 2.0, 255, 0, 0, 150) 
  
function MarkerHit( hitElement, matchingDimension )  
    local elementType = getElementType( hitElement )  
    outputChatBox( elementType.." test 9835", getRootElement(), 0, 175, 255 )  
    dxDrawText ( 9835, tocolor ( 0, 175, 255, 255 ), 1.02, "pricedown" ) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit )  
  
  
function HandleTheRendering ( ) 
    addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, createText ) 
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, HandleTheRendering ) 
  

and meta

  

    "9835" type="script" name="dxdrawtextmarker" />

put onClientMarkerHit instead of onMarkerHit

put onClientMarkerHit instead of onMarkerHit

it did output on chat test 9835 but it did not draw the text '9835'

i think that it did not draw my text because something is wrong in that line.

try this

dxDrawText ( "9835", tocolor ( 0, 175, 255, 255 ), 1.02, "pricedown" )

[toxicsmoke11]

try this

dxDrawText ( "9835", tocolor ( 0, 175, 255, 255 ), 1.02, "pricedown" )

still doesn't show the text.

        outputChatBox(elementType.." test 9835", 0, 175, 255)

addEventHandler("onClientMarkerHit", myMarker, MarkerHit) 
  
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
  
function createText() 
    dxDrawText("9835", 44, screenHeight - 41, screenWidth, screenHeight, tocolor(0, 175, 255, 255), 1.02, "pricedown")
