Why API.DrawText is limited to 99 character?

[the-morpher]

Hello everyone

i want to write some text on screen, and in fact i do using this code in tick “C#” :

API.SetTextFont(0);
API.SetTextProportional(true);
API.SetTextScale(1F, 0.3F);
API.SetTextCentre(true);
API.SetTextColour(255, 255, 255, 255);
API.SetTextDropshadow(0, 0, 0, 0, 255);
API.SetTextDropShadow();
API.SetTextEntry(“STRING”);
API.AddTextComponentString(message);
API.DrawText(0.5F, 0.1F);

1. the problem is the text is limited to 99 character, mean that a message a bit longer will be trimed, i want to show a welcome message with some informations about server that’s why.

2. Another issue is that the text is returning to the next line if it reach the screen bound limit, or i wonder if it can go throu the boundary

any help

well i found a response to the first question about max length

'DrawText' only showing certain amount of characters

I was modifying mraes’ heli script to show street name, direction and speed but it seems to cut off certain characters when there’s a long street name. Any help? Short/single street name [Screenshot_1] Long/cross street name [Screenshot_2] (doesn’t show speed, sometimes it just shows ‘Spe’ or something)

but still want ability to hide the reste of message if it reach end of screen, any helps ?
