Any idea why this doesn't work?

[Rezil]

Code: Select all

start()

{
	for(;;)
	
	{
	
		players = getentarray("player", "classname");
		for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++) 
		
		{
			
		if ((!isdefined(players[i].reset)) && (isalive(players[i])))
			
			{
				
			players[i].reset = true;
			players[i].have_messhall_key = false;
			players[i] thread CruiseHUDStuff();
				
			}
		}
		wait 0.5;
	}
}

CruiseHUDStuff()

{

	if(!isdefined(self.objective_one))
	{
		
		self.objective_one = newclienthudelem(self);
		self.objective_one.x = 36;
		self.objective_one.y = 100;
		self.objective_one.allignx = "center";
		self.objective_one.alligny = "middle"; 
		self.objective_one.alpha = 1;
		self.objective_one.fontScale = 1; 	
		self.objective_one.color = (1, 1, 1);
		self.objective_one settext(&"blah.");
	}


	else if(!isdefined(self.objective_two))
	{

		self.objective_two = newclienthudelem(self);
		self.objective_two.x = 10;
		self.objective_two.y = 265;
		self.objective_two.allignx = "center";
		self.objective_two.alligny = "middle";
		self.objective_one.alpha = 1;
		self.objective_two.fontScale = 1; 	
		self.objective_two.color = (1, 1, 1);
		self.objective_two settext(&"blah2");
	}
}

Any clue as to why this doesn't display any text on the screen?

try doing "setValue(999)" to test if the HUD is being displayed correctly.
Not sure, but you may need to precache text.

Tried both, it DOES display value, it can also display shaders, tried precaching strings and they do show(as .label = &"text";), but that means I cannot change them via script anymore which is what I want.

What's more, using level.blah settext("text"); displays text correctly, setting it for one person doesn't...

level.hudtext = "Text";
self.hud setText(level.hudtext);

That is basically how it is done with the voting hud for the CJ mod.

Right, but the variable hudtext is global in your case, I want a variable only for one player.

The make it self.hudtext?

Tried it, doesn't work. I've made a workaround so it doesn't matter anymore. Thanks for trying to help.

No probs.
