[HELP] dxEdit

[N3xT]

Hello guys,

I am trying to do a " dxEdit ", I try that but it doesn't work.

local text = {} 
  
addEventHandler("onClientCharacter", root, 
    function (c) 
        table.insert(text,c) 
    end ) 
  
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function () 
        dxDrawText(#text, 654, 354, 778, 377, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, f2, "left", "top", true, true, true, true, true) 
    end ) 

when I press anything I got a " numbers " in the dxText,

example, when I type hello, I got a number 5.

so How to fix it ?

Because you're trying to get how many values in the table

You need to use the loop.

[Captain Cody]

    local text = "" 
      
    addEventHandler("onClientCharacter", root, 
        function (c) 
            text = text..c 
        end ) 
      
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
        function () 
            dxDrawText(text, 654, 354, 778, 377, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, f2, "left", "top", true, true, true, true, true) 
        end )

or you can use this:

addEventHandler ("onClientRender", root, 
     function () 
          dxDrawText(table.maxn (text), 654, 354, 778, 377, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, f2, "left", "top", true, true, true, true, true) 
     end 
)

Thanks all

[N3xT]

    local text = "" 
      
    addEventHandler("onClientCharacter", root, 
        function (c) 
            text = text..c 
        end ) 
      
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
        function () 
            dxDrawText(text, 654, 354, 778, 377, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, f2, "left", "top", true, true, true, true, true) 
        end ) 

It's working, but how I can delete the last value?

bindKey("backspace", "down", function () 
  text = "" 
end) 

or I just can delete all the values ?

same error.

CodyL your code will not work

pairs? local in this for block?

local text = "" 
  
bindKey ( "backspace", "down", function ()  
    if text ~= "" then 
        string.sub ( text, 1, #text - 1 ) 
    end 
end ) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientCharacter", root, function ( key ) 
    text = text .. key 
end ) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, function ()  
    dxDrawText ( text, ... ) 
end )

It's only writing, nothing in debug

[Captain Cody]

I'm sorry I wasn't thinking about that at the time, try this

     
    local text = "" 
      
    bindKey ( "backspace", "down", function () 
        if text ~= "" then 
            string.sub ( text, 1, #text - 1 ) 
        end 
    end ) 
      
    addEventHandler ( "onClientCharacter", root, function ( key ) 
    if not key == "backspace" then 
        text = text .. key 
    end 
    end ) 
      
    addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, function () 
        dxDrawText ( text, 654, 354, 778, 377, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, f2, "left", "top", true, true, true, true, true) 
    end )

Now I can't write

I expected you to fill the dxDrawText

Ok, now it's writing but can't delete the text

[Bonus]

Hmm ... normally I don't use bindKey there, I use onClientKey.

Test this:

local text = "" 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientKey", root, function ( button, press ) 
    if press then 
        if button == "tab" then 
            text = text .. "\n" 
        elseif button == "backspace" then 
            if #text > 0 then 
                string.sub ( text, 1, #text - 1 ) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end ) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientCharacter", root, function ( key ) 
    text = text .. key 
end ) 
  
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, function () 
     dxDrawText ( text, 654, 354, 778, 377, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1, f2, "left", "top", true, true, true, true, true) 
end ) 

[N3xT]

same, can't delete anything

[Bonus]

Lets try this

addEventHandler ( "onClientKey", root, function ( button, press )  
    if press and button == "backspace" then 
        outputChatBox ( "Test" ) 
    end 
end ) 

Put this in and try to delete like you normally do.

Do you get an output in the chat?

[N3xT]

Yes, I got "Test"

[Ab-47]

Yes, I got "Test"

I've done some research, found out some of you guys's biggest mistake

Replace: string.sub ( text, 1, #text - 1 )

with

  
text = string.sub ( text, 1, #text - 1 ) 
  

should work perfectly.

[N3xT]

^ Thanks, now it's working

[Bonus]

Oh god, I'm fucking blind ...

Hahaha

[Ab-47]

Haha don't worry, it's the smallest mistakes that you cant see even when they're right infront of your eyes, it's what used to happen to me when I was an amateur in coding

Good-luck on your code N3xT, was happy to help.
