CLEO Help Timing Issues

[ItsRobinson]

So basically I have a section of code inside my while true loop that is supposed to check if a variable is less than 3, if it is then delete a textdraw if it matches the specific criteria, it is only supposed to do this 3 times.
(Basically trying to delete 3 textdraws that make up a server-side healthbar on HZG)

I could delete them via the textdraw specific ID's, but as I have tried that before, the IDs changed on rare occasions. So it isn't an option, the textdraw isn't a valid character either so I can't use the exact string match.

while true
wait 0

    if
        3@ < 3
    then
        alloc 2@ 125
        FOR 1@ = 0 TO 2500
            0C5A: samp textdraw 1@ get_string_to 2@
            0C17: 0@ = strlen 2@
            if 0@ < 2
            then
                if 
                    0C14: strcmp string1 2@ string2 "'"
                then
                    continue
                else
                    0C5E: samp textdraw 1@ delete
                    000A: 3@ += 1  
                end
            end
               
        END
        free 2@
    end
//rest of my code follows

If I'm not wrong, this should try and execute this until the 3@ = 3, however, if I don't log in quick enough, it stops looping this, as you can see in the video below.

Any ideas?

there is a range of sampfuncs opcodes that could help you to select and delete the right textdraws, for example:
0C5B: samp textdraw 0@ get_pos 1@ 2@
0C53: samp textdraw 0@ get_box_enabled 1@ color 2@ size 3@ 4@

You could create a mod (e.g. activated by key press) that will print the position (add to chat opcode), "box_enabled", color and size of all textdraws.
Then check the chatlog trying to find the ones that create the HP bar. Then keep the loop going instead of stopping it if 3@ gets over some value, do something like:

while true
    for all_textdraws
        if and
            x_size == 1st_HP_TEXTDRAW_X_SIZE
            y_size == 1st_HP_TEXTDRAW_y_SIZE
            x_pos == 1st_HP_TEXTDRAW_X_POS
            y_pos == 1st_HP_TEXTDRAW_Y_POS
            color = 1st_HP_TEXTDRAW_COLOR
        then
            delete textdraw
        end
       
        if and
            x_size == 2nd_HP_TEXTDRAW_X_SIZE
            y_size == 2nd_HP_TEXTDRAW_y_SIZE
            x_pos == 2nd_HP_TEXTDRAW_X_POS
            y_pos == 2nd_HP_TEXTDRAW_Y_POS
            color = 2nd_HP_TEXTDRAW_COLOR
        then
            delete textdraw
        end
    end
end

This way you won't accidentally delete some other useful textdraw, also you'll delete the desired textdraws even if they're "respawned".

Btw I guess that the position check itself would be sufficient (no need for 5 checks) but you get the idea

I tried simply just a position check and it seemed to crash or just not delete the text draw, but I’ll give this idea a try in a little while and let you know how I get on

Server ip?

Server ip?

samp.hzgaming.net:7777

Basically the server has a server-sided health bar that messes up and covers your full HUD or just looks terrible for people with different resolutions and widescreen, so I made a LUA mod for the server a few months back and now I'm simply translating that mod to CLEO as many people have struggled to get the LUA mod to work.

    for 1@ = 0 to 2304
        if 0C5D: samp textdraw 1@ is_exists
        then
            0C5B: samp textdraw 1@ get_pos 2@ 3@
            0C53: samp textdraw 1@ get_box_enabled 4@ color 5@ size 6@ 7@
            if and
            0043: 2@ == 610.010010
            0043: 3@ == 68.250000
            5@ == 0xFF000000
            then
                0C5E: samp textdraw 1@ delete
            end
            if and         
            0043: 2@ == 608.010010
            0043: 3@ == 70.250000
            5@ == 0xFF5a0c10
            then
                0C5E: samp textdraw 1@ delete
            end
            if and
            0043: 2@ == 563.367126
            0043: 3@ == 70.250000
            5@ == 0xFFb51821
            then
                0C5E: samp textdraw 1@ delete
            end
        end
    end

This worked perfectly.

Many thanks to you both @monday @Parazitas
