## Notes

tip

If you want to change the outline of a textdraw that is already shown, you don't have to recreate it. Simply use [TextDrawShowForPlayer](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/TextDrawShowForPlayer)/[TextDrawShowForAll](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/TextDrawShowForAll) after modifying the textdraw and the change will be visible.
