1.9 | Draw Text

[MrQuatsch]

Hey,

how is it possible to draw a string like the fps or the cords ingame?

I tryed to make it with a RenderGameOverlayEvent but it then just crashed the game.

Thanks for any help

[MrQuatsch]

	@SubscribeEvent
public void onRender(RenderGameOverlayEvent event){
	if(!event.isCancelable() && event.getType() == net.minecraftforge.client.event.RenderGameOverlayEvent.ElementType.EXPERIENCE){
		int posX = 3;
		int posY = event.getResolution().getScaledHeight() - 10;
		drawString(fontRendererObj, "test", posX, posY, 1);

- Do not subscribe to the raw RenderGameOverlayEvent. Choose Pre or Post.

What do you mean with this?

Or could you please send me what do you mean?

There are multiple sub-events that you have to choose from. Most sub-events are static classes from the raw event. So you don't choose

RenderGameOverlayEvent

, but either

RenderGameOverlayEvent.Pre

or

RenderGameOverlayEvent.Post

.

Still dont work.

	@SubscribeEvent
public void onRender(RenderGameOverlayEvent.Pre event){
	if(event.getType() == net.minecraftforge.client.event.RenderGameOverlayEvent.ElementType.EXPERIENCE){
		int x = 3;
		int y = event.getResolution().getScaledHeight() - 10;
		fontRendererObj.drawString("text", x, y, 0xffffff);
	}
}
