I need a little help here

[roaddog]

Hey guys

I need help, I made this script which gonna draw gang above head,

Idk if it works or not, so this

isRendering = false 
addEventHandler( "onClientRender",root, 
   function( ) 
   if isRendering then 
      local px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, dist 
      px, py, pz = getCameraMatrix( ) 
      for _, v in ipairs( getElementsByType 'player' ) do 
         tx, ty, tz = getElementPosition( v ) 
         dist = math.sqrt( ( px - tx ) ^ 2 + ( py - ty ) ^ 2 + ( pz - tz ) ^ 2 ) 
         if dist < 30.0 then 
            if isLineOfSightClear( px, py, pz, tx, ty, tz, true, false, false, true, false, false, false,localPlayer ) then 
               local sx, sy, sz = getPedBonePosition( v, 5 ) 
               local x,y = getScreenFromWorldPosition( sx, sy, sz + 0.3 ) 
               local lmao = getElementData(localPlayer, "Group") 
               if x then -- getScreenFromWorldPosition returns false if the point isn't on screen 
                dxDrawText( tostring(lmao), x-25, y-70, x, y, tocolor(0, 150, 0), 0.85 + ( 15 - dist ) * 0.02, "bankgothic","center", "center" ) 
               end 
               end 
            end 
         end 
      end 
    end 
)              for i, d in ipairs ( getElementsByType 'player' ) do 
                    if d ~= localPlayer then 
                    isRendering = false 
                    else 
                    isRendering = true 
                    end 
               end 

Well is this gonna work? I mean localPlayer wont see his render, and only others can see it.

[Castillo]

Why don't you try it and see the result?

[roaddog]

They can see their own text above. why doesnt that work?

[12p]

I'm just asking, what do you think these three lines do?

for i, d in ipairs ( getElementsByType 'player' ) do 
                    if d ~= localPlayer then 
                    isRendering = false 

Do you even try to understand the code you copy?

[roaddog]

I guess its gonna hide dxDraw if they are local player

[12p]

I guess its gonna hide dxDraw if they are local player

And the local player is the one who runs the code... That is, yourself, if you tested it.

Guess why it doesn't work, now?

[roaddog]

Alright then. I removed those line and add this

    function showGang() 
    for i,player in ipairs(getElementsByType"player") do 
              isRendering = true   
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), showGang) 

then how to show only for others?

[Mr_Moose]

By adding these thre lines you just removed again, then look at them carefully one or more times until you understand that the problem isn't the lines but the logical statement which returns the opposite result.

for i, d in ipairs ( getElementsByType 'player' ) do 
    if d ~= localPlayer then 
        isRendering = false 

[roaddog]

Oh, yeah omg thank you for explaining.

[Mr_Moose]

Oh, yeah omg thank you for explaining.

You're welcome
