Hello. So i want to make a text info about loading. Not real loading but just simple one. The problem is the text is appearing for like 0.2 seconds, disapearing and the next one is showing one and disapearing and again and again…

Works nearly like this (just a reference how it works now, this gif is not about my problem and does not belong to me):

You should draw text every tick

Citizen.CreateThread(function ()
    while true do
        Citizen.Wait(0)
        if showTips then
            local progress = 0
            while progress < 100 do
                SetTextProperties("Wczytywanie ekranu wyboru postaci: " .. progress .. "%", 0.900)
                Citizen.Wait(1000)
                progress = progress + 12.5
            end
        end
    end
end)

I tried that before but it doesn’t work too and makes the same effect.

You wait 1second (Citizen.Wait(1000)) between draw calls. Remove “while” loop and citizen.wait.
