EventHandler Priority

[Bonsai]

Hey Guys,

I tried to use the priority argument on "addEventHandler" to manage the order of dx stuff that is drawn "onClientRender".

It did not work, so I wonder if this is something that cannot be done this way?

Can it be done at all?

I need a way to make sure certain things are always on top of others, even things that come from different resources.

Using postGui is kinda annoying since it blocks gui elements.

And did you do it correctly?

"high" will be drawn frist (bottom)

"normal" will be drawn as next

"low" will be drawn as last (top)

[Bonsai]

Yeah, that's what I did.

Anyway, meanwhile I found the problem.

I was using "onClientPreRender" because I needed the delta time and this event is always triggered before "onClientRender".

Now I will probably have to change everything to "onClientPreRender".

Thanks for your reply.

You can write like about 3 lines of code and you'll have delta time onClientRender. Anyway, onClientPreRender isn't a bad solution either, so it's ultimately your choice which one you'll use.

I thought about that.

I usually prefer to use things that are already existing instead of writing something new.

I'm not sure if onClientPreRender has any disadvantage over onClientRender.

So far it seems to be working fine tho.

As scripter you don't want to execute too much DX functions, before rendering the actually game.

Yep, I switched to what MrTasty said and simply calculate the delta time on my own.

Using onClientRender instead of onClientPreRender also pretty much ensures, with setting a low priority, no other resource or map will draw on top of it.
