[Release] Easy Text Functions \w No Overflows/Crashes

[[WhA]4FunPlayin]

These are functions, not a gametype, don't ask how to play or where are the files.

This is really good and easy to use, best of all no overflows

Few examples:


Functions for creating text:

createText(TextID, Text, textSize, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)
destroyText(TextID)
renameText(TextID, Text)
replaceText(TextID, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)
resizeText(TextID, newFont)

createText(TextID, Text, textSize, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)

TextID - must be different each time you create text, it's the ID for the text.
Text - the text itself
testSize - basically text size
Place1 - place, where at? "TOP", "CENTER" etc
place2 - same
offset1 - offset?
offset2 - same

destroyText(TextID)

The text ID to be destroyed.

renameText(TextID, Text)

TextID - the text ID to rename
Text - new text

replaceText(TextID, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)

TextID - the text ID to put in new place
place1/place2 - TOP/CENTER etc..
offset1/2 - offset?

resizeText(TextID, newFont)

TextID - the text ID to resize
newFont - new size for the text

Examples:

self thread createText(0, "^2Sup Dawg", 2.5, "CENTER", "CENTER", 50, 50);
self thread createText(1, "^2I am cool", 2.5, "CENTER", "CENTER", 150, 150);
wait 5;
self thread renameText(0, "^1I AM AWESOME!");
self thread renameText(1, "^5To bad.");
self thread resizeText(1, 14);

Functions for creating numbers (just like text, but use it if it's number only)

createNumber(NumberID, Number, numberSize, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2, color)
createNumber(NumberID, Number, numberSize, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2, colorz)
replaceNumber(NumberID, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)
resizeNumber(NumberID, newFont)

createNumber(NumberID, Number, numberSize, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2, color)

NumberID - Must be different for each time you create it. Note: if you created a text with the same ID as the number, it wouldn't matter.
Number - basically the number to write
numberSize - number size
Place1/2 - CENTER/TOP
offset1/2 - offset
color - the color itself. Note: must be a character, like "blue" or "green" and etc.

renameNumber(NumberID, Number, color)

NumberID - the number ID to rename
Number - new number to write
color - the color itself. Note: must be a character, like "blue" or "green" and etc.

replaceNumber(NumberID, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)

NumberID - the number ID to replace
Place1/2 - CENTER/TOP etc
offset1/2 - offset

resizeNumber(NumberID, newFont)

NumberID - the number ID to resize
newFont - new size for the number


Examples:

self thread createNumber(0, 137, 2.5, "CENTER", "CENTER", 50, 50, "green");
wait 5;
self thread renameNumber(0, 1337, "red");
self thread resizeNumber(0, 12);

Things that you should know:

1. If you use a number and a text, and both have the same ID, it won't matter.
2. Just need to createText/Number without setting stuff blablabla.
3. Text/Number will auto remove from screen when you die.

Enjoy!

you wouldn't of posted this if you never looked in my mod :P

none the less, gj

[[WhA]4FunPlayin]

setValue is from your mod only

[spiritwo]

wow really helpful, should be stickied

[Dr.Ballsack]

How will this help me? Honestly, please explain!

[[WhA]4FunPlayin]

• No overflows.
• 1 line instead 3 to create a text.
• can be used in any thread, it has an ID, so if you create it in _rank.gsc, you can remove it in _weapons.gsc, I mean can be used globally.
• JUST EASIER K?

[candyface]

nice

[cgallagher21]

Yes Very helpful indeed
/Sticky?

How about some prettier text?

[TheLynx]

How about some prettier text?

Don't think its easy to do/possible

[[WhA]4FunPlayin]

How about some prettier text?

What is that

[shotyoudie]

If u count up with numbers or something. and u count from 0 to 300 and it's not crashing it works. I'm going to test it thx !

