Notifications

[Dzejki]

Hello guys.

I just want to know how i can do such a thing:

If someone spamming with call notification function I want to change next notification position. I don't want them all in same position. And when the oldest notification disappears, rest changing position.

How can I do that?

  
local screen_x, screen_y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local info = {} 
  
function showInfo (type, text) 
    if type and text then 
         
        local path, path_ 
        if type == "warning" then 
            path, path_ = "images/info_r.png", "images/warning.png" 
        elseif type == "info" then 
            path, path_ = "images/info_g.png", "images/info.png" 
        end 
         
        local y = 50 
        if #info > 1 then 
            y = #info * 50 
        else 
            y = 50 
        end 
         
        info[#info + 1] = guiCreateStaticImage(((screen_x - (screen_x * 0.5))/2) - 20, screen_y - y, screen_x * 0.5, 35, path, false) 
        guiCreateStaticImage((screen_x * 0.5) * 0.1, 5, 25, 25, path_, false, info[#info + 1]) 
        guiSetAlpha(info[#info + 1], 0.7) 
        local label = guiCreateLabel(((screen_x * 0.5) * 0.1) + 35, 10, (screen_x * 0.5) - (((screen_x * 0.5) * 0.1) + 35), 35, text, false, info[#info + 1]) 
        guiSetFont(label, guiCreateFont("fonts/Idealist.ttf", 12)) 
         
        move(info[#info + 1], ((screen_x - (screen_x * 0.5))/2) - 20, screen_y - 50, (screen_x - (screen_x * 0.5))/2, screen_y - 50, 2) 
         
        setTimer( 
            function () 
                for k,v in ipairs(info) do 
                    if v == info[1] then                         
                        alpha(info[1], 0.7, 0, 0.3) 
                    else 
                        local x, y = guiGetPosition(v, false) 
                        info[1] = info[2] 
                        info[2] = info[3] 
                        info[3] = nil 
                         
                        move(v, x, y, x, y - 50, 0.5) 
                    end 
                end 
            end 
        , 3000, 1) 
    end 
end 

I did sth like that but I think that my thinking going bad way. And all code I did has no sense. But anyway, help me, please.

Ah, and move and alpha functions look like this (they r working good):

function move(guiElement, posx, posy, newx, newy, interpTime) 
    if guiElement then 
        if posx and posy and newx and newy then 
            local startTick = getTickCount() 
            interpTime = interpTime * 1000 
            addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function() 
                local currTime = getTickCount() - startTick 
                local progress = currTime / interpTime  
                if progress <= 1 then 
                    local interpPosX, interpPosY = interpolateBetween(posx, posy, 0, newx, newy, 0, progress, "OutBack", 0, 0, 1) 
                    guiSetPosition(guiElement, interpPosX, interpPosY, false) 
                end 
            end) 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function alpha(guiElement, interpStart, interpStop, interpTime) 
    if guiElement then 
        local startTick = getTickCount() 
        interpTime = interpTime * 1000 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function() 
            local currTime = getTickCount() - startTick 
            local progress = currTime / interpTime  
            if progress <= 1 then 
                local interpAlpha = interpolateBetween(interpStart, 0, 0, interpStop, 0, 0, progress, "Linear") 
                guiSetAlpha(guiElement,interpAlpha) 
            end 
        end) 
    end 
end

Anyone?

By using the array variable multiplying by the distance between the text.

Required: table.remove

50 pixels between the text.

newPosition = positionY -(50* array)  

[Dzejki]

How I can define this array?

[IIYAMA]

for k,v in ipairs(info) do

[Dzejki]

        setTimer( 
            function () 
                for k,v in ipairs(info) do 
                    if k == 1 then                       
                        alpha(info[1], 0.7, 0, 0.3) 
                    else 
                        local x, y = guiGetPosition(v, false) 
                        info[1] = info[2] 
                        info[2] = info[3] 
                         
                         
                        move(v, x, y, x, y + (50 * k), 0.5) 
                    end 
                end 
            end 
        , 3000, 1) 

I did sth like this but every notifications moving down, the oldest doesn't disappear. They all moving and changing alpha same time.

Other problem is that each notfication's position is higher and higher, it looks like this:

Full code:

function showInfo (type, text) 
    if type and text then 
         
        local path, path_ 
        if type == "warning" then 
            path, path_ = "images/info_r.png", "images/warning.png" 
        elseif type == "info" then 
            path, path_ = "images/info_g.png", "images/info.png" 
        end 
         
        local y = 50 
        if #info > 1 then 
            y = #info * 50 
        else 
            y = 50 
        end 
         
        info[#info + 1] = guiCreateStaticImage(((screen_x - (screen_x * 0.5))/2) - 20, screen_y - y, screen_x * 0.5, 35, path, false) 
        guiCreateStaticImage((screen_x * 0.5) * 0.1, 5, 25, 25, path_, false, info[#info + 1]) 
        guiSetAlpha(info[#info + 1], 0.7) 
        local label = guiCreateLabel(((screen_x * 0.5) * 0.1) + 35, 10, (screen_x * 0.5) - (((screen_x * 0.5) * 0.1) + 35), 35, text, false, info[#info + 1]) 
        guiSetFont(label, guiCreateFont("fonts/Idealist.ttf", 12)) 
         
        move(info[#info + 1], ((screen_x - (screen_x * 0.5))/2) - 20, screen_y - 50, (screen_x - (screen_x * 0.5))/2, screen_y - 50, 2) 
         
        setTimer( 
            function () 
                for k,v in ipairs(info) do 
                    if k == 1 then                       
                        alpha(info[1], 0.7, 0, 0.3) 
                    else 
                        local x, y = guiGetPosition(v, false) 
                        info[1] = info[2] 
                        info[2] = info[3] 
                         
                         
                        move(v, x, y, x, y + (50 * k), 0.5) 
                    end 
                end 
            end 
        , 3000, 1) 
    end 
end

Because you forgot to save the future time and forgot to remove it and to delete the elements.

[Dzejki]

You meant table.remove(k)? I'll check it.

@Edit: Nah, i don't understand. My worst side is tables nad I don't understand it at all.

[..:D&G:..]

I think u are trying to do something like this : https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ls&id=6919
