Messages across screen?

[BRADEN]

How do you make messages come across the screen on joining the server? I know nothing about scripting so help pls. 

[Railor]

Code: [Select]

const
WelcomeMessage = 'Welcome to ..';

procedure OnJoinTeam(ID, Team: byte);
begin
DrawText(ID,WelcomeMessage,360,RGB(255,0,0),0.15,40,240);
end;


[BRADEN]

I just did that, and now the server won't start.

[Boblekonvolutt]

It should work...

It does work. (for me)

[BRADEN]

Where do you put it then?

BTW here's what I've done:

DrawText(ID, WelcomeMessage, 360, RGB(255,0,0), 0.15, 40, 240);

Should be as simple as that.

OK I added ID now, but still. When I click the server the Command Prompt thing comes up and then closes instantly.

Make your way in cmds through the folders to the soldatserver.exe and open it
So you ll be able to read the errors...like wrong bracked used ;P ( '(' not '<'  )
If you are as lazy as i, You can make a batch file which open it

Just type that lines in editor and save it as *.bat
You can type relative directories and add parameters.
eg:

myfiles\soldatserver\soldatserver.exe -safe 0 -sl 0


ahh BTW If you want to write your message over more lines you can use "chr(13)+chr(10)"

BRADEN, maybe you should learn some basic pascal syntax before trying to actually code something

[Boblekonvolutt]

(Do you have two OnJoinTeam()'s?)

[BRADEN]

I did use '(' but in the pascal program it looks like a '<'. Also I don't see two join teams?

[Boblekonvolutt]

Maybe you should attach a copy of the file... It's hard to guess what's wrong.

[Avarax]

put the const and the line below it above all other stuff.

I did use '(' but in the pascal program it looks like a '<'. Also I don't see two join teams?

I don't know, but in the line where you used "drawtext" it really seem to be a "<" and not a "(" ...
but I'm not a compiler

[BRADEN]

OMFG! ENOVA! I got confused about the way ( look and started using <'s. Thanks you guys. Stupid program lol.

Dont double click the server icon, but run it through a command shell instead. That way you'll be able to see the pascal interpretors error messages
