That script displays a name of current district on the left bottom corner of the screen, under radar. Can be useful for RP servers.



That is client script.

Code: [Select]

local plr=FindLocalPlayer();
local CurDistrict;

// Initializing
function onScriptLoad() {

DistrictName.FontSize=18;
DistrictName.TextColour=Colour(255, 123, 0);
AddGUILayer(DistrictName);

// District name update

There's command for turn it on without any scripts...

What command?

p.s. Script is better anyway) You can make a translations of district names, for example, and show it on the player's language. You can doesn't show names of some districts. Or stylize color/font/position of this label )

[neocortex]

this script should be in every server, simple but usefull

You can make a translations of district names,

Why on earth would you translate names


Script seems good enough. I don't like timers, but I guess it's fine in this case.

Why not have it on onClientRender ?

Why not have it on onClientRender ?

Because doing inPoly (Which I guess is what getdistrictname does) a lot of time isn't going to end well on a wooden computer.

...not all words is the names. And it looks nicer at native language, if it has different alphabet)

Why not have it on onClientRender ?

1. Reason, described by Thijn.
2. If player walks on a district edge, you can see a label flickering - fast changing between two names. That's not good. 2,5 seconds update is optimal.

p.s. If using custom font...
