You are probably not telling your program to wait for anything. If you are doing a time/loops based wait, know that it sometimes takes the monitor a 1/2 second or so to change modes. Show us some code and perhapse we can help.

The fastest code is the code never written.

to show what dbText did, you need to sunc (dbSync), but if you have anything 3D being rendered, what dbText rendered is erased after syncing, so it needs to be in a loop so you render it after it was erased after the sync

from what your dbText says, you are trying to use it to display loading info, it could look like



or something a bit more polished

Another question: Can i set a time to display it?
Ex: i wanna show the text like 30 secs

PS: if i can put the text like 30 secs then i wanna to make a basic menu saying some tips like the keys to play and stuff, but multiline.


Thanks all

You can use the dbTimer() to calc length of time.

The only need for credits is to the TGC themselves really for all of this on their site.

Every individual has their own expertise level of programming and as time goes by you get better at it. We're only here to help and there's time we ask for help too.
