DrawText error

[nanook77]

am trying to modify a ninjascript file and keep getting the following error on compile:

No overload for method 'DrawText' takes '10' arguments.

if (signalIndex < 0 || Signals.Get(0) == signals[signalIndex]) {
RemoveDrawObject(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal");
Signals.Set(0);
} else {
if (signals[signalIndex] > 0 && myWoodies[0] < 120) {
DrawText(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal_text", signals_text[signalIndex], 0, -180, Color.Blue, Signals_text, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent,Color.Transparent,10);
DrawArrowUp(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal", true, 0, -200, Color.LimeGreen);
Alert(CurrentBar.ToString(), Priority.Medium, "Long:" + signals_text[signalIndex], alertAudioFile, alertTimeInterval*60, Color.Red, Color.White);
Signals.Set(signals[signalIndex]);
}
else if (signals[signalIndex] < 0 && myWoodies[0] > -120) {
DrawText(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal_text", signals_text[signalIndex], 0, -180, Color.Red,Signals_text,StringAlignment.Center,Colo r.Transparent,Color.Transparent,10);
DrawArrowUp(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal", true, 0, -200, Color.Red);
Alert(CurrentBar.ToString(), Priority.Medium, "Short:" + signals_text[signalIndex], alertAudioFile, alertTimeInterval*60, Color.Red, Color.White);
Signals.Set(signals[signalIndex]);
}
}

}


have tried modify - obviously not up to the programming standards needed in ninjascript.

any help appreciated.

Hello,

This means your parameters are messed up. Modify this line for your needs:
DrawText(CurrentBar + "Signal_text",false, "test", 0, Close[0],0, Color.Blue, new Font("Arial", 10), StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent,Color.Transparent,10);

tried this code - still get compile code that:

no overload for method 'draw text' takes '10' arguments.

f (signalIndex < 0 || Signals.Get(0) == signals[signalIndex]) {
RemoveDrawObject(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal");
Signals.Set(0);
} else {
if (signals[signalIndex] > 0 && myWoodies[0] < 120){
DrawText(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal_text", true, signals_text[signalIndex], 0, 140, 0, Color.Blue,Signals_text,StringAlignment.Center,Col or.Transparent,Color.Transparent,0);
DrawArrowUp(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal", true, 0, -200, Color.LimeGreen);
Alert(CurrentBar.ToString(), Priority.Medium, "Long:" + signals_text[signalIndex], alertAudioFile, alertTimeInterval*60, Color.Red, Color.White);
Signals.Set(signals[signalIndex]);
}
else if (signals[signalIndex] < 0 && myWoodies[0] > -120) {
DrawText(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal_text", false, "test", 0, close[0], 0, Color.Blue,Signals_text,StringAlignment.Center,Col or.Transparent,Color.Transparent,10);
DrawArrowUp(CurrentBar.ToString() + "Signal", true, 0, -180, Color.Red);
Alert(CurrentBar.ToString(), Priority.Medium, "Short:" + signals_text[signalIndex], alertAudioFile, alertTimeInterval*60, Color.Red, Color.White);
Signals.Set(signals[signalIndex]);
}

any thoughts appreciated.

Hello,

Make these changes one by one to determine the source of the issue:
signals_text[signalIndex] --> "myTest"
Signals_text --> new Font("Arial", 10),
0); --> 10

nanook77, you likely miss the new PixelOffset paramter as well as this was added with the autoScale one to NT7's amended overload for DrawText -
