Use Citizen.Wait(0) or some way to let the client know it needs to yield. Right now it will run indefinitely, thus freezing your client.

Also, you are misusing “functions”. You can re-use functions multiple times. Delete DrawTxt2 DrawTxt3 DrawTxt4 and only have DrawTxt

Then simply

DrawTxt(1.200, 0.87, 2.395,1.0,0.45,"~w~Website: ~r~"..website.."~w~", 255,255,255,255)
DrawTxt(1.200, 0.90, 2.395,1.0,0.45,"~w~Discord: ~r~"..discord.."~w~", 255,255,255,255)
DrawTxt(1.200, 0.50, 1.0,1.0,0.50,"~w~Your ID: ~r~".. id .."~w~", 255,255,255,255)
DrawTxt(1.200, 0.52, 1.0,1.0,0.50,"~w~Your Name: ~r~".. name .."~w~", 255,255,255,255)
