@Carbon
You've been here since 2016 and made almost 100 posts, it's not many but it's enough to know how a forum works and functions.
You've also seen "enough of my 4000 posts" that you have probably seen me saying the same thing to other selfish forum users who just take information and give nothing back to the community by announcing they solved their problem and leaving the thread for someone else to find and get no answer from.
The point is - you shouldn't
have to be asked, and your first 2 posts in this thread are the very definition of useless and pointless.
I'm not sure which part of my response triggered you to be sarcastic as my request was genuine: either add the solution or get it deleted it as it's 100% useless.
It's literally you asking a question and then telling everyone you solved it with a "stick your tongue out" emoji - which may as well be a middle finger - and I'd love to hear how you think that is useful to
anyone?
Also, if someone asked something like "how to draw text" and he quickly found the solution after having made a thread, I suppose no one would bother to ask the solution, why? Because it's so simple that it's not worth explaining.
Are you seriously comparing using draw_text() with setting up and integrating jQuery with GMS2?
You said yourself "This is the GMC" so you obviously spend enough time here to know that the majority of users are beginners to intermediate users who can often struggle with basic things like variable scoping, for loops or with blocks.
I did not know that this thread was worth explaining
Are you
really saying that when it took you 2 paragraphs to explain, 2 code blocks of code most forum users won't recognise, the use / integration of a 3rd party JS library, use of the GMS2 Async Event and a link to
another thread explaining how to create / use JS extensions and callbacks to get working?
Hardly explaining the how to use the x, y, and string arguments needed to use draw_text() is it?
If you're going to try and defend your self-centred, selfish behaviour at least try and use a story that is somewhat believable.
Lastly, if you want to address me feel free to do it directly, as for someone moaning about passive aggressiveness you sure do seem to be the one calling me names in this thread without me ever being the one you are actually talking to: "Mr Wanna-Be-Mod", "cactus", "edgy kid" and my favourite, "shmug". I appreciate the effort at variety if nothing else.
Note that I didn't name call or get personal at all in my reply to you, it was purely about the content of your post - or lack of it - but sure, I'm the hostile one.
Thanks for finally posting the explanation of your solution which may help others in future, even if it did have to be extracted from you rather then offered freely.
I hope it didn't hurt too much and hope it's something you can do on your own by default in future should the same thing happen where you find your own solution to a problem before anyone else has a chance to reply.
The less pointless / useless threads on the forum, the better for everyone.
