Moving string from function to function

[kPkPT]

Hey guys,

so i got two functions, and i want it to be that when i call the first one with a string as an argument, that one calls the second one with the same string. That is not happening, the string the second one receives is "16" or "17" always. Here's the code

function animateDX(text)
	w1 = w1 -10
	dxDrawRectangle(w1, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.1224, screenH * 0.1083, tocolor(35, 35, 35, 255), false)
	addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",getRootElement(),animateDX)
	if(w1 < (screenW * 0.8776)) then
		dxText(text)
		removeEventHandler("onClientPreRender",getRootElement(),animateDX)
	end
end
animateDX("Information")


function dxText(text)
	dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.8776, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.1224, screenH * 0.1083, tocolor(35, 35, 35, 255), false)
	dxDrawText("Info", screenW * 0.8953, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.9807, screenH * 0.8093, tocolor(43, 155, 21, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "center", false, true, false, false, false)
	dxDrawText(text, screenW * 0.8927, screenH * 0.8185, screenW * 0.9859, screenH * 0.8759, tocolor(254, 255, 255, 255), 1.25, "sans", "center", "top", false, true, false, false, false)
	addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",getRootElement(),dxText)
	setTimer(function() removeEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,dxText) end,5000,1) 
	
end

You can do it like this:

local animateDXInformation = "Information"

function animateDX(text)
  	local text = animateDXInformation

	w1 = w1 - 10
	dxDrawRectangle(w1, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.1224, screenH * 0.1083, tocolor(35, 35, 35, 255), false)
	
	if(w1 < (screenW * 0.8776)) then
		enableDxText(text)
		removeEventHandler("onClientPreRender",getRootElement(),animateDX)
	end
end

addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",getRootElement(),animateDX)


function dxText()
  	local text = animateDXInformation
	dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.8776, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.1224, screenH * 0.1083, tocolor(35, 35, 35, 255), false)
	dxDrawText("Info", screenW * 0.8953, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.9807, screenH * 0.8093, tocolor(43, 155, 21, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "center", false, true, false, false, false)
	dxDrawText(text, screenW * 0.8927, screenH * 0.8185, screenW * 0.9859, screenH * 0.8759, tocolor(254, 255, 255, 255), 1.25, "sans", "center", "top", false, true, false, false, false)
end

function enableDxText ()
	addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",getRootElement(),dxText)
	setTimer(function() removeEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,dxText) end,5000,1) 
end

 

You will need to use variables outside of the function for that.

It is not exacly that i wanted. See this is going to be some kind of information system. So  i need to call it from other function with a desired string.

Okay so i got this now:

addEvent("animateDX",true)
function animateDX(message)
	if(w1 > (screenW * 0.8776)) then
	w1 = w1 -10
	dxDrawRectangle(w1, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.1224, screenH * 0.1083, tocolor(35, 35, 35, 255), false)
	addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",getRootElement(),animateDX)
	end
	if(w1 <= (screenW * 0.8776)) then
		dxDrawRectangle(screenW * 0.8776, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.1224, screenH * 0.1083, tocolor(35, 35, 35, 255), false)
		dxDrawText("Info", screenW * 0.8953, screenH * 0.7898, screenW * 0.9807, screenH * 0.8093, tocolor(43, 155, 21, 255), 1.00, "bankgothic", "center", "center", false, true, false, false, false)
		dxDrawText(message, screenW * 0.8927, screenH * 0.8185, screenW * 0.9859, screenH * 0.8759, tocolor(254, 255, 255, 255), 1.25, "sans", "center", "top", false, true, false, false, false)
		setTimer(function() removeEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,animateDX) end,5000,1) 
	end
end
addEventHandler("animateDX",root,animateDX)

Still does not work. If i try to call animateDX("something") for example it won't show "something" in the dxDrawText. WHy?

When executing dx functions, it will render the result for ONE frame. In order to keep showing the result, you have to attach an addEventHandler that triggers on 'onClientRender", which will execute the code every frame.
