[REL]Top Chat Bar (Current Version: v1.4.1)

Information & Fetures:

Hi guys! Today i've made a top bar chat for the MTA community.

Please let me know what you think of this script, and rate it 5/5 on MTA community website! Community Link

The last message sent will have the darkest alpha, and every message lasts for 8 seconds. The maximum messages that it will show at a time is 5, and the lasting time + max messages are very easy to change. (can only be changed in the uncompiled code.)

Version 1.4:

- Replaced timers with getTickCount ( )

- Made it so the same messages can be showed more than once

It only supports RGB at the moment. Next update ill make it support HEX.

It's really nice script and with new bottom support It becomes awesome.

Sorry for flood.

There are 2 things you should done in new version. Firstly adding hex support. Secondly there should be argument for dissappering time.

Very nice!

Now nothing to add is needed Maybe you can make animations for rectangles.

Note: I dont know if its bug but you cant send the same message more than 1 time.

Eh animations are to difficult to do... And thats not a bug. It won't show the same message twice. I did it to prevent a bug that would have occurred.

Very nice!

Thanks
