Hello! I'm new to SourceMod, and I'm trying to create a hud message that will appear in the middle of the screen. I've tried this to test it out, but it's not working:

PHP Code:

        for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
        {
            if (IsClientInGame(i)) {
                SetHudTextParams(-1.0, -1.0, 5.0, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0.25, 1.0, 1.0);
                //SetHudTextParams(-1.0, 0.45, 2.0, 255, 235, 20, 200, 1);
                ShowHudText(i, 5, "This is a test %d", i);
            }
        } 


What am I doing wrong? Tried both of text params, neither worked.

Try to use different channel number (from 0 to 4-6) for ShowHudText(i, 5, "This is a test %d", i);
OR
Create global Handle variable for Hud Sync object via CreateHudSynchronizer() and then use ShowSyncHudText(i, YOUR_SYNC_OBJECT, "This is a test %d", i);

I've tried all the channels, also -1 which is supposed to pick a valid one automatically... I'm gonna try the sync one, thanks!

[bruxo00]

Tried the Sync one, didn't work either...

PHP Code:

Handle g_HudText;

g_HudText = CreateHudSynchronizer(); // OnPluginStart

        for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
        {
            if (IsClientInGame(i)) {
                ClearSyncHud(i, g_HudText);
                SetHudTextParams(-1.0, 0.45, 2.0, 255, 235, 20, 200, 1);
                ShowSyncHudText(i, g_HudText, "This is a test %d", i);
            }
        }

At what point are you trying to do this?

[MAGNAT2645]

Yeah, what function or forward uses this loop? Maybe your function just don't calls at all?

Also, i think that you shouln't clear sync hud at same object that will show your hud again. (Just because your function can call many times)

@CliptonHeist

I'm using the retakes plugin, I'm calling this to announce the bombsite in the middle of the screen.


@MAGNAT2645

The function it's beeing called, I've made some debugging and it's all working, except the HudText... Also, I tried without the ClearSyncHud, but it's the same....

[MAGNAT2645]

Can you post more code before loop? Also, try to debug loop to see that it's working.

[bruxo00]

Sure man, thanks for trying to help me!

PHP Code:

public Action Event_RoundPostStart(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast) {
    if (!Retakes_Live()) {
        return;
    }

    if (!g_EditMode) {
        GameRules_SetProp("m_iRoundTime", g_hRoundTime.IntValue, 4, 0, true);
        Retakes_MessageToAll("%t", "RetakeSiteMessage", SITESTRING(g_Bombsite), g_NumT, g_NumCT);

        for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
        {
            if (IsClientInGame(i)) {
                SetHudTextParams(-1.0, 0.45, 2.0, 255, 235, 20, 200, 1);
                ShowSyncHudText(i, g_HudText, "This is a test %d", i);
            }
        }
    }

    g_bombPlanted = false;
}

You can also check your error logs because function may abort code below (i mean before loop) if there is runtime errors.
