image delete problems

[makkocska]

Hi guys!

I'am a begginer lua scripter,so please "look away from my mistakes" ...

So there is a function -- > delete images, but i cant fix it because its only run once..when i start it.

How can i do that: check every seconds and if player health more than 80 - > do the destroy..

function imagedown() 
local HP = getElementHealth ( getLocalPlayer() ) 
    if(HP >= 80) then 
    destroyElement(pic1) 
    destroyElement(pic2) 
    destroyElement(pic3) 
    destroyElement(pic4) 
    destroyElement(pic5) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, imagedown) 

Thank you!

okay its work, thank you but actually, now if the player health is >=80 debugscript 3 spam me :

bad element pointer @ 'destroyElement'

how can i fix it ? I mean .. if >=80 and once restarted dont restart again only if lower than 80 . !

if pic1 then 
destroyElement(pic1) 
end

You should consider using dxDrawImage instead of GUI, since it should be more efficient.

doesnt work with dxDrawImage

If you want to use dxDrawImage you need to put the function on event onClientRender. The image will be drawn for only 1 frame. With this render it will be kept drawing it on each frame. The only thing you have to do then is:

local HP = getElementHealth(getLocalPlayer()) 
    if (HP < 80) then 
        dxDrawImage(...) 
    end
