Hi Everyone

 

Currently writing a script mod for GTA IV (More details to follow), I've been using the Scripthook 1.7.1.7b SDK and Visual Studio 2013, Ive got the general grasp of creating a script, loading it in game and performing different functions but cant seem to work out how to display in game messages.

 

Ive found the Game.DisplayText("Message Here") tag which works, but was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as to how to create in game messages such as the ones below from LCPDFR which look like the standard in game messages?

 

 

 

Thanks

this will help you I guess.

 

To print a text you can use:

1) GTA.Game.DisplayText(text)/GTA.Game.DisplayText(text, time)

2) GTA.Graphics.DrawText()

 

The welcome message of LCPD:FR uses a function LCPD_First_Response.LCPDFR.API.Functions.PrintHelp(text).

 

To customize your in-game texts you can use gxt tags:

...and search "Coloring Your Text" section.

 

Good luck!

Native.Function.Call("DRAW_CURVED_WINDOW", 0.1, 0.11, 0.2, 0.25, 200)  (can't change window color only its size and offsets use "DRAW_RECT" instead)

Native.Function.Call("DRAW_RECT", 0.5000, 0.5000, 1.0000, 1.0000, 0, 0, 0, 167)

Native.Function.Call("PRINT_STRING_WITH_LITERAL_STRING_NOW, "string", text, 5000, true)

void Text()
        {
            Function.Call("SET_TEXT_FONT", 1);
            Function.Call("SET_TEXT_BACKGROUND", 0);
            Function.Call("SET_TEXT_SCALE", 0.35, 0.65);
            Function.Call("SET_TEXT_COLOUR", 255, 0, 0, 255);
            Function.Call("SET_TEXT_EDGE", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
            Function.Call("SET_TEXT_RIGHT_JUSTIFY", 0);
            Function.Call("SET_TEXT_DROPSHADOW", 0, 255, 255, 255, 255);
        }

no need for lcpdfr advanced api
