Lua doSendAnimatedText Function

[Fady]

hello, today I've changed Client from 8.71 to 9.6 but I've seen this error in console "doSendAnimatedText is now a deprecated function"
I've seen over 10 9. ots using animated text so i'm pretty sure its not removed.
is it replaced or something? :L

regards,
Fady

Only possible to show numbers with animatedtext, like experience and damage.

You can use the function I made so ur scripts are still compatible though
just make sure you remove anything that sends text

so its not possible by source editing or something?
I've seen animated texts on 9.~ ots, how do letters work with them?

Nope, blame CipSoft. They removed it from the client, so without a custom client, it's never possible.

You probably saw them using doCreatureSay @ a location that functions somewhat like animated text, just not as colorful

truth is, there's no other way, so I guess you'll just have to with what you have..

I think I'll use "doCreatureSay" but interval="5000" so it can appear once, so now it will look the same as animated text but orange ;p
