# OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw

## Description

This callback is called when a player clicks on a player-textdraw. It is not called when player cancels the select mode (ESC) - however, OnPlayerClickTextDraw is.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| playerid | The ID of the player that selected a textdraw |
| PlayerText:playertextid | The ID of the player-textdraw that the player selected. |

## Returns

Returning 1 in this callback will prevent it being called in other scripts. This should be used to signal that the textdraw on which they clicked was 'found' and no further processing is needed. You should return 0 if the textdraw on which they clicked wasn't found, just like in [OnPlayerCommandText](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/callbacks/OnPlayerCommandText).

It is always called first in filterscripts so returning 1 there also blocks other scripts from processing it.

## Examples

```c
new PlayerText:gPlayerTextDraw[MAX_PLAYERS];

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    // Create the textdraw
    gPlayerTextDraw[playerid] = CreatePlayerTextDraw(playerid, 10.000000, 141.000000, "MyTextDraw");
    PlayerTextDrawTextSize(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], 60.000000, 20.000000);
    PlayerTextDrawAlignment(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], TEXT_DRAW_ALIGN_LEFT);
    PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColor(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], 0x000000FF);
    PlayerTextDrawFont(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], TEXT_DRAW_FONT_1);
    PlayerTextDrawLetterSize(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], 0.250000, 1.000000);
    PlayerTextDrawColor(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], -1);
    PlayerTextDrawSetProportional(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], true);
    PlayerTextDrawSetShadow(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], 1);

    // Make it selectable
    PlayerTextDrawSetSelectable(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid], true);

    // Show it to the player
    PlayerTextDrawShow(playerid, gPlayerTextDraw[playerid]);
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerKeyStateChange(playerid, KEY:newkeys, KEY:oldkeys)
{
    if (newkeys == KEY_SUBMISSION)
    {
        SelectTextDraw(playerid, 0xFF4040AA);
    }
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw(playerid, PlayerText:playertextid)
{
    if (playertextid == gPlayerTextDraw[playerid])
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFAA, "You clicked on a player-textdraw.");
        CancelSelectTextDraw(playerid);
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}
```

## Notes

warning

When a player presses ESC to cancel selecting a textdraw, [OnPlayerClickTextDraw](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/callbacks/OnPlayerClickTextDraw) is called with a textdraw ID of 'INVALID\_TEXT\_DRAW'. [OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/callbacks/OnPlayerClickPlayerTextDraw) won't be called also.
