DrawTextCenter

[J-Factor]

Script Name: DrawTextCenter
Script Description: Just like DrawText but automatically centers the text.
Original Author(s): Me
Core Version: 2.6.1
Code:
In order to center the text I used a script to find the width of each character in the default font (Bank Gothic Lt BT) and stored it in a global array called TextWidth.

Code: [Select]

var
TextWidth : Array[32..127] of Single;

procedure ActivateServer();

if ((c > 31) and (c < 128)) then

end;
end;

DrawText(ID, Text, Delay, Color, Scale, 320 - Round(TotalWidth*Scale/2), 240 - Round(Height*Scale/2));

Example:

Code: [Select]

DrawTextCenter(ID, 'nob', 300, $FFFF0000, 1);

Um... Do you mean center of the screen? I think it can already do that... Just add some spaces... But I guess this could be more useful...

Um... Do you mean center of the screen? I think it can already do that... Just add some spaces... But I guess this could be more useful...

I wrote this script for dynamic messages that vary in length. For example the names of player classes in my script range from extremely small ("Spy") to much longer ("Magician") - adding a few static spaces isn't going to center these two messages.

Plus it's a lot easier than second guessing a few extra spaces, more precise and flexible (if you used spaces and you changed the text you'd have to modify the number of spaces).

Yeah, this is a huge script that has no real point .

nice script - exactly what i need

I like the idea but, to be honest, I don't like the script. Use only one functions and no globals and get rid of that HUGE list and I may just use it
