note

-   If [PlayerTextDrawSetOutline](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/PlayerTextDrawSetOutline) is used with size > 0, the outline colour will match the colour used in PlayerTextDrawBackgroundColour.
-   Changing the value of colour seems to alter the colour used in PlayerTextDrawColour.
