[Solved] TextTags

[arielavi]

Is there any way to show a text tag to a specific player? I need to do a damage system that shows a text tag just to the player who did the damage.

Any suggestions? I've searched but didn't find anything yet.

Just use GetLocalPlayer.
Usually you can't create an handle locally, since it will desycn, but texttags are pseudo handles, you can create them locally safely, it even helps to not reach the hardcoded limit of 100 simultaneous texttags.

local string s = "texttag message"
// it's better to use the string outside the local block, just to avoid
// a possible string table desync (but personnaly i've never experienced it,
// anyway moar safety can't be bad)

if GetLocalPlayer() == yourSpecificPlayer then
 // do your stuff with texttag
endif

Thank you, I'll try that. But I use a 'text tag system' which is a function where i create, set and destroy them. How does

 GetLocalPlayer()

work?

edit: nvm, problem solved.
