[downight]

Hi, I want to show ping on screen. I've made code but doesn't work since I'm learning how to script Please help me

function DXdraw() 
--Variables 
        local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
setTimer(function() 
triggerServerEvent("online",getLocalPlayer())  
end, 10000, 1, true) 
  
                 local ping = getPlayerPing ( getLocalPlayer(), "ping") 
  g_dxGUI = { 
  ping = dxText:create("PING: ", screenWidth - 202,screenHeight - 86, false, 'bankgothic', 0.7), 
  pingNumber = dxText:create(..ping, screenWidth - 150,screenHeight - 86, false, 'bankgothic', 0.7) 
  } 
  g_dxGUI.ping:color(255, 255, 255, 255) 
  g_dxGUI.pingNumber:color(128,255,0,255) 
  g_dxGUI.ping:type("shadow", 1, 0, 0, 0, 255) 
  g_dxGUI.pingNumber:type("shadow", 1, 0, 0, 0, 255) 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), DXdraw) 
  
local pingEnabled = true 
function ping() 
    if pingEnabled then 
        g_dxGUI.ping:visible(false) 
        g_dxGUI.pingNumber:visible(false) 
        pingEnabled = false 
    else 
        g_dxGUI.pingEnabled = true 
        g_dxGUI.ping:visible(true) 
        g_dxGUI.pingNumber:visible(true)         
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("ping", ping, false, false)

end 

Check this out. But are you sure that you want trigger server event every frame? This function is turning on 30-60 times per second. I put this timer before the function.

[downight]

I don't know. How bad is it? I mean, does it slowdown the server or what?

[WhoAmI]

Isn't it? You are just setting timer 50 times in 1 second. You can do this once in 10 seconds or even more.

[downight]

Your code doesn't work either for me :3

[WhoAmI]

Errors? And you are sure that dxGUI is started?

[downight]

I have FPS script but in race.zip and it works fine. So could you help me edit it?

[WhoAmI]

How me the code from it.

Nvm for now. This ping code works good but I want "ping" text white and "ping number" 128,255,0

function DXdraw() 
--Variables 
        local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize ( ) 
setTimer(function() 
triggerServerEvent("online",getLocalPlayer())  
end, 10000, 1, true) 
  
                 local ping = getPlayerPing ( getLocalPlayer(), "ping2") 
  ping2= ' Ping:' ..ping 
dxDrawText(tostring(ping2),0, screenHeight - 190, screenWidth, screenHeight,tocolor(128,255,0),0.7,"bankgothic")  
  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), DXdraw)

    dxDrawText("Ping:", 0, screenHeight - 190, screenWidth, screenHeight,tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255),0.7,"bankgothic") 
     
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), DXdraw) 

You just need to change position in 2nd text.

[downight]

Nice, works But you know how to add shadow? I want to add a slight shadow to the text. I used: type("shadow", 1, 0, 0, 0, 255). But doesn't work tho

[WhoAmI]

Just add extra dxDrawText with same values, but x, y position +1, +1 colored black.

[downight]

I didn't think of that lol Thanks man ^^

[WhoAmI]

No problem.
