CLEO Help Questions about CLEO text_draw

DzkAy · Jun 7, 2014

So i've found some opcodes about text_draw i only understand a fewl so i have questions about it.

0. How to make a simple text_draw ?
1. How to get Screen-Coords?
2.Can you tell me what's opcode use to change text_draw's color ?
3.And things, notice , ... that i need to know about Text_draw in CLEO
4. I don't understand this well ( GXT .... )

Code:

07FC: text_draw_box_position_XY 145.0 275.0 GXT_reference 'BOAT_7' value 241@ flag 2  // Finish Time:
033E: set_draw_text_position 320.0 180.333 GXT 'BJ_PUSH'  // Push

Thanks in advance! :somuchwin:

Anyone?

Springfield is familiar with this more than myself or perhaps anyone here, so, wait for his input.

But, until then, I suggest getting GXTHook and NewOpcodes 2.0 and screwing around with it, it has some nice tutorials with it too, and you can pretty much do anything you wish with it (Textdraw related as well).

There are some examples in NewOpcodes 2.0 so i understand a bit ...
One question : Does GXTHook support for SA-MP ?

I mean create a text_draw that looks like zonetext.cs .. LOS SANTOS , LAS VENTURAS , .... or a Digital HP .. that show Player Health , Armor in texts

Justl like this :

I found many opcodes about text_draw but dont know how to create a simple text that shows like the above ... can someone give me an example ?

First, textdraws must be in a loop.
Second, font/size etc. must be put before drawing the textdraw.

Code:

{$CLEO}
wait 3000
0000: nop


:text
wait 0
03F0: enable_text_draw 1 
033F: set_text_draw_letter_size 1.0 3.0 // font size (height, width)
081C: draw_text_outline 1 RGBA 0 0 0 255 // text outilne (1/0)(RGBA) 
0340: set_text_draw_RGBA 255 255 255 255 // text color (RGBA)
0349: set_text_draw_font 3 // text font 0/1/2/3
033E: set_draw_text_position 320.0 180.333 GXT 'BJ_PUSH'  // Finally, showing the textdraw. First two parameters are position screen XY, second is GXT. You can only use GXT, not custom things like '%s' etc. (will explain more under)
jump @text // loop

If you want to use custom text in your font(like your name, car name etc.) you need to use a method called gxt hacking;

Code:

0AA8: call_function_method 0x6A0050 0xC1B340 num_params 1 pop 0 'BJ_PUSH' 1@
0AA5: call 0x718600 2 pop 2 1@ "springfield"

'BJ_PUSH' is the GXT you edit(you can use all other GXTs) now 'BJ_PUSH' = 'springfield', not 'PUSH"
"springfield" = the custom text, you can use 0AD3 with a dynamic text.
Like this;

Code:

0AD3: 2@ = "opcode is black"
0AA8: call_function_method 0x6A0050 0xC1B340 num_params 1 pop 0 'BJ_PUSH' 1@
0AA5: call 0x718600 2 pop 2 1@ 2@

Fonts are;

For numbers it the same, but you can use variables.

Code:

0226: 0@ = $player_actor HEALTH
045A: draw_text_1number posX posY GXT 'NUMBER' number 0@

With newOpcodes is even easier.

Code:

{$CLEO}
wait 3000
0000: nop
03F0: enable_text_draw 1

:text
wait 0
0AC8: 0@ = 260 // alocate memory for the text
0D4D: copy_string "opcode is black" to 0@ 
0ACD: show_text_hp 0@ time 10000
0AC9: 0@ // free memory
jump @text

If you use an older version of newOpcodes

Code:

0AD3: string 0@ = "opcode is black"
0D66: print 0@ at posX posY scale 0.6 0.8 style 1 prop TRUE align 0 wrap 600.0 justify FALSE color 255 0 0 255 outline 1 shadow 0 dropColor 0 0 0 255 background FALSE backColor 0 0 0 0

SAMPFUNCS text drawing;

Code:

{$CLEO}
wait 3000
0000: nop
03F0: enable_text_draw 1
0B6D: render 0@ = create_font "Arial" height 20 flags 0x04 // flags are text attributes(shadow, italic, underline etc.)
// 0@ = font 

:new
wait 0 
0B5A: get_screen_resolution 20@ 21@
20@ /= 2
21@ /= 2
0B6F: render font 0@ draw_text "opcode is black" pos 20@ 21@  color 0xFFC0FF01
20@ += 20
21@ += 20
0B6F: render font 0@ draw_text "wat, is this??" pos 20@ 21@ color 0xFFC0FF01
jump @new

Unlike the others, sampfuncs uses windows screen coords(desktop resolution) not game screen coords(640/480)
Use '0B6E: render release_font 0@' if you no longer need the font.
Flags are;

Code:

None = 0x0
Bold = 0x1
Italics = 0x2
Border = 0x4
Shadow = 0x8
Underline = 0x10
Striekout = 0x20

If you want 2/3 flags just add them 0x4+0x8=0x12

Thanks Springfield , you're awesome :somuchwin:

DzkAy · Jun 8, 2014

Would you mind if i ask you a few questions ?
- I dont get it well

Code:

20@ /= 2
21@ /= 2
20@ += 20
21@ += 20

And memories in newOpcodes ...

springfield · Jun 8, 2014

SAMPFUNCS uses window screen resolution. Like 1920x1080 so 20@ = 1920, 21@ = 1080, so in that example the text is in the middle of the screen, that's 1920/2(20@ /=2) and 1080/2(21@ /= 2) and the second text it's XY+20 so under the first text.

DzkAy · Jun 8, 2014

Ah now i understand ... i forgot to think about this "/ " , sorry ..
And how about the memories in newOpcodes text_draw ?

springfield · Jun 8, 2014

What memories?

DzkAy · Jun 8, 2014

Code:

0AC8: 0@ = 260 // alocate memory for the text
0AC9: 0@ // free memory

Here.
P/s: English is not my tongue language so sometimes i dont understand it correctly , sr..

@ = 4bytes = 4letters,
@v = @x4 = 16bytes = 16letters
So these are the normal variables memory allocation. If you want a variable to store a long text like "opcode is so black his momma lost him in the night" you need to allocate more memory for that variable.
