Ok im trying to make a script where when you perss the tab button an image appears and shows the other players you are typeing but it doesnt seem to work ?

can anyone help

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  setTimer( 0.05 );
}

function onTimeout() {
  if ( ChatBar.visible == true ) {
    if ( this.wasvisible == false ) {
      this.wasvisible = true;
      ShowImgFunction();
    }
  } elseif ( this.wasvisible == true ) { 
    this.wasvisible = false;
  }
  
  setTimer( 0.05 );
} 

function ShowImgFunction() {
  showimg( 2000, "zone_teamsymbols-et.png", player.x, player.y );
}

I don't see why you would need a timer for this, just check if the tab key was pressed. N-Pulse does it something like this.

I think I set it up on N-Pulse way back then. Anyway, you wouldn't trigger it when the player presses the tab button, you would trigger it when the chat bar is visible. I suppose you could incorporate both the tab and the chat bar visibility together, or you could just use a timeout loop (timeout loop not recommended but would work nonetheless, wouldn't really cause any extra strain on the server if done in a pre-existing loop but it's still not necessary).

Yeah, don't use a timeout. Try something like this

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onKeyPressed() {
  if (keydown(8)) {
    if (ChatBar.visible == true) {
    } else {
    }
  }
}

Well, you could do a visible check first and then a tab key check with an onKeyPressed() so it at least goes away when moving or pressing a key.

You can't move while the chatbar is visible so that wouldn't be a problem.

When you click anywhere on your game screen the chatbar goes away without using and onKeyPressed() function.

Then I suppose your previous statement holds merit.

No need for more discussion, Andy's code should work fine

Would work, yes, but it wouldn't work in all cases such as one brought up by Switch where you hide the chatbar without pressing the tab button. All of this needs to be accounted for.

How else do you hide the chatbar?

Left clicking anywhere in your Graal screen that there is no GUI or such.

Edit: Something like this:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown() {
  if (leftMouseButton) {
    if (ChatBar.visible == true) {
      sleep(0.05);
      if (ChatBar.visible == false) {
        //hide image?
      }
    }
  }
}

Didn't try it, but using those two events should do the trick:

PHP Code:

function ChatBar.onShow() {
  // stuff
}

function ChatBar.onHide() {
  // more stuff
}

This works too.
