SelectTextDraw issues - SA-MP Forums

Issue 1
Using Zamarohts textdraw editor, made a TD, enabled box, when I change the X size of the box though, it has no affect, so I have no visual idea of where the clickable area is? Textdraw was centered, if that makes any difference. Is there any way to sort this?

Issue 2
If you hover over a textdraw then press ESC it doesn't revert back to the original color.

clickable area = text size.

MP2 · 20/03/2012, 04:19 PM

Did you read my post properly? I said that you can't SEE the clickable area, so it's impossible to get it exactly right.

Here are some pictures for an example:

10, 60 and 120 units on the X box size, but it doesn't re-size the box, but the clickable area is still affected.

have you tried putting characters inside the textdraw that's clickable? - to make it bigger

Rac3r · 20/03/2012, 04:48 PM

Use box, box colour black, then try it.

MP2 · 20/03/2012, 04:51 PM

That's what I have done. It makes it as big as the text inside it. Those pics are with a space as the text.

Here is another picture:

The map and the box are the exact same X TextDrawTextSize value, but the box is only as tall as the text.

I'm not really sure what can be done to fix this, as textdraws are built in to GTA: SA, but in my mind if I set the X value to 100, the box should be 100 high, not as high as the text.

Another bug: If youUse SelectTextDraw a few times without canceling, the mouse will "die", if you press tab it won't show and SelectTextDraw won't work anymore.

Test it by reloading this filterscript a few times: http://meta.spitnex.de/download/tdselect.pwn

Yeah, it's something that I've always wondered in Zamaroth's editor.

SpiritEvil · 20/03/2012, 07:15 PM

It is not the editor's fault. The box' length is equal to the length of the text, but you still need to edit the box' Y value (even though it doesn't affect anything visually) so the SelectTextDraw can work properly. Also, if you want an empty box (without text in it) use "_" as the textdraw's string.

That's not relevant.
