[Help!] loadstring and color

[.:HyPeX:.]

well loadstring is not doing anything, and color returned is just crazy values, like -168586

  
outputChatBox("#00aaffdxDrawRectangle Script by HyPeX Started", 255,255,255,true)

end 
end

Random test:

  
function DrawRectangle() 
local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() 
local color = 1677721600 
local EndY = 0.40234375 
local EndX = 0.6860294342041 
local CursorTableY1 = 0.25260415673256 
local CursorTableX1 = 0.28529411554337  
dxDrawRectangle(CursorTableX1 * x, CursorTableY1 * y,( EndX * x ) - ( CursorTableX1 * x ), ( EndY * y - CursorTableY1 * y ), color) 
end  
addEventHandler('onClientRender', getRootElement(), DrawRectangle) 

PD: Somehow, that crazy number colour, works as if tocolor, lol.

loadstring doesn't work because you put it after 'return'.

Moved it down, with no result.

  
function TestRec() 
if not DrawString then 
outputChatBox("#00aaffPlease do the function first, Draw string doesnt exist.", 255,255,255,true) 
return 
end 
loadstring(DrawString) 
outputChatBox("#00aaffRunning the string.", 255,255,255,true) 
end 
addCommandHandler("TestRec", TestRec) 
  

i get the output thought.. (running)

outputConsole(DrawString) 

Does it output correct stuff?

[.:HyPeX:.]

Yes. (Read the first post: Random test.)

[WhoAmI]

Everything looks fine, hmm. Any errors? Put outputChatBox after loadstring to check if script gets there.

[.:HyPeX:.]

Yes:

Well I can't see an error, maybe someone with more experience would help you.

[.:HyPeX:.]

Bump still need help, tried to use runcode with crun and got this..

  
Executing client-side command: function DrawRectangle() local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() dxDrawRectangle(0.26397058367729 * x, 0.24869792163372 * y,( 0.80588233470917 * x ) - ( 0.26397058367729 * x ), ( 0.43098959326744 * y - 0.24869792163372 * y ), -1275068416) end addEventHandler( 
Error: [string "function DrawRectangle() local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() dxDrawR..."]:1: unexpected symbol near '<eof> 

To make it work i did string like this:

TestString = "function DrawRectangle() local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() dxDrawRectangle("..CursorTable.X1.." * x, "..CursorTable.Y1.." * y,( "..EndX.." * x ) - ( "..CursorTable.X1.." * x ), ( "..EndY.." * y - "..CursorTable.Y1.." * y ), "..color..") end addEventHandler('onClientRender', getRootElement(), DrawRectangle)" 

Gives same result as original string try..

[Castillo]

TestString = [[function DrawRectangle() local x,y = guiGetScreenSize() dxDrawRectangle("..CursorTable.X1.." * x, "..CursorTable.Y1.." * y,( "..EndX.." * x ) - ( "..CursorTable.X1.." * x ), ( "..EndY.." * y - "..CursorTable.Y1.." * y ), "..color..") end addEventHandler('onClientRender', getRootElement(), DrawRectangle)]] 

Try that string instead.

[.:HyPeX:.]

Not working

[Castillo]

Do you get any errors? can you post the current code?

[.:HyPeX:.]

the whole code is @first post.

[Castillo]

Try with this function:

function runString ( commandstring ) 
    local notReturned 
    local commandFunction, errorMsg = loadstring ( "return ".. commandstring ) 
    if ( errorMsg ) then 
        notReturned = true 
        commandFunction, errorMsg = loadstring ( commandstring ) 
    end 
  
    if ( errorMsg ) then 
        return false 
    end 
  
    local results = { pcall ( commandFunction ) } 
    if ( not results [ 1 ] ) then 
        return false 
    end 
end 

function TestRec ( ) 
    if ( not DrawString ) then 
        outputChatBox ( "#00aaffPlease do the function first, Draw string doesnt exist.", 255, 255, 255, true ) 
        return 
    end 
  
    runString ( DrawString ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "TestRec", TestRec ) 

[.:HyPeX:.]

Worked, but how can i turn off the test?
