[HELP] dxDrawText 2

[Backsage]

Hi, today I ran into a problem with dxDrawText again. It shows the text to me, but it's not showing the text to other players! It's doing it again!

Client side:

Are they in dimension 1?

[Backsage]

Yes, they are. It's just, I don't know. It was working a couple days ago.

[GTX]

If it was working then I've no idea. Try debugging your code like:

for k, v in ipairs(dim1players) do 
    local text1 = "P1 RP: " 
    local text2 = "P2 RP: " 
    outputDebugString("Sent to "..getPlayerName(v)) 
    triggerClientEvent(v, "round5addtext", v, text1, text2) 
end 

[Etha]

function round5AddText(score1, score2) 
    local dim1players = getElementsInDimension("player", 1) 
    for k, v in ipairs (dim1players) do 
        local text1 = "P1 RP: " 
        local text2 = "P2 RP: " 
        triggerClientEvent(v, "round5addtext", getRootElement(), text1, text2) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onRound5ShowText", true) 
addEventHandler("onRound5ShowText", root, round5AddText) 
  
  
function round5RemoveText() 
    local dim1players = getElementsInDimension("player", 1) 
    for k, v in ipairs (dim1players) do 
        triggerClientEvent(v, "round5removetext", getRootElement()) 
    end 
end 
addEvent("onRound5RemoveText", true) 
addEventHandler("onRound5RemoveText", root, round5RemoveText)

When a client sets the players and then sets/creates the round and then does /round5showdx, it gives me (the admin) an error in the debugscript:

ERROR: tdm-panel/gui30.lua:1712: attempt to concatenate global 'PlayerTeam1CurrentRespawns' (a nil value).

And it just spams the debugscript. If that other client was an admin and did /debugscript 3 and me (the admin) did/round5showdx, it would show up in the debugscript. And it doesn't even matter what kind of round the other client side. If someone set a round first, then the text for that round will show up on the other client's screen, even if the other's client's round is different.

So it's not showing up because the other client didn't set the round yet. How do I fix this?

And Etha, your code didn't work

[Etha]

it spams because u wrote here onClientRender

function thisistest(score) 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, round5alltext) 
end 
addEvent("round5addtext", true) 
addEventHandler("round5addtext", root, thisistest) 

here u have very strange check (dim == 1) why ?:

function round5alltext() 
    local dim = getElementDimension(localPlayer) 
    for i, v in ipairs (getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if (dim == 1) then 
            dxDrawText("P1 RP: " .. PlayerTeam1CurrentRespawns, 118, 358, 291, 380, tocolor(255, 174, 0, 255), 1.30, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false) 
            dxDrawText("P2 RP: " .. PlayerTeam2CurrentRespawns, 767, 358, 940, 380, tocolor(255, 174, 0, 255), 1.30, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false) 
        end 
    end 
end 

and about error in debugger: what is this PlayerTeam1CurrentRespawns & PlayerTeam2CurrentRespawns in function round5alltext()? u trying concatenate nil value cuz they r undefined

solution: add after function createRound()..end this string

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,createRound) 

after all, u can't concatenate integer values..wrap them via tostring() like as:

dxDrawText("P1 RP: " .. tostring(PlayerTeam1CurrentRespawns), 118, 358, 291, 380, tocolor(255, 174, 0, 255), 1.30, "default-bold", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false) 

[Backsage]

Almost works, except that it shows P1 RP: nil and P2 RP: nil to the other client's screen. Need it to be 0.

And the dim == 1 check is to make sure that the text only shows up in that dimension.

Edit: I think what I need to do is use onPlayerSpawn server side which will trigger a special event client side that'll add scores and trigger the render.

Nvm, I've fixed the bug.
