xjinx · 2019-04-20T17:01:30.914Z

Hi i try to make a script there shows the ping. the script working fine . the problem is the drawtxt is blinking i tried to put Citizen.Wait (0) but no difference

-- client.lua
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while true do
    	Citizen.Wait(0)
		TriggerServerEvent("getinfo")
	end
end)

RegisterNetEvent('information')
AddEventHandler('information', function(ping)
	drawTxt('~b~PING: ~w~'..ping, 0, 1, 0.5, 0.8, 0.6, 255, 255, 255, 255)
end)

function drawTxt(text, font, centre, x, y, scale, r, g, b, a)
	SetTextFont(font)
	SetTextProportional(0)
	SetTextScale(scale, scale)
	SetTextColour(r, g, b, a)
	SetTextDropShadow(0, 0, 0, 0, 255)
	SetTextEdge(1, 0, 0, 0, 255)
	SetTextDropShadow()
	SetTextOutline()
	SetTextCentre(centre)
	SetTextEntry("STRING")
	AddTextComponentString(text)
	DrawText(x, y)
end

-- server.lua
RegisterServerEvent('getinfo')
AddEventHandler('getinfo', function()
	local ping = GetPlayerPing(source)
	TriggerClientEvent('information', source, ping)
end)

You are literaly sending every tick a new message to the server and only drawing when receiving something back, ofcourse it blinks

I suggest having a draw thread whichs just calls drawtxt every tick and then having another thread which requests the user ping every 1000ms or something and then set it in a variable which the draw thread can use
