Add this where the HUD for menu is created:
self.cmtext = createFontString("default", "1.8");
basically make this when your menu updates, or wherever you init your menu.
add this:
self thread countMods();
here is the actually snippet
countMods()
{
self endon("death");
self endon("disconnect");
for(i = self.myCurz; i < self.menText.size
{
self.cmtext setText("Mod :" + self.myCurz[i] + "/" + self.menText.size);
}
}
now you have to notice some things.
self.cmtext = the current mod text, leave that alone.
myCurz is the cursor option which is hovered over. or the option going to be called. Look in the menu base and you find this out. usually named mCurs, or mOpt
self.menText.size is the max amount of your menu, it should also be called something different. mText, or iText etc.. this is your actuall names of your mods in your menu.
use this however, and thanks or reading this tut! :y:

It shouldn't, it destroys before it recreates. And I use it in my patch and never got an overflow.
It basically prints on screen your current mod option your on.
Mod: 4 out of 20
20 being the size Of the menu,
Just something new for this section

what if you create the text on player connect, and then just setText.
that would not overflow :3

yes, but it's only creating one text string. so how would it overflow?
it just updates the text, not creating a whole new string, and if you use setData, or setNumber or something like that you can have tons, and no overflow.

Everytime you change the color using ^(THEN A NUMBER) or change the text it creates a new text string.
