So I have been having some troubles when actually calling the newsbar function. All goes well in my menu until I choose to enable the news bar and everything else freezes and I no longer have control of the rest of the menu.

If you could help out to figure the problem that would be great!

The current code is:


if(NewsBar == 0)
                  {
                     NewsBar=1;
                     setIcon(nbshader[i], 1000, 40, 355, 400, 1, 0, 0, 0, 210);
                     setText(nbitems[i], "^7Welcome To My Menu ^3|| ^1Coded By xXxXx ^3|| ^5Hope That you Enjoy^3||^1<3 errrbody^3||^7Enjoy! :)", 6, 20, 355, 400, 1, 0x5);
                     for (int p = 355; p > 0; )
                     {
                        p = p - 0.00000005;
                        ElemMove(nbitems[i], p, 400);
                        if (p < 20)
                        {
                           p = 355;
                        }
                        Sleep(10);
                     }
                  }

Because the newsbar loops infinitely and it is called within the same thread as your menu, all it can do is run through your newsbar code over and over. So to get it to work you would have to thread it so the console could execute both it and the menu at the same time.

To go along with what he said, I would suggest adding in
if (NewsBar == 1)
{
if (Dvar_GetBool == 1)
{
whatever your code is
}
}


I use that in my menus, as it makes it only run the newsbar when you are in game. However, that is if you want the newsbar from the start. If you know what you are doing you can figure it out.

Whooaaaaa skids get your Languages corect ....
Buttons is C# and if you are looking for newsbar for XRPC then these kids
Are correct , if you want it for C++ it is different

Languages ::

C# : XRPC tools and JTAGRPC Tools - yes this is the one with buttons
C++ : makes .dll's for cod - yes this is the one which had no buttons

My code is in C# though? I know my languages. I use C# to make my own tool and that is the code I use to activate my newsbar

EDIT: Just noticed the post says C++ sorry I'm tired
