(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); OK so I really don't like asking for help with a thread, but in this case I really am stumped. I have a code for scrolling text at the bottom of your screen, and I only want it to be viewed when the menu is up, and when the menu closes I would like it to be closed. So, this is was I came up with initially.

First here is the code for the Text:

    doTextScroll() 

{ 

self endon ( "disconnect" ); 

displayText = self createFontString( "objective", 2.0 ); 

self thread destroyOnDeath (displayText); 

i = 0; 

for( ;; ) 

{ 

if(i == 400) { 

i = -400; 

} 

displayText setPoint( "CENTER", "BOTTOM", i, 13); 

displayText setText("^6H^4A^1C^3K^5D^6A^4M^3E^2N's ^4New ^1Beast ^3Menu"); 

wait .01; 

i++; 

} 

}

So i added this to one of my .gsc's and i went to the missions menu and added in

    Self Thread doTextScroll();

to the openMenu() section.
I then presumed to figure out how to get it to close properly when the menu exited. I was thinking, and figured that I must just be able to notify it to close it. so I added this to the doTextScroll() function

    self endon ("EndTextScroll';

so now it looks like this...

    doTextScroll() 

{ 

self endon ( "disconnect" ); 

self endon ( "EndTextScroll" ); 

displayText = self createFontString( "objective", 2.0 ); 

self thread destroyOnDeath (displayText); 

i = 0; 

for( ;; ) 

{ 

if(i == 400) { 

i = -400; 

} 

displayText setPoint( "CENTER", "BOTTOM", i, 13); 

displayText setText("^6T^4T^1G^3M^5I^6K^4E^3Y^2S ^4New ^1Beast ^3Menu"); 

wait .01; 

i++; 

} 

Now, finally I added this to exitMenu()

    self notify("EndTextScroll");

Now onto the problem. When I open the menu, it opens correctly, as expected. However, when I close the menu, it only stops the text from scrolling, and the text is still there. I would then assume that you would use the code destroy() somehow, but I am rather new to this coding thing, and do not know how to apply it properly. It would be very appreciative if someone could help me out, as I know there are some very smart people on NGU.

Thanks so much I will (if I can) delete this post when I figure it out

try this:

Dunno if it works, just some thaught i had

Also it says you have

where is that thread?

well i would do this

Replace destroy on death to this

    

destroyOnDeath(element){

self endon("disconnect");

self waittill_any("death","EndDisplayText");

element destroy();

}

Regards

ok so i am having trouble locating the destroy on death thread, do you know were it would be in your v1 private patch?

No idea, just rename your destroyondeath to destroyondeath2

will work

Moved to questions.
