ShowText/Showpoly in joined classes

Hello, I'm trying to use showtext and showpoly from the class and it just wont work.

The class has //#CLIENTSIDE at the top so I assumed it would work and it's being joined to a clientside object. The error I get in the F2 window is:

Is it not possible to use showtext or showpoly from joined classes?

Yes, it is. Mind showing us the script thats not working?

I'm trying to make a mouseover class.

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

public function onCreated() {

setTimer(1);

}

public function setToolTip(text) {

  this.text = text;

  setTimer(1);

}



function onTimeout() {

  if (mousescreenx-12 in |this.x,this.x+this.width*4| && mousescreeny-6 in |this.y,this.y+this.height*8|) {

    showTooltip();

  }

  else {

   hideimg(350);

  }

  setTimer(1);

  

}



function showTooltip() {

  echo(this.text); //shows correctly in F2 window on mouseover

  showtext(350, 20, 20, "Arial", "b", this.text ).zoom = 0.6; //gives error in F2 window

  changeimgvis(350,7);

}

Heres how I'm using it:

PHP Code:


		
			
findimg(i).join("mouseover");

findimg(i).setToolTip("test text");

Uhh.. do this:

PHP Code:


		
			
showtext(350, 20, 20, "Arial", "b", this.text );

changeimgzoom(350, 0.6);

it's worked how i have it in other places. Just saves a line. But, removing .zoom() from the end doesn't solve the problem. F2 window still reports that the function cant be found.

There are ways to work around having to use showtext.
controlling script:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  this.imgs = new [5];

  temp.texts = {

                 "I am testing.",

                 "No really, I am.",

                 "C'mon! I seriously am!",

                 "Why don't you believe me?",

                 "Fine, be that way! :("

               };

  this.tlen = this.imgs.size();

  for (temp.i=0;temp.i<this.tlen;temp.i++) {

    this.imgs[temp.i] = showtext(200+temp.i,20,20+14*temp.i,"Arial","",temp.texts[temp.i]);

    this.imgs[temp.i].parent = this;

    with (this.imgs[temp.i]) {

      this.layer = 5;

      this.zoom = 12/23;

      this.join("mouseover");

      this.setToolTip("test text");

      this.tooltip = findimg(350+temp.i);

      this.width = gettextwidth(12/23,"","Arial",temp.texts[temp.i]);

      this.height = gettextheight(12/23,"","Arial");

    }

  }

}

mouseover class:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

public function setToolTip(text) {

  this.tooltext = text;

  setTimer(0.05);

}

function onTimeout() {

  if (mousescreenx in |this.x,this.x+this.width| 

    && mousescreeny in |this.y,this.y+this.height|) {

    showTooltip();

  }

  elseif (this.wait > 0) this.wait --;

  else {

    thiso.tooltip.text = "";

  }

  setTimer(0.05);

}

function showTooltip() {

  for (temp.i=0;temp.i<this.parent.tlen;temp.i++) {

    this.parent.imgs[temp.i].wait = 0;

    this.parent.imgs[temp.i].tooltip.text = "";

  }

  this.wait = 20;

  echo(this.tooltext);

  this.tooltip.zoom = 12/23;

  this.tooltip.layer = 7;

  this.tooltip.text = this.tooltext;

  this.tooltip.style = "b";

  this.tooltip.x = mousescreenx + 14;

  this.tooltip.y = mousescreeny + 2;

}

so are you saying showpoly/showtext cant be used the normal way from a joined class?

If theres not I can put the showtext/showpoly parts in the weapon NPC thats calling it. It'd just be nicer to have it in a class :)
