[LUA] Error on ShowFloatingHelpNotification

[hellyet]

  Notifications:ShowFloatingHelpNotification(
      "My test floating notification :3",
      GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1)),
      3000
  )

Coords is correct, I don't know why it rising an error.

Problem seems to be on Native itself 🤔

FXServer version is 6440 I will try to fix it, if it turns out - I will send a pull-request

[manups4e]

problem seems to be on SetFloatingHelpTextWorldPosition native.. Sure 😄 thanks for the contribution!

[hellyet]

Yeah, it is. But i don't have any idea about problem reason 😔.

[manups4e]

no problem 😄 we'll take a look at it as soon we'll be able to.

[hellyet]

Okey. I think that is cfx api problem.

I found a way to fix it!

    Citizen.CreateThread(function()
        while true do
            Citizen.Wait(5)
            Notifications:ShowFloatingHelpNotification('Test Notification', GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId()), -1)
        end
    end)

This function need to be called every frame.

[manups4e]

Yup, duration is not present in the C# counterpart. Thanks for the finding!! I'm expecting your PR!

[hellyet]

I'm confused... I want to split it into two functions: ShowFloatingHelpNotification, that need to be called every frame, and ShowFloatingHelpNotificationOverTime, that accept a duration param and don't need to be called every frame. What do you think?

But there is one thing: these two functions cannot be called at the same time.

[manups4e]

i would not add the one with duration as you have seen it seems to be erroring out.. i would default it to use -1 and remove the duration parameter.

[hellyet]

I fixed it! (gif is not loading but i works correctly)

RegisterCommand("test_notif", function() 
    Notifications:ShowFloatingHelpNotification('This text will disappear in 3 seconds ', GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId()), 3000)
end, false)

[hellyet]

In future I will be able to separate it into two functions, as i wrote upper.

[manups4e]

in this case.. use 1 function like now and use the check for the duration that

if duration == nil then duration = -1 end

[hellyet]

Check my PR, how i did it.
