(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); this it a very quick script i made, very usefull to.
basically what it does, it checks every player for every time a SetText is set and counts it.

the maximum strings to be set is something like 374, but i made it 350 just incase.
you will need to do some tweeks to your menu, but they are very simple.

add this to your open menu code & sub menus.

    

self notify( "menu_open" );

add this to any of your welcome messages, only custom oldNotifyMessage's.

    

self notify( "oldNotify" );

and also add this to any custom text you have, such as doHearts.

    

self notify( "custom_text" );

now you want to thread this on spawn, thread it once.. so above the for statement onPlayerSpawned.
here's an example incase you get confused.

    

onPlayerSpawned()

{

	[COLOR="#FF0000"]level thread StringCheck();[/COLOR]

	for(;

	{

		self waittill( "spawned_player" );

		// DO NOT THREAD IT HERE!

		if(!isdefined(self.hud_rankscroreupdate))

		{

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate = newClientHudElem(self);

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.horzAlign = "center";

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.vertAlign = "middle";

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.alignX = "center";

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.alignY = "middle";

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.x = 0;

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.y = -60;

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.font = "default";

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.fontscale = 2.0;

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.archived = false;

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate.color = ( randomFloat(1), randomFloat(1), randomFloat(1));

			self.hud_rankscroreupdate maps\mp\gametypes\_hud::fontPulseInit();

		}

	}

}

if you dont know what ive done there i've added

    

[COLOR="#FF0000"]level thread StringCheck();[/COLOR]

and now you want to add this somewhere.

    

StringCheck()

{

	for( level.string["count"] = 0;; )

	{

		for( x=0; x<level.players.size; x++ )

		{

			level.players[x] waittill_any( "menu_open", "oldNotify", "custom_text" );

			level.string["count"]++;

			if( level.string >= 350 )

			{

				level.players[x] iPrintln( "^1Game is restarting due to a high string count!" );

				level.players[x] freezeControls( true );

				wait 1;

				map_restart( false );

			}

		}

		wait .5;

	}

}

this is very useful, although you may think you menu's dont overflow.. they actually will after so long.

I know this may be a dumb question, but is there a way to just remove the text after it is deleted without restarting. like deleting the cache or something lol

nope, it sticks to the level.. although the variable for the text is destroyed, it's still in the level.. once it's set it cant be destroyed neither deleted which a map restart is a simple solution.

PS: theres not such thing as a dumb question.

That's pretty nice, and very creative!

looks nice
glad to see you use your brains (for a change :carling: )

DoEs ThiS MEAn We HAz 4.0 JailBreAk Now!!!???? :derp:

I'm sorry to say it but this will not work...
You only count how many times a string appears on the screen. However the game doesn't care how many times a string appears. For example the following setText() will never make the game to overflow.

    for(i=0; i<2147483647; i++) Display setText("My Text Here"); // Never overflows 

But
The game cares how many DIFFERENT setText() you use! For example:

    for(i=0; i<50; i++) Display setText("^" + i + "My Text Here"); // Overflows when i reaches 30 - max Different strings limit for COD4 

This is because COD4 engine supports up to 30 different strings to be displayed in each game... The only way not to make it overflow is to use println() or use less than 30 text strings (including Progress Bars messages & every type of HUD Messages)
So if you want to make a counter for strings you must raise it up by one only every time a new string appears, so it will not count again the same strings...

Not bad. My solution is in my menu base. i use 1 hud element and check the character length.

there's another more basic reason why this won't work.....

whats the point in that :/