Here is a nice little way you can easy add this to a mod:
1. Save the following as _textfunc.gsc and put it in maps\mp\gametypes:
[php]#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\mp\_utility;
#include maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_util;

createText(TextID, Text, textSize, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)
{
self.fastText = spawnstruct();

game["strings"]["CustomText"][TextID] = Text;

precacheString(game["strings"]["CustomText"][TextID]);

self.fastText.ie[TextID] = game["strings"]["CustomText"][TextID];

self.NewText[TextID] = self createFontString( "default", textSize );

self.NewText[TextID] setPoint( Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2);

self.NewText[TextID] setText(self.fastText.ie[TextID]);

self thread destroyOnDeath(self.NewText[TextID]);
}

destroyText(TextID)
{
self.NewText[TextID] destroy();
}

renameText(TextID, Text)
{
self.fastText.ie[TextID] = Text;

self.NewText[TextID] setText(self.fastText.ie[TextID]);
}

replaceText(TextID, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)
{
self.NewText[TextID] setPoint(Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2);
}

resizeText(TextID, newFont)
{
self.NewText[TextID].fontScale = newFont;
}

createNumber(NumberID, Number, numberSize, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2, colorz)
{
self.fastNumber = spawnstruct();
self.fastNumber.ie[NumberID] = Number;

self.NewNumber[NumberID] = self createFontString( "default", numberSize );

self.NewNumber[NumberID] setPoint( Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2);

self.NewNumber[NumberID] setValue(Number);

self thread destroyOnDeath(self.NewNumber[NumberID]);

/*
1, 0, 0 red
0, 1, 0 green
0, 0, 1 blue
1, 1, 0 yellow
1, 0, 1 pink
0, 1, 1 cyan
1, 1, 1 white
0, 0, 0 black
*/

switch(colorz)
{
case "red":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 0, 0);
break;

case "green":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (0, 1, 0);
break;

case "blue":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (0, 0, 1);
break;

case "yellow":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 1, 0);
break;

case "pink":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 0, 1);
break;

case "cyan":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (0, 1, 1);
break;

case "white":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 1, 1);
break;

case "black":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (0, 0, 0);
break;

default:
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 1, 1);
break;
}
}

renameNumber(NumberID, Number, colorz)
{
self.NewNumber[NumberID] setValue(Number);

switch(colorz)
{
case "red":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 0, 0);
break;

case "green":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (0, 1, 0);
break;

case "blue":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (0, 0, 1);
break;

case "yellow":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 1, 0);
break;

case "pink":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 0, 1);
break;

case "cyan":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (0, 1, 1);
break;

case "white":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (1, 1, 1);
break;

case "black":
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = (0, 0, 0);
break;

default:
self.NewNumber[NumberID].color = self.NewNumber[NumberID].color;
break;
}
}

replaceNumber(NumberID, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)
{
self.NewNumber[NumberID] setPoint(Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2);
}

resizeNumber(NumberID, newFont)
{
self.NewNumber[NumberID].fontScale = newFont;
}

destroyOnDeath(obj)
{
self waittill("death");
obj destroy();
}
[/php]

2. At the start of the file you want to use these functions in, add this:
[php]#include maps\mp\gametypes\_textfunc;[/php]

Now you can use the text functions without making your GSC look messy!
[php]self thread createText(0, "Yay, you are a genius!", 1, "TOPRIGHT", "TOPRIGHT", 0, -10)[/php]

-----------------------------------
You should allow an option to change the font (optional), something like this:
[php]createText(TextID, Text, textSize, font, Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2)
{
self.fastText = spawnstruct();

game["strings"]["CustomText"][TextID] = Text;

precacheString(game["strings"]["CustomText"][TextID]);

self.fastText.ie[TextID] = game["strings"]["CustomText"][TextID];

if(isDefined(font))
self.NewText[TextID] = self createFontString( font, textSize );
else
self.NewText[TextID] = self createFontString( "default", textSize );

self.NewText[TextID] setPoint( Place1, Place2, offset1, offset2);

self.NewText[TextID] setText(self.fastText.ie[TextID]);

self thread destroyOnDeath(self.NewText[TextID]);
}

changeFont(NumberID, newFont)
{
self.NewNumber[NumberID].font = newFont;
}
[/php]

Fonts:
- default
- bighud
- bigfixed
- hudbig
- smallfixed
- objective
- arial

[alistair4322]

Don't think its easy to do/possible

Change the font to arial

Nice release. But this will only work with numbers. If you use strings (text) it will overflow. Btw in your video the title is east text :P
