If you are making a cleo mission or script yes

Maybe it depends. You can use a pointer if you can comprehend such things. Then the text is "hard coded" into your script.

 

 

//Text Block0A9F: [email protected] = current_thread_pointer [email protected] += 16 0A8D: [email protected] = read_memory [email protected] size 4 virtual_protect 0 [email protected] -= @TEXT [email protected] += 4 //Game Version Checkwait 00AA9:   is_game_version_originaljf @REALCOPS_200   0AA5: call 0x588BE0 num_params 4 pop 4 0 0 0 [email protected]   jump @REALCOPS_210:REALCOPS_200   0AA5: call 0x5893B0 num_params 4 pop 4 0 0 0 [email protected]   jump @REALCOPS_210:TEXT0900: unknown_set_object "You have about 30 seconds before this ~r~witness~w~ tells the cops." 0000: NOP //End Text Block:REALCOPS_210

 

 

Ok let's examine this code which I used in my "REAL cops mod".

 

The first line sets local variable [email protected] to the address where our script starts. The next 4 lines of code points at the :TEXT label. The next section checks the game version because the original stores the "text box" command at 0x5893B0 address and the other at 0x588BE0. So the line; 0AA5: call 0x5893B0 num_params 4 pop 4 0 0 0 [email protected] places the text line into the text box.

 

Meanwhile the NOP stands for no operation which tells the program that is the end of the string of text. Depending on your skill you could write up a simple subroutine (gosub return) to display many lines of text. In fact, I am working on a detailed example of this.

 

Now the other way not only requires you to make a fxt file but requires the people who download it to use it correctly. I am not calling people foolish but the method above creates 1 file and makes it fool proof.

 

There is one other thing you can do to make life simple for yourself. Make certain what you want to say isn't already inside the game script someplace. Load up the GTASAGXT.text and do a simple search for it in there.

Whats wrong with this script? I created a .fxt and put in the CLEO_TEXT folder

 

 

{$VERSION 3.1.0027}{$CLEO .cs}//-------------MAIN---------------thread 'ICON_HELP'wait 100A95: [email protected] = Pickup.Create(1239, 15, 2492.348, -1700.365, 1018.344)wait 1000if  Pickup.Picked_up([email protected])03E5: show_text_box 'ICON'0A93: end_custom_thread

 

 

and heres the .fxt

 

 

ICON Head over to Binco and pickup the icon and type model to scroll through models, press ~k~~CONVERSATION_YES~ and ~k~~CONVERSATION_NO~ to select. If you want CJ back, go to Binco again.

The wait 10 is not needed here. You need a label and loop. Wait 0 is better than waiting 1 second.

 

 

{$VERSION 3.1.0027}{$CLEO .cs}//-------------MAIN---------------thread 'ICON_HELP'0A95: [email protected] = Pickup.Create(1239, 15, 2492.348, -1700.365, 1018.344):loopwait 0if Pickup.Picked_up([email protected])jf @loop03E5: show_text_box 'ICON'0A93: end_custom_thread

Add ~r~, ~g~, ~b~, ~p~, ~w~ or ~y~ before word, that you want to have a color, and ~s~after it.

 

I think that there is a full list somewhere.

G = Green

B = Blue

W = White

Special charackter are problematical, I assume the slash the reason.

Is it just me, or are you going for Redgies Roleplay on single player?

 

You're using the wrong pickup type. Try 1 or re-creating the pickup on pick up.
