HUD not working

I wanted to make a HUD that would show some text on the bottom of the screen, but I dont seem to get it working

Here's where i precached it:

Code:

---

        game["hud_text"] = &"RAndom TeXt";
        precacheString(game["hud_text"]);

---

Under spawnPlayer() I have:

Code:

---

ShowText()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
        self endon("joined_spectators");
       
        if(!isDefined(self.text_right))
        {
                self.text_right = newClientHudElem(self);
                self.text_right.x = 249;
                self.text_right.y = 471;
                self.text_right.alignX = "left";
                self.text_right.alignY = "middle";
                self.text_right.sort = 1;
                self.text_right.alpha = 1;
                self.text_right.fontScale = 1.2;
                self.text_right.archived = true;
                self.text_right setText(game["hud_text"]);
        }
}

The problem was so simple, thanks :D

1 more thing - don't use endon() unless there is a wait time of some sorts: either wait( time ) or waittill( event ). The use of endon() uses up script variables, and when you hit the limit, it will shut down your server.

Usage will be cleared at the end of the function, which is very very soon :) (cause no waits)
