outputMessage (Output Custom Function)

Zuher Laith · January 18, 2016

Greetings Everyone ..

I Was looking for a Brand new outputMessage to Show The Error Message

So The Content is When i Call "outputMessage", It Popup an Message With What i typed.

To make the Idea Clear, Here is an Code-Ex:

outputMessage("# Test Message", 255, 0, 255);

I Found this in Business Mod At Community (https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=2847)

So this Mod has The OutputMessage Functions ..

Here is a Code Look on his Functions:

dxoutput.client File:

local screen_width, screen_height = GuiElement.getScreenSize(); 
local relative_width, relative_height = screen_width / 1440, screen_height / 900 
  
local static_left = relative_width * 983; 
local cur_left = static_left; 
local move_offet = relative_width * 20; 
local cur_message = ""; 
local cur_color = {255, 255, 255}; 
local message_moving = false; 
local message_moving_back = false; 
local message_moving_back_timer; 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function() 
    dxDrawFramedText(cur_message, cur_left, relative_height * 618.0, cur_left + (relative_width * 456), relative_height * 645.0, tocolor(cur_color[1], cur_color[2], cur_color[3], 255), 1.0, "default-bold", "center", "center", false, true, true); 
end); 
  
function dxOutputMessage(message, r, g, b) 
    if (message_moving) then removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, moveMessage); end 
    if (message_moving_back) then removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, moveMessageBack); end 
    if (message_moving_back_timer and message_moving_back_timer:isValid()) then message_moving_back_timer:destroy(); end 
    cur_left, cur_message, cur_color = relative_width * 1440, message or "", {r or 255, g or 255, b or 255}; 
    message_moving_back_timer = Timer(hideMessage, 5000, 1); 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, moveMessage); 
    message_moving = true; 
end 
  
function moveMessage() 
    cur_left = cur_left - move_offet; 
    if (cur_left <= static_left) then 
        removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, moveMessage); 
        cur_left = relative_width * 983; 
        message_moving = false; 
    end 
end 
  
function hideMessage() 
    message_moving_back = true; 
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, moveMessageBack); 
end 
  
function moveMessageBack() 
    cur_left = cur_left + move_offet; 
    if (cur_left >= relative_width * 1440) then 
        removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, moveMessageBack); 
        cur_left = relative_width * 1440; 
        message_moving_back = false; 
    end 
end 
     
function dxDrawFramedText(message, left, top, width, height, color, scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI) 
    dxDrawText(message, left + 1, top + 1, width + 1, height + 1, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI); 
    dxDrawText(message, left + 1, top - 1, width + 1, height - 1, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI); 
    dxDrawText(message, left - 1, top + 1, width - 1, height + 1, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI); 
    dxDrawText(message, left - 1, top - 1, width - 1, height - 1, tocolor(0, 0, 0, 255), scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI); 
    dxDrawText(message, left, top, width, height, color, scale, font, alignX, alignY, clip, wordBreak, postGUI); 
end 
  
addEvent("business.dxOutputMessage", true) 
addEventHandler("business.dxOutputMessage", root, function(message, r, g, b) 
    dxOutputMessage(message, r, g, b); 
end);

Client File Function:

function outputMessage(message, r, g, b) 
    triggerServerEvent("business.outputMessage", localPlayer, message, r, g, b); 
end

Server File Function:

function Player:outputMessage(message, r, g, b) 
    if (settings.info_messages_type == "dx") then 
        dxOutputMessage(message, self, r, g, b); 
    else 
        self:outputChat(message, r, g, b, true); 
    end 
end 
  
function outputMessage(message, player, r, g, b) 
    if (settings.info_messages_type == "dx") then 
        dxOutputMessage(message, player, r, g, b); 
    else 
        player:outputChat(message, r, g, b, true); 
    end 
end 
  
function dxOutputMessage(message, player, r, g, b) 
    triggerClientEvent(player, "business.dxOutputMessage", player, message, r, g, b); 
end 
  
addEvent("business.outputMessage", true); 
addEventHandler("business.outputMessage", root, function(message, r, g, b) 
    source:outputMessage(message, r, g, b); 
end);

META File:

So this is "His" Functions that he used to Ouput Message

WHAT I WANT IS

Install This Output Functions to Other Mods ..

Can i Do that?

OR

Can i Make a Custom mod for this Func?, So I Can Just Call "outputMessage" On every Mod i have ?

Waiting for Reply.

You can always write your own function. All you need is a table for the text that has been sent already ( the messages ), you might even add some time in there if you like. Colors, what so ever.

After the table has been filled, loop over the entries and show them. Make them fade, make them fancy. Whatever floats your boat. To do so, you should be able to write it with the following functions/events (might miss some );

triggerServerEvent 
triggerClientEvent 
dxDrawText -- for the text, obviously 
dxDrawImage -- can be used if you want images in there 
dxDrawRectangle -- if you want a background behind the text 
getLocalPlayer -- always check if the requested player is the localPlayer to avoid others from getting his messages 
table.insert -- to save the table 
onClientRender -- to show your messages 
setTimer -- to hide them later on, if you want to do this 
exports -- to call the function from another resource

@tosfera

Thanks for The Idea's ..

but i guess this Will Request from me some Experience .. and Time and support for the problems i have with it.

