Title: District Name
Post by: ZX_Lost_Soul on November 06, 2013, 11:52:41 pm
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]
/* District Name  ||  Author: ZX_Lost_Soul  ||  Free to use
That script displays a name of current district on the left bottom corner of the screen, under radar */

local plr=FindLocalPlayer();
local CurDistrict;

// Initializing
function onScriptLoad() {
DistrictName <- GUILabel(VectorScreen(20, ScreenHeight-45), ScreenSize(100,3), "Welcome");
DistrictName.FontName="Tahoma";
DistrictName.FontSize=18;
DistrictName.TextColour=Colour(255, 123, 0);
AddGUILayer(DistrictName);
NewTimer("district_name_upd", 2500, 0);
}

// District name update
function district_name_upd() {
local pos=plr.Pos;
local dis=GetDistrictName(pos.x, pos.y);
if(CurDistrict!=dis) {
DistrictName.Text=dis;
CurDistrict=dis;
  }
}

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 )

Why on earth would you translate names :P


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

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)

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...
