Arteq · 06-03-2011, 10:25

Hi all,
I saw a lot of scrolling HUD's (at the bottom of screen like in PTK) but no one tutorial o_O
I tried to import code from PTK myself Nyan Cat

but got error Smile

Who can post code?)

Code:
//Create level thread Create_Newsbar(); 
//level thread Set_Newsbartext();
//level thread Update_Newsbar(); in your onplayerswpawned(); then stick this anywhere else
 
Create_Newsbar( Shader, Align, Alpha, Color, Speed )

Try this.. if it doesnt work run in dev mode and find the bad syntax.
