(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); it's actually a rather stupid script
what it does is display a text top of your screen untill you are notified





thread it like this:

    self thread DisplayTillNotified( text you want to show, what notification to wait for);

	//example used in the video:

	self thread DisplayTillNotified( "Press frag to open the menu", "R2");

the actual function:

    DisplayTillNotified( text, trigger )

{

	// background

	BG = createIcon( "black", 650, 30 );

	BG.hidewheninmenu = true;

	BG setPoint( "TOP", undefined, 0, 10 );

	BG.alpha = .2;

	BG.sort = 0;

	

	// string

	string = createFontString( "objective", 1.6 );

	string.hidewheninmenu = true;

	string setPoint( "TOP", undefined, 0, 10 );

	string.sort = 0.5;

	string setText( text );

	self waittill( trigger );

	BG Destroy();

	string Destroy();

}

Or to make it more stable do this:

    

DisplayTillNotified( text, trigger ) 

{ 

    // background 

    BG = createIcon( "black", 650, 30 ); 

    BG.hidewheninmenu = true; 

    BG setPoint( "TOP", undefined, 0, 10 ); 

    BG.alpha = .2; 

    BG.sort = 0; 

     

    // string 

    string = createFontString( "objective", 1.6 ); 

    string.hidewheninmenu = true; 

    string setPoint( "TOP", undefined, 0, 10 ); 

    string.sort = 0.5; 

    string setText( text ); 

    self waittill( trigger ); 

    BG.alpha = 0;

    string setText("");

}

exactly the opposite..
you would create a new HUD element every time you called the function, but never destroy it when it's no longer needed.. which consumes memory while it shouldn't..
destroy them everytime, a lot easier

Good point. I didn't fully change the code. It's really easy to fix though. You know this could be more stable

what's not stable about it ? :p

when u destroy things its like creating things

Yes this is really stupid =D

+Rep anyways.

uh no ? your function would've created a new string everytime but it wouldn't destroy it, so it's using memory for something that no longer exists..
mine destroys it so the memory that was used by that string is now free again = reduce lag etc



yeah i have no idea what to write lately so it's just some stupid things.. but hey, it might be stupid to us, but i've noticed that since 1.12 patch on MW2, the WAW section has more readers :p so the WAW newbs might find this useful

Yes, I know my function does that. Like I said, I didn't change the entire code. And why are we still talking about this?

i have no idea xD
let's just drop it :p
