This function creates a notification balloon on the desktop.

Note

MTA won't show any tray notifications if the MTA window is focused, because there is no reason to show tray notifications if you are in-game. If you want to test this function you should use a Timer and switch to your desktop.

Note

You can only show a tray notification every 30 seconds.

Syntax

bool createTrayNotification ( string notificationText, [ string iconType = "default", bool useSound = true ] )
Required Arguments
  • notificationText: The text to send in the notification.
Optional Arguments

  • useSound (default: true): A boolean value indicating whether or not to play a sound when receiving the notification.

Returns

  • bool: value

Returns true if the notification is correctly created, false otherwise.