So I will just use the Function he made, it shorts every thing for me.

but till now i didn't get the Answer for my first Question ..

Install This Output Functions to Other Mods

IIYAMA · January 18, 2016

Make dxOutputMessage an export function and you can call it from other resources.

call

tosfera · January 18, 2016

If you want to do that, you just install the resource and execute the function. You can do this by using triggerServerEvent, triggerEvent or directly with triggerClientEvent. All this needs is the event which is "business.outputMessage", the player, the message and the rgb. That's basically it.

Make dxOutputMessage an export function and you can call it from other resources.
call 

Why would you export it if you can also just call the added event, quite double dutch there.

IIYAMA · January 18, 2016

Because it uses less memory. I prefer to use only the lua memory and not the MTA event system.

Anyway, an event would be fine too.

Zuher Laith · January 18, 2016

@tosfera

So I Will Export the Functions to The Original Mod Meta ..

        function="outputMessage" type="client"/> 
        function="outputMessage" type="server"/> 
        function="dxOutputMessage" type="server"/> 
        function="Player:outputMessage" type="server"/>

Right ? ..

Now i Will go to the Mod that i want to call the function on ..

call(getResourceFromName("business"), "outputMessage", "Message", "r", "g", "b")

I think what i'am talking about make's sense right ? ..

Sorry for Bad Exp, I'am new around here.

IIYAMA · January 18, 2016

fill in >"r", 'g', 'b'< in with a value between 0 and 255.

255, 0, 0 = red color

0, 255, 0 = green color

0, 0, 255 = blue color

Or mix the color channels until you have the color you want.

And you are ready to go.

Zuher Laith · January 18, 2016

@tosfera & @IIYAMA

You Guys are Awesome ! ..

Thanks for Help

Zuher Laith · January 18, 2016

Hold On ..

I've got an Error While Output in Server Side:

[17:30:24] ERROR: Shop\Server.lua:37: call: failed to call 'business:Player:outputMessage'

I Used "Player.outputMessage" ..

call(getResourceFromName("business"), "Player:outputMessage", "Message", 255, 0, 255)

Because in "Business Mod" In Server Side, He Used "player:outputMessage"

I Don't Understand the Problem ..

WhoAmI · January 18, 2016

As far as I know, you can't export OOP functions.

Zuher Laith · January 18, 2016

Alright, So i tried the Same One , on Client & Server "outputMessage"

This is what is Give's in the Console:

[18:25:53] WARNING: [gamemodes]\business\scripts\core.server.lua:83: Bad argumen 
t @ 'triggerClientEvent' [Expected element at argument 2, got string 'business.d 
xOutputMessage']

Here's the Code of Line 83:

function dxOutputMessage(message, player, r, g, b) 
    triggerClientEvent(player, "business.dxOutputMessage", player, message, r, g, b); 
end

This is Strange ..

Because it Works On Client Side, but do not works on Server Side !

Help Please ..

Zuher Laith · January 18, 2016

Any one didn't see the topic ? :\

This important a little bit .. please help

Addlibs · January 18, 2016

You didn't specify the player element for the server side call, thus it skipped the sendTo argument (since it is optional, it is evaluated only if it is a userdata, otherwise it assumes the argument doesn't exist and considers argument 1 as argument 2, 2 as 3, 3 as 4 and so on), leaving the slightly confusing message that it got a string instead of a player element.

-- To illustrate, this is being called: 
triggerClientEvent(nil, "business.dxOutputMessage", nil, "message", 255, 255, 255) 
-- which is the same as 
triggerClientEvent("business.dxOutputMessage", nil, "message", 255, 255, 255) 
-- but the arguments are misplaced. If the first argument was a player element, instead of a nil, the former example would work, otherwise it must be structured like the latter.

Zuher Laith · January 18, 2016

@MrTasty

Here is The DxOutput Function In the Original "business" Server Side:

function dxOutputMessage(message, player, r, g, b) 
    triggerClientEvent(player, "business.dxOutputMessage", player, message, r, g, b); 
end

No Mistake's in here Right ? ..

I Tried to Change "player" to "nil" as you Suggested , didn't worked !

Remember The Function Works In Client Side, but doesn't work on Server Side ..

Waiting for Reply ..

IIYAMA · January 18, 2016

The problem is with the export from resource you are exporting from.

The player element you use in your export isn't valid.

I recommend you to post your own code.

2: >if (settings.info_messages_type == "dx") then< is info_messages_type in the meta.xml set to dx?

1- The Error Is :

[12:10:31] WARNING: [gamemodes]\business\scripts\core.server.lua:83: Bad argument @ 'triggerClientEvent' [Expected element at argument 2, got string 'business.dxOutputMessage']

2- The Setting Set to "dx'.

and from where are you testing that code? Because it seems that, that code doesn't provide a valid source element.

I'am Testing it from a Normal Script, Server.lua

The Script doesn't have any thing linked with "business" mod ! So it's a normal Call !

<meta> 
<info author="NiGht" version="4.0.0" type="script" />  
  <script src="Client.lua" type="client" /> 
  <script src="Server.lua" type="server" /> 
</meta>

If you are not understanding the problem yet, do you want to take a look in TeamViewer ?
