[Q/LUA] How to display notifications above the minimap?

[Trifecta]

I found the code in C and converted it to LUA

 

Here is my result:

 

function notifyAboveMap(msg)     UI._0x202709F4C58A0424("STRING")    UI._ADD_TEXT_COMPONENT_STRING(msg)    UI._0x2ED7843F8F801023(FALSE, FALSE)end

However I'm getting an error at 'UI._0x202709F4C58A0424("STRING")' saying

Attempt to Call field '_0x202709F4C58A0424' <a nil value>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Forgot to mention, I'm calling the method by:

notifyAboveMap("HELLO")

Maybe the hash gained a name now. As in, the hash you're trying to call is actually a named function instead of one of the anonymous ones.

 

I'm not sure how you'd go about discovering this, I presume the hash you used can still be found in natives.h

You are correct:

    UI._0x202709F4C58A0424("STRING")     = UI._SET_NOTIFICATION_TEXT_ENTRY("STRING")    UI._ADD_TEXT_COMPONENT_STRING(msg)   = UI._ADD_TEXT_COMPONENT_STRING(msg)    UI._0x2ED7843F8F801023(FALSE, FALSE) = UI._DRAW_NOTIFICATION(false, false)

Would make his thingy work.

use the function in this way

gui.NotifyAboveMap ("String", 1000)

substitute 1000 to any positive integer as the milliseconds of the notification will be shown

This is GTALua, in case anyone was wondering.

 

Also, for future reference, you can use NativeDB to find natives using their hash. I searched for "_0x202709F4C58A0424" (no underscore works too) and it brought me to the proper native.
