Is there any way to toggle a timerbar on and off without it duplicating?

public static void NewStart()
        {
            stop = false;
            SpeedoMeterMain();
        }

        public static void SpeedoMeterMain()
        {

            if(!stop)
            { 
                    Game.FrameRender += Process;
                    timerBarPool = new TimerBarPool();
                    SpeedText = new TextTimerBar("Speed", "0 km/h");
                    timerBarPool.Add(SpeedText);
                    ismade = true;
                
            }


        }

        public static void KillSpeedoMeter()
        {
            stop = true;
            timerBarPool.Remove(SpeedText);
            timerBarPool = null;
            SpeedText = null;
            
        }


        public static void Process(object sender, GraphicsEventArgs e)
        {
            if(stop) { return; }
            timerBarPool.Draw();
            SpeedText.Text = MathHelper.ConvertMetersPerSecondToKilometersPerHourRounded(Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Speed) + " km/h";


        }

I've been trying all kinds of methods but it just won't give in :p Any help is appreciated :)

Just swicthing the stop bool true/false should stop drawing the timerbar, no need to remove SpeedText from the pool and set the timerBarPool and SpeedText to null.

When you initialize the plugin create the timerbars and pool and if you want to have method to switch the stop bool, it could be something like this:
        public static void ToggleSpeedoMeter()
        {
            stop = !stop;
        }
The "!" symbol inverts a bool expression so if stop is true it will be false an viceversa.

That should work 

still no go sadly, Now it doesn't appear at all :)

[21/05/2016 00:39:03.525] KTools: Toggle: False

 

Nevermind, it would help if i added a call to SpeedoMeterMain() :p

So its the same problem all over with this, here's after toggling it 4 times (apologies for the pbrush quality :p)

It seems like it keeps adding new ones on top of it, thats why i tried to setting it to null and all that.

Are you calling SpeedoMeterMain somewhere? This is what creates everything.

        public static void ToggleSpeedoMeter()
        {
            stop = !stop;
            SpeedoMeterMain();
        }

 

fixed that now :p

but still the same duplication

Because each time you toggle the speedometer you create a new timer bar, SpeedoMeterMain must be called only once when the plugin is loaded in your Main method or the first time you toggle the speedo meter.

Every time you call SpeedoMeterMain(); you attach a new event handler to Game.FrameRender, without detaching the old one, thus drawing the TimerBar multiple times in one frame. You can detach the event handler in KillSpeedoMeter();

	Game.FrameRender -= Process;
