Answered Setting text to a hud element without using SetText()?

[Racist Dolphin]

Right now i'm having a problem using SetText(), in a loop anyways it crashes after 25 - 30 minutes of game time.
The error: BG_Cache_GetIndexInternal - Exceeded '2048' items for type 'string'

Does NewHudElem have a text property I can use?
.text doesn't work.

This is caused by a string overflow. You could create a string overflow fix which deletes the strings after an specif amount of strings to prevent the game from crashing.

If you want to display a variable with the HUD-Element, you could use setValue which won't face this issue.

What type of string would you like to display with your HUD-Element?

How would I go about deleting the string?
Which array are strings stored?

I know deleting the hud and re-creating it doesn't work either.

I'm using NewHudElem and have also tried createFontString.

There are a few overflow fixes out there for black ops 2, you could port one to black ops 3. What generally the issue is with the strings is written here: Answered - Help! Me Out with a Overflowfix | CabConModding

Well the function ClearAllTextAfterHudElem does exist, but I don't know what parameters it needs. I just tried putting the hud in but still got an error.

I'm creating a stopwatch.

Thank you. In this case it's better to create a hud with setText to defined the string and to create next to this message a hud with setValue to defined the time. With setValue you won't have any string issue.

void <hud_value_element> SetValue(<value>)
[MANDATORY] <value> The value to set the element to

I tried this, but you can't add a colon to it. Creating multiple huds side by side would be extremely difficult and would look sloppy.

Right now I'm thinking i'm probably missing a using and thats why ClearAllTextAfterHud isn't working. Which script do I need to be using?

#using scripts\codescripts\struct;
#using scripts\shared\callbacks_shared;
#using scripts\shared\system_shared;
#using scripts\shared\ai\zombie_utility;
#using scripts\shared\hud_util_shared;
#using scripts\shared\rank_shared;

#using scripts\zm\_zm_score;
#using scripts\zm\_zm_utility;
#using scripts\zm\_zm_perks;
#using scripts\zm\_zm_lightning_chain;
#using scripts\zm\_zm_weapons;

clearAllTextAfterHudElem() is a core function and doesn't require any includes. Maybe they remove the function from black ops 3.

Well is there a way to clear the strings that I'm creating? They must be stored somewhere.

Sorry for my super late answer. Unfortunately I don't know. Do you found something new out?

I've been looking at how to recreate this function for the past month. Currently, there is no such thing as a String Overflow Fix for BO3. Not unless someone wants to recreate it at the injector level. I have asked boggy, who runs infinity loader, if he could recreate it. He said, "I can add that". So I guess we'll see.

u don't need an inject to make a overflow fix, that dumb to even think that.

Oh. Then you must have coded one for BO3 in gsc? I'd love for you to share it.

If it's dumb to think that, then I guess agreed bog, and serious are dumb. People I consider way smarter than me. Which they have said it would have to be recreated by the injector itself.
