drawtext.lua issue

[onaid]

hi all , am having some trouble with the drawtext.lua . I have attached a trial project where there are two collision triggers and two drawtext pivots also two delay triggers.

 

what i want to achieve is when player walks into first trigger the first text is displayed, then off.

 

when player walks into second trigger , second text is displayed, then delay trigger turns it off.

 

each draw text, and collision has a delay trigger to turn off text and disable collision trigger.

 

pretty straight forward stuff right ?

 

well what is happening is both drawtext pivots are showing up ? like each time the drawtext.lua is called its displaying both text at same time ?

 

so even if i only collide with first trigger it is also showing second drawtext ?

The problem is with your Draw Script.

Your default is on. So it shows even before you get to the Trigger.

You also had the TextConfirm variable set as a global variable. So as soon as it was set for the first text it was also set for the second.

 

The following should work.

 

Script.Text = "Enter Text Here"--String
Script.X = 0 --Int "X Position"
Script.Y = 0 --Int "Y Position"
Script.FontSize = 32 --Int "Font Size"
Script.Text_On = false --bool "Default off"
--Script.TextConfirm = false

function Script:Start()
--TextConfirm = self.Text_On
self.context = Context:GetCurrent()
self.window = self.context:GetWindow()
local font = Font:Load("Fonts/Arial.ttf",self.FontSize)
	 self.context:SetFont(font)
end
function Script:PostRender(context)
if (self.Text_On == true) then
self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
self.context:SetColor(1,1,1)
self.context:DrawText(self.Text, self.X,self.Y)
self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
end
end
function Script:TextOn()--in
self.Text_On = true
end
function Script:TextOff()--in
self.Text_On = false
end
